Friends Old and New

September 9, 2007: My friend is missing! I went out this morning and noticed that my spider friend was gone. She had been living above my favorite bush for almost a month. I wonder where she went? Maybe she will build a new web nearby. It's too bad that she left today because when my leader came home from church, there was a huge (!) bug caught in her web. I stood on my back legs so I could get a good look at the buzzing bug trapped in the sticky web. Since the spider was gone, there was no reason to let the poor purple creature lay there, so my leader cut it free. I made another friend last night. She was the mother of my leader's mate, and guess what? She went to visit Sophie, my doggy friend in Dallas!
