Dear Diary, We insiders are all rather subdued. There are only six of us now. It's fairly obvious to us that Morgan Child is not coming back. The humans put her in a travel box several days ago and then my lady's man took Morgan out with him. He has not returned nor has Morgan. Mellow spent two days searching the house for her friend as she was sleeping when Morgan was put in the box. Don't understand the subdued atmosphere around here now. I mean she was a real bother. Always hissing at everyone. And for several weeks she had been hogging my night time sleeping spot next to my lady. I say good riddance. Whatever Alabama is, it can't be that bad. My lady would not have let her man go there, nor would she have let Morgan go, if it were a bad thing. My lady liked Morgan, but then she's a human and there's no accounting for a human's taste.

The photo is of me at the blogging machine. My lady left it vacant, which she's been doing more often lately. With any luck, I should be able to sneak more time writing my journals now. Somehow I've got to get her to turn that screen a bit though. It's too far away from my good eye. Well, I'm off to see what kind of trouble I can get into today. Have to locate a new cat to chase now that Morgan's out of the picture. That's the only thing about her that I'm going to miss.
