Kiko and the Cali Girl

Today was the California Girl's birthday and we had a few plans in the works mostly wrapped around the best restaraunt in the area.

All our plans were changed early this morning when I got a phone call from a guy saying he thought he had found our cat, Kiko. Cali Girl made up some flyers when he turned up missing on November 17th and we posted them all over the neighborhood.

I actually didn't have that great a feeling about the call. There are a lot of loose cats running around and a lot of them look pretty much alike. I had already received several false alarms and thought this might be another.
I called the Cali Girl and told her about the call. She said to call if it was him.

It was him and I didn't call. I just showed up and surprised her.

I'm telling you that the Cali Girl has had a few birthdays. But, this one had to be the best ever.

Cali loves her some cats and Kiko is an outstanding one.

Poor little fella probably has had a rough time of it because he's been sleeping since he got back pretty much.

Almost lost in all of this is another important life lesson.

I had been driving around looking for him since he turned up missing. I walked the neighborhoods, checked the pound, helped Cali with the flyers and everything else I could think of.
But, recently, I had given up.


Never give up.

No matter how hard life turns or what your obstacles are and no matter what kind of suckage life becomes, never give up.

Welcome back Kiko and thanks for another lesson.

You never get too old to learn.
