Hi, Daisy here, Cinderalla, opps I mean Cinders tell your Dad a girl's gotta have a little fun once in a while. But whew, Cinders lucky your Dad got that call or you might be sleeping in the backyard of a stranger. Don't worry, he won't be mad for long and pretty soon that thingy around your neck will be gone, and Dad will be hugging and kissing you all the time. Just lay low for a little while, or you might try the independent act, that always works for me. Hugs to Smokey and the Kittie.

Cinder!!

What a scare you gave your daddy. *shakes head* You do realize that Kia is in the background applauding.

Just lay low and soon daddy will calm down.

[Stenograsaurus]

I would love to know what went on inside Cinder's head when she came back to jump in the car and it wasn't there. She was probably sooo scared. I'm so glad everything turned out okay. Cinder, don't scare daddy like that!!!!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Cinder your Dad has a lot to deal with right now with Boots being sick. I know running free is SO much fun but you bout scared your Dad to death. Please don't ever do that again. You could have been hurt too and that would make us all very sad.

[Albea]

Cinder:
We know all pups like to receive awards, but the Bad Dawg-a-the-Munth? That's not a good one to get Don't pull that trick again, please. If you are very good in the next couple of days your dad will forgive you, as long as you promise not to go looking for creatures in hidden places without telling him.

[Cincy'sMom]

Oh, Cinder girl, didn't you hear my story bout trying ta scape?...I tried it once when me daddie wuz gone and I wuz jus wit my mommie.

Cinder you better be good or there may be a dose of clam juice in your future!!

[Corinna]

Merlin says:


Oh no not clams again! Cinder it's not spring you do that in the spring. Squrriels will get you in trouble every time. i won't tell you my story of the fuzzy buggers It would gross out and make cat owners mad. Just stay away from them .

[lizbud]

AWE Cinder sweetie, in the dog house again Huh?

Poor baby, probably just wanted to show dad how good
you were at catchin those furry varments.

Buddy would have understood your thinking. He once
while on leash for a nice quiet walk, turned on a dime &
took off with Mom literally flying behind holding on to the
leash for dear life. Mom had to drop the leash when Bud
took off down a steep hill & across a street up onto a
neighbor's porch to corner a cat. He didn't hurt the cat,
but mom lay spread eagled in the grass for all the neighbor's
to see He was eventually forgiven.I hope you are too.
