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.
