I drove my car into the garage after attending church last Sunday. Hobbes bounced over to see me. As I pet him, I could tell something was amiss. Calvin was absent. While trying not to panic,\u00a0 I walked around outside, calling Calvin\u2019s name, but no kitty. I needed warmer clothes on so went back into the house for a heavier coat. After walking around a larger parameter, calling Calvin\u2019s name, but to no avail, I had still to go get even warmer clothes to wear.<\/p>\n

And, I calmly approached Calvin who fully realized it was my voice. Calvin did get lost, and the noises made it difficult to come to my voice.<\/p>\n

After hugging, we came home, me with a very warm heart.<\/p>\n
