Dear Groucho,

I know how confusing it is when your cuddle buddy (ies) are missing. Things aren't the same When mommy or daddy is away I always pace around the house and call for whoever is missing and it's very stressful, not to mention tiring.

When my daddy's away I check his chair several times a day to make sure he didn't sneak back home without telling me mommy says I have the most forlorn look on my face when I discover he still not there.

When mommy's away, she calls everyday and daddy lets me "talk" to her on the telephone - he says pretty soon I'll need my own cellphone

What to do? Take lots of naps and have sweet dreams about cuddling with Soncat and make sure his favourite t-shirt doesn't get thrown in the wash Also, remember that sad looks get lots of cuddles and treats too

Take it easy - he'll be home soon.

My best, Eve
