Side note: Jannu ran
away from home. Or, I should rephrase that: Jannu ran away to try to find us!
We left her by herself for just an evening (Friday evening) since our friends
who usually watch her were coming back into town the following afternoon. I
happened to look at my phone on Sunday morning and read that somehow our
neighbor has Jannu. After a phone call to figure everything out, Jannu had
escaped to Del Mar Liquor Store, which is close to Highway 1. They picked her
up and called my cell phone but didn't get an answer (cell phone service is
sketchy up at Big Sur), so someone took her to our house but since we weren't
home, they knocked on other neighbors' houses to ask if she belonged to us. It
all worked out in the end, but we are lucky that someone picked her up and
called us.
This is the second time Jannu ran away. When we returned home on
Monday, I noticed the smoke detector was beeping because of a low battery. When
Jannu ran away a couple of years ago when we left her by herself for the first
time, the same thing happened! I think we are not supposed to ever leave her
along! Point taken!
Jannu turned 12 this
year. She has been such a trooper since we had P. She doesn't get nearly the
same attention she used to. She's been very patient with P and a lot more
tolerable than before. It seems we're away from home more so Jannu's left by
herself more. When we travel anywhere even camping, Jannu gets shipped off to
our friends' the Mayotts or to my parents.Even though she's
pretty spry, jumps up and down the furniture with no problems, and plays like
she always has, you can tell she's getting older. She's more sensitive to
noise. She's constantly pitter-pattering and seems a little neurotic.
We still love her more
and more and always are eager to come home to see her. She's always so excited
to see us. P just adores her and even refers to each other as
"sisters". Happy Birthday Jannu Jaybird!
