I think the biggest effect on Minnie is going to be the cold weather! We had a dip last night into the low 50's (sorry I don't know the celsius conversion!!! maybe around 14???). I went down to the basement to stretch a little, and looked for Minnie under the workbench- NO MINNIE. Of course, I tear around to all the usual downstairs haunts..NO MINNIE! . So, back up the steps, through the house twice, back down the basement- NO MINNIE.

Then, I checked in my bedroom closet...there she was, hiding behind the clothes

I guess I need to put a little rug in there for her, huh?

Needless to say, I skipped the rest of the stretching- I was tired, but sooo happy to see that she ventured upstairs! This is twice now!!!!! Though the first time she only popped her head through the cat door. Maybe by Christmas she will be sleeping on my bed!!! I am so excited and proud of my little Minnie!
