Friday Night Fish Fry

Deana Heath Clark is the author of a blog named Fri­day Night Fish Fry. It is a light, refresh­ing breezy read. She writes of the anguish of los­ing her cat Dale in her post of August 28, 2007, “Sun­day morn­ing and still no Dale we were very sad. Toonces kept say­ing that it had some­thing to do with him tak­ing her to the creek he just knew it. He and the Thugs went back down to the creek to dou­ble check one more time. As the Labs ran up the field to roll and wres­tle T thought he heard a faint cat cry from the other side of the tiny branch by the creek. As he went towards it he got no answer to yelling “Dale” but could hear the faint cry when he called “kitty, kitty, kitty.” Finally after qui­et­ing the dogs down they found her. She had got­ten off the road at a point that is mowed by deer hunters. She hated the high meadow to get to the creek so she had tried going through the woods and low grass to the creek right on our land. Toonces found her all tan­gled up in vines and weeds and this­tle under some bushes. If she hadn’t cried out he would have never seen her in all that veg­e­ta­tion. And she only knew “kitty,kitty” “Dale” meant noth­ing to her.” The Ris­ing Blog­ger is pleased to award Deena our award for Post of the Day!
