Was out looking for Bella tonight.

I didn't see or hear her.  I didn't expect to, but I just won't know if I don't try.

I was talking to my friend, Linda, last night about Bella.  I hadn't put lost signs in Mt. Vernon or on Craigslist for my area and that's because I don't think she is 8 miles away.  However, I will add her photo at the grocery store and post office closest to this little town.  I always have the very tiny hope that someone will see the photo and be from my area.  I am not sure about Craigslist though.  I am not a fan of that site.

I hadn't mentioned Bella was missing to my hubby for the reason that he simply doesn't care.  My daughter has the same thoughts, though I did mention it to her and got the "she's done this before."  Or, "Someone probably took her in."  Same old crap I always hear, so thought I would save myself the from having to hear it, as it gets old.  However, I was asked where I was tonight and what cat was missing.  They didn't believe she has been gone that long, but who cares what they believe.  I know what is true and do not rely on them for support.

Sweet Bella -- come home and be safe.  May St. Francis stay with you while we are apart.
