Miss Lily Whiskers is very, very chuffed. You may remember that in July
when I was packing a parcel to send to my brother in Afghanistan, Miss
Lily Whiskers dropped her favourite yellow furry mousie in the box that
was being packed. Every time I took it out, she put it back in, so I
eventually just left it there and sent it to Afghanistan with a note
that said,
"Dear daddy, please bring my yellow mowsie home safely, love Lily".
Well, this evening while cuddling his baby girl, Jay suddenly produced
the yellow mowsie. Apparently, it has been all over Afghanistan in his
pocket, and today Lily got it back. She hasn't stopped playing with it
and she is currently curled up asleep with it. Everywhere she goes,
yellow mowsie goes too.
Lily is happy her dad is home safe, as am I. :o)

Awwies! That's so sweet... I'm sure Jay appreciated his little
reminder of 'home' :)

What a considerate kitty. Knowing that yellow furry mousies are not
found in Afghanistan, she sent one to her sent her only one to her
daddy.

What a lovely tale. I will tell the gang at home, although the only one
who really appreciates toys is Bear, the d*g.

I do remember that story. I thought it was the cutest thing.
That's a *very* special yellow mousie. First, it was Lily's favorite toy.
Then, it was a lucky talisman for Jay - and, I'm sure, a sweet reminder
of home. And now it's back with its rightful owner, to her great delight.
Not only does she get her favorite toy back, but now it smells like daddy!
Glad everyone (including the inanimate as well as the living) is back
where they belong! :)

I was thinking the same thing!! Except I couldn't remember the name of
the collection, so I didn't post. It certainly belongs in some sort of
published animal stories collection.

If that is not a cute story, I don't know what is.
Nice to hear nothing happened in Afghanistan.
