I'm back. They found me out at the Bed and Biscuit. That is, maybe they found me out. Nobody yelled at me or anything, but after I posted last week, they started locking the door of the office that had the computer I used, and sometimes I thought a couple of the vet techs were looking at me funny, but maybe they just liked looking at me. It's hard to tell.

Anyway, my mom finally came to get us, so I have my laptop back. I'm going to go see if I can still play yesterday's questions.
