Pat is out of the hospital and has been recuperating at Corbin's house (I called her on Friday to see how she was doing). Today she and Corbin came into work and said she won't be working there anymore. :( Her oxygen is on 5 now and she'd have to drag a bigger one in or bring two tanks (right now she has a backpack for it) and she doesn't need to do that. She also said in a few months she'll be moving to another apartment complex with better care. Aww I'm sad. I do worry about her living alone though. I'll still be able to visit her and maybe go out to eat though. Corbin said she may return home later in the week depending if she still feels weak or not. I'll miss being work/hallway buddies. :( I hope she gets the care she needs though

Snowy is missing! Mom told me Ryan let him outside Monday at 4 AM then at 4:30 went to let him back in..but he never came and has been missing since (she said Cheetah came inside all scared). Mom thinks the local fox got him or chased him and he got away but got lost. The fox might have thought he was a snowshoe hare since he's all white. Mom was REALLY upset. I made signs with her yesterday. I hope he didn't get eaten and someone found him! We've had him 14 years..so sad. The last few times I was at mom's house I was really nervous and anxious about Abby being outside..maybe I sensed the fox or something. I think we're just gonna let the cats out in the afternoon when the predators are sleeping. Poor Snowy :(

I lost one of my books yesterday! I walked home with it and I think I put it on top of the heater thing inside the door of the building when I was getting my keys out. I put my jacket on top of it and must have forgotten to pick the book up when I picked the jacket up. I had found an AWESOME bookmark with a glacier and mountains on it and put it in the book. I put a sign up telling them to return it to me but..anyone could have walked out and took the book with them. I just hope it's someone in the building. I can always get another book..but I realllly wanted that bookmark *sniff*
