New Pet "Owner'
Jeanine is gone
   to Colorado
so its me and Halli and Pinka (the cat)
striving to make it through for 10 days.
Yesterday Halli wouldn' eat
and the cat couldn't be found.
Not sure I'm cut out for pet ownership
on the spur of the moment.
This morning the cat came meowing
round the bed.
And Halli ate her fill.
Maybe I'll make it yet.
