Update on the 'Moody Blue' saga
Moody Blue's mom just stopped by and gave me a bouquet of flowers to thank me for bringing him home to her. I'm stunned! She also had learned more about his adventure and filled me in on that.
Her daughter had left Moody sunning himself on their balcony when she left for work shortly before noon. Apparently he couldn't get back in the apartment and dropped roughly 12 - 15 feet - balcony railing to shrubs or ground level. (Here in the US we call their floor the second floor, one up from the ground floor. In the UK it would be called the first floor. Not sure what it's called elsewhere.) When the neighbor got home at about 6:30, due to her headache she didn't count noses... Whew!! I'd pictured him sneaking out the door when she came in. That's quite a drop for a little guy.
Ironically, for those of you here last fall when I had the panic when Cassy ate the Dianthus blossom, her bouquet is ... dianthus! These are the white ones with the fuchia tips varigating down the petals. Very lovely with a sweet spicy scent that's a little like cinnamon. Both fur-babies have sniffed it over thoroughly under strict observation and no-one's tried to munch a blossom. Maybe I can start having cut flowers in my home again: I've missed them.
