    Zam the Hall Monitor

    So this morning I take the dogs out for their morning ritual.

    When I come back in, Logan is sitting on the arm rest of the couch and so I let him go out into the hall for a minute to sniff around. Since he's so skittish, I simply clap my hands and he bolts back inside.

    I head to the bedroom and start to watch last night's LOST. 5 minutes later, there is a loud knock on the door and the dogs go nuts.

    I pause, not sure if I should throw a robe on, but then decide my flannel jammies will just have to do. As I get closer to the door, I hear Zam scratching and howling her fool head off.

    She streaks past me as I open the door and a guy is standing there. He asks, "Is that your cat?"

    LOL! (At least she knew which door WAS her's.)

    I told him yes, and thank you, while the dogs love on him. I'm trying to wrangle the dogs back in but he tells me he loves dogs and they are okay.

    He told me Zam was prowling the halls and crying but when he tried to pick her up, she ran back to our front door. He was worried about how freaked out she was.

    He then notices the drum shells in the living room and asks if I play to which I tell him, no, my husband plays but the drums are set up at my sister's house.

    He introduces himself as Peter and I reciprocate the greeting.

    Nice guy.

    Hopefully Zam will not door dart again anytime soon. She must of zipped out when I took the dogs out.

    I guess Zam figured I needed to meet some more neighbors.

    Awww, she's beautiful. I don't believe I've met her before. I'm glad she found her way home.

    Zam will be 8 years old this year. I've had her since she was about a year or two old. She dislikes the flashy box, so photos are few and far between. And her antics are rare, but when they happen, oh boy!

    I found that funny too and LOL! They think they want to get out until they get out there and go "OPPS! What have I DONE?"

    Do you always do your *Meet 'n Greets* in your Flannel Jammies?



    Kinda begs the question:
    WHAT does she wear for the Dawg Walks???

    One of the Guests was Lincoln Alexander , a Member of Parliment in the 60s and 70s, and he jokingly asked if My Neighbor knew she had more guests.
    He was so gracious nad he made them a plate and they returned home.
    The Lady was embarrassed and I blocked off the balcony.
    But they had pate and some Pheasant, so they knew what they were doing.

    Zam, you are a very beautiful hall monitor / social secretary! I'm sorry you don't like the camera because it definitely likes you. No more door darting, please... is there any chance you can monitor the door from just inside?

    Oh Zam, I hope you were scared enough to not dart out the door like that again. You were lucky that you met up with a nice neighbour.

    It's too bad that Zam hates the flashy box, because she is absolutely one GORGEOUS girl and I would love to see more pictures of her.
