Pirate

We have given away one of our kitties - my favorite, Pirate. She was certainly a sweet-head. We gave her to a good home where I know she'll be taken care of.

Yesterday at school, the mom of the boy in my class who adopted Pirate came in the lunchroom crying. I didn't notice at first, but when I asked how Pirate was she turned to me - face red and wet - and told me "We lost her." Then I started crying. Several people asked why and I told them what happened. She took her son with her to help look.
I was miserable all afternoon, and then the office called and said, "Mrs. _______, can you send Bonnie to the office?"
I jumped up at once and said "YES!" and quickly walked to the office. As I left I heard someone shout out, "There she goes!" And go I certainly did.
I knew the news that was to come, but I couldn't wait to hear it myself.
When I got on the phone, I said "Hello?" and a very relieved voice told me they had found Pirate hiding in the mudroom and that since she was our kitty before she just had to tell me. I walked back to the classroom beaming, and as I entered again, some people asked me "Did they find the kitty?" I told them yes and my teacher asked, "What's all this about?" I re-told the story again and had a good afternoon after that.

Live long, Mew often, Love much Dear Pirate.

I was so sad to make you worried cutie! Pirate is getting happier every hour-- our house is pretty crazy so it's a lot to get used to! We are calling her Bessy, LucyBelle and Princess. It may take us a while to settle on a name. She is the sweetest kitty in the world! We love her so much.
