Chapter 14 – Boo to You

I was trying, unsuccessfully, to break Boo of needing to go outside the minute Mel walked out the door in the morning which was usually just after 6:00 AM. She’d lie at the foot of our bed and mope while Mel was getting dressed for work and then, as soon as she was gone, she’d want to go out and roam the yard.
It was cold and it was still dark and even a little foggy but here we were, yet again, outside. “You have a fur coat; of course you don’t mind that it’s chilly out here,” I said to her. She didn’t even bother to look back at me. Instead, she scampered into the back yard and then went on a diagonal bee line toward the barn behind Kris’s house next door.
“Boo! Get back here! You stay away from those cats!”
