The Hose

by carolynholm

Dear Puffin,
You gave me a HUGE scare this morning!
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
Everything, EVERYTHING, Madame, was dérange. Quelle horror.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Poppy was whining and looking at that bush like there was a small animal in it.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
There was, Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
And then you came running out! I was so shocked to find you outside in the garden!
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
The back door was not properly closed when Madame went out into the garden. An experimental tap by a petit cat, and voilà, the door she is open.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
And out you popped, you rascal.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
Out the door this petit cat found himself. On the wrong side of the door!!!!!
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I guess this was as big a surprise for you as it was for me.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
A surprise, mais oui Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You looked terrified. And ducked right back under the bush. I was worried you would make a dash in the other direction, and end up in that very busy street! I didn’t know how to get you back into the house. I had the door open for you, but you weren’t budging out from under that bush. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
Madame found a way.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I didn’t know you could move that fast.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
The hose, the water, the shower, quelle horror!!! When Madame turned the hose on this petit cat there was only one thing to do.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m really sorry about the hose. I couldn’t think of anything else. I’m glad you ran right back into the house. Thank heavens you are safe!
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame, 
The entire experience will remain a black mark on Madame’s record. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin
