Notebook
Ida Hisser
Our grandchildren live thou
sands of miles away. So if we arc
lucky we sec them once or twice a
year. Therefore, it is seldom that I
am asked to babysit for them.
But pets arc another story.
When my son and his wife flew to
Chicago to attend a wedding, I was
asked to tend their two dogs. One
is a year-old German Shepherd
mix, “Bandit”, that loves to jump
up on me to show his affection.
This is not my idea of the ideal
behavior when I must feed him on
a Sunday morning.
Their other dog is an Australian
Shepherd puppy, “Joshua”, that is
very good at losing his feed and
water dishes. We never did find the
one until a few days had gone by.
He is to be trained to herd cows,
but being a pessimist. I’ll have to
see that to believe it
My four days with Cindy’s
black kitten, “Stormy”, is another
story. This is a house cat, and it did
use its litter box which I greatly
appreciated. However, it had so
much energy and wasn’t sati-dicd
to explore the floor plan ol the
seven rooms on the first floor but
continually walked over the furni
ture. Now this led to sitting on the
windowsills between the flowci
pots and behind the lace curtains 1
will say that it was very careful and
only knocked one pot on the floor
One day I coaxed it out the back
door and it hid under the lily leaves
and would not come when I called
it. So when I finally caught it, I pul
it back in the house, and then ii
actually cried to come out again. Ii
was afraid it would get lost in the
heavy foliage that surrounds oui
lawn, and then when Cindy came
for it, it would be gone.
Anyway, she arrived from
North Carolina one evening to gel
her pet. She let it in the yard and ii
promptly climbed a tall tree as a
thrush was scolding it We could
not coax it down, and so my sot
had to get a tall ladder and go up
after it or I’d still be pet situng
