It's A Miracle I Don't Have Gray Hair

My mother is the worst at the whole animal care thing, she has a tendency to impulsively put animals down when she thinks that they need it, and we are not always informed ahead of time. Until the recent cats incident, they did need to be put down, so it was not a shock. She just needs time to work up to it, so one day she will just do it. I have been staying home looking after Sandy the last few days, but this afternoon I decided that I was going to go out for a bit. I came back to check on her, and I could not find her! I was freaking out because my mother was missing as well. Needless to say, Sandy missed me when I left and came upstairs looking for me and then took up residence in the living room. She is not supposed to be in the living room, but my mother did not have the heart to tell her to get out once she made her way upstairs. I was also not expecting her to be upstairs because she has not tried that since the other day, but I have been home, so I suppose there was little reason for her to. There is tileing in front of the door in the living room that she likes because it is cooler than the other floors in the house. So, all is well, but man did I have a few moments of panic there!
