Mistress was very busy painting Bubbles was upset Bubbles decided he wanted to see what was there He knew Mistress dd mot like him in that shed. Bubbles thought phooey on her I want to see in here So Buubbles trotted into the messy shed Owey He found a big rat trap with very sticky lining Every movement in trap stuck his paws even worse He dragged that t rap to the door yowling hard Mistress had been looking for him for his lunch She came out and heard the ruckus in the shed Cat yowling loudly bumping into things hissing' She stifled a laugh,. She knew he was in pain. Mistress had her cell phone . She called the Vet She asked how to get him unstuck. He told her hhhot water with cloroox would do it' He said she would have t o put antibiotic cream on then So she carried the loudly hissing Bubbles into the den Hot water and clorox she applied took half an hour He was whimpering and scolding as she worked Clorox stung his sore paws but she was able to Rinse that off but his paws were all bleeding. He had padded paws and walked oddly She had cleared all the doctoring stuff awany She wondered if she should have gone to vet Bubbles limped to the rocker stood there waiting Mistress smiled and sat d down as he tried to jump Shje picked him up and sat him beside her gently He seemed mow less in pan with the cream om "Chum you listen close,that shed now locked. " He purred suddenly and patted her cheek ILt was his way of f saying II:m sorry forgive? Mistress caressed his back and chuckled Two old friends who loved each other no matter what.
