I wake up from a terrible dream about me feeding Carne baby food. Maybe that wasnt a dream?
I go into the kitchen to make a coffee and its quiet. Huh. Usually Secco has broken out of his kennel by now.
Maybe the lock actually worked this time. Ill check downstairs.
Secco isnt there.

Completely empty

Completely empty. Where is Secco?
I go to Tiziano and Squalos room. Not there. Doppios room. Hes sleeping like a baby, its really cute. But no Secco. Carnes room..........Thankfully he isnt in there.
The living room has my only clue. A broken flea collar.
"Oh no...." This can only mean one thing. Secco.....ran away. I have to make missing posters!

"Tiziano, Squalo, i need you to go to the craft store and collect everything for missing posters."
"Can we do glitter? And sequins?" Tiziano asked. "Ill only help if I can decorate."
"Sure,whatever. Maybe he has a microchip................Maybe well find him.." A microchip? Am i insane.

The boys return from the store and we make our posters.

"Do we really not have a better picture of him?" Everyone shook their heads

"Do we really not have a better picture of him?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Well, I guess itll work. Im gonna let Rose know about this too, in case she sees him at the park or something."

"OMG. What if hes trying to get back on the bingo boat???" Tiziano actually had something smart to say today.

"I am NOT going back out there. Let him run back to Ciocolatta if thats the case."

We put posters out at the park and around town. Secco come home....

(inspired by the time my cat ran away for 3 months and just came back home)
