As much as we miss Smokey's company, Heela and I are very happy that we got her back to her owners.

That Friday, Heela and I hung Found posters around the apartment complex and around town. After doing that and walking our dogs, I went back to my apartment and checked my cellphone. I had one voice mail. It was from a Heather who was estatic that I found her cat.

Her name is Smokey and she's an indoor cat. Someone had left Heather's door ajar and Smokey slipped out unnoticed. By the time Heather realized she was missing, Smokey had already jumped the creek and had followed Heela home.

When Heather came over (in socks no less! 'No time to put on shoes.' she said. ) Smokey meowed and gave Heather lots of kisses.

I love happy endings.
