It
took a life changing event…
To take
the wind out of the sails of my writing…
It’s
taken another event…
To write
today.
The
other night…
As I
lay in my bed, solo now…
Listening
to all the noises outside in the jungle…
And all
the ‘house settling‘ noises…
I
prayed for protection for me, my house and my land.
Funny
how when I wasn’t alone, I heard nada…
But
now that I am alone, I have ears like a deer.
So
there I was sleeping…
When—huh!
Something
was walking around my house!
Lord!
I
got up…
Grabbed
my bullhorn…
Yes,
bullhorn because if there ever was an intruder…
I’d
scare the crap out of him by blaring the siren…
(take
THAT you mother@#$er^ you!)
After
peeping out all doors and windows…
I
saw nothing alarming.
And
then I walked into my bedroom…
AAAHHHHHH!!!
My
heart did a THUNK…
Because
out on the patio…
Was
a large breed beagle and a black cat…
Staring
back at me into my dark bedroom.
After
the three of us stared at each other a while…
The
dog and cat touched noses…
And
then the dog left.
The
cat? It stayed.
By
morning it was still there…
And she
followed outside to wherever I went in the house.
Finally,
I took a shower when…
AAAHHHHHH!!!
The
cat was now in the shower with me!
It
had figured out how to open the screen door.
And
there you have it, I mean, her…
I’ve
named her Indie, short for India , short for India Ink.
So?
Was it mere coincidence these two showed up?
Did the dog bring the cat?
Is she an answer to my prayers?
What do you think?
For now…
This may be all the writing I can muster for a while.
Unless that is…
A jaguar or cougar show up on my porch…
And I’ll have to write about that too.
Always, Em-Musing

I think the dog was an angel and brought India to you.
Good to hear from you, Leigh. We've missed you.
Aww...what a sweet story. Definitely NOT a coincidence. :)
What a wonderful story. I believe India has been sent to help you.
You have been blessed. I love your kitty. And I love that she's with you now.
I hope you're feeling a little better.
cats are good friends and black cats are the best :)
LOL, I'd totally jump out of my skin if I saw that in the middle of the night. I had a cat adopt me in a similar fashion, only it wasn't a dog bringing him to me ;)
No such thing as coincidence. And hey, whatever it takes. Hang in there.
I hope a jaguar never shows up at my door. I would never leave the house if that was the case.
What a pretty cat. I think it more than likely wanted food. I honestly wouldn't attribute any supernatural force to this.
Pets are wonderful company. Although it won't fill your loneliness completely, they are angels in their own right.
Don't listen to unbelievers! That kitty was an answer to prayers.
How special to have the friendly little eyes come visit you during these hard times. Yes, they have a message of serenity and love. So cool.
A cat can be a great companion. Perhaps the dog knew the cat needed a home, and you needed a pet. Perhaps the touching of noses was like a high-five for humans?
Who told the dog? Does it matter? I love the name Indie!
