News from the Free Range and the middle of the night

[Lizbit]

My girls next door have a new baby brother! Not a chicken baby, but a real human tiny person with two legs instead of four. I've only seen him through the fence, but he looks like he could use a good body guard like me, too. I will be keeping a close eye on him. I am hoping that he won't have to go away to a farm for becoming a boy like Lucille did when she grew into a rooster. My mom says there are different rules for human babies, so I'm keeping my toes crossed.

Closer to home, I'm still missing BeBe a lot. My mom is nice, but she is a terrible tug-of-war player. She says we will get a new dog or puppy when we find the right one, but that may not be for another month or two. I found a picture I liked of a dog who was living at the pound. His name was Marley, just like my BFF Mr. Marley from this board! But, he got himself adopted in a couple of days, before I could get my mom out there.

Late at night is when I think about BeBe the most. I remain particularly impressed by her noteworthy ninja skills, and I'm sorry she didn't teach them to me. As you may remember, she could make herself invisible at night, and she could move around inside or out without making any sound whatsoever. She could do another amazing thing that I might never have mentioned. She could climb or jump on the bed without anybody noticing. The mattress didn't even quiver. Since this usually happened at night when she was invisible and silent, I don't know whether she slithered up like a snake or floated in the air and drifted down like a feather. (My mom says that when I get on the bed, it's more like a bowling ball in search of a ten-pin.)

Anyway, sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night, and it's so dark I can't see anything. No matter how hard I concentrate on careful listening, I can't hear anything but silence. That makes me think, "Hey, there's BeBe! She must be checking to make sure we're okay." That makes me feel better.

It is so great that silence reminds you of someone special. I felt that one of my gone-to-the-Rainbow-Bridge friends was just in the next room for quite a while and that made me feel better.

Keep being the bowling ball. Your mom needs that.

I'm sorry you couldn't get four-footed Marley to come home with you. I hope your mom finds another tug-of-war partner for you, real soon!

[T_Bone0806]

I am sure that your Mom is just waiting to find the PERFECT fren for you, dear Lizbit, because you are special and deserve only the BEST!

Congratulations to the fambly next door on the tiny new addition! That's wonderful! I hope he needs a playmate, not a bodyguard, when he gets bigger.

I miss BeBe too, and I think you have a wonderful way of thinking about her. I'm so glad I got to meet her and must have said a thousand times, "You're so beautiful!"

Thinking about you and BeBe made me think of Sunchine again, and I'm glad it's so easy to find. Still smiling . . .
