erastesETA: Just heard back from the local paper - they want me to ring them and tell them about Lucius and his mysterious journeys!
Lucius the Wanderer is back. Again.
Three months almost the day, I think... *checks* 25th July it was when he came back last, and he stayed 2 weeks. He's in beautiful condition, if a little too light, and very hungry. He hasn't even got a flea dirt on him, so it's clear he's not living rough because someone is obviously treating him. God it's good to see him. I even had a feeling yesterday that he'd be back today -or perhaps it was because he knew I wanted him back today that he came back today. He won't stay, and the balance in the house is disturbed all over again, but still nice to see him.
I know how unlikely it sounds, even to myself. I've been fooled by so many stupid sock puppet stories. What I think I'll do is write to the local paper - it's a "local interest" story which they might like - and it would be good to know who else is fostering him. I will definitely get a collar this time - with one of those little barrels with my phone number and a tiny message in it - at least then someone can ring me and tell me he's safe. There's never going to be a way I can force him to stay- although I really wish he would. He's stuffed his face, and now he's in his basket. I can never face putting his basket away, just in case "today" is the day he comes home. I do wish he'd stay.
Severus is, of course, upset again. It's really not fair.
True Blood. Aww Billy-Bob the Vampire is such a gennleman caller! *squishes him*
Only a few sporks today.Tired, and I think I can see the end of it.
- they are sitting in a lighted room in a busy street in the dark. They kiss. They embrace. THEN they shut the curtains. er. No. 17th century remember?
- if he strips off down to his under-breeches, hose and shirt, he can't be wearing his ordinary breeches when he wakes up.
- What, pray, is a "half-wounded adversary"?

Date: 2008-10-29 05:29 pm (UTC)The only trouble with chipping is that although the rescue charities scan new arrivals automatically when they find strays, at the moment vets DON'T. I started at my vet for example and they never chipped any of my new animals to check they really belonged to me.
So unless someone reports him as a stray, which it seems they haven't because he's so well cared for, he is unlikely to be scanned for a chip. Plus I feel a bit wary about spending the money when he's going to swan off in 2 weeks. it's not like I can force him to stay here without locking him in and thatwouldn't be fair on Sevvie.
