This entry is dedicated to our ever-so-special cat
Lily Andrea
Cami and I adopted Lily when she was 2 months old, shortly after we married. She is a spunky, adventurous and often mischievous little kitty. She is playful and quirky but slow to trust strangers. She loves to run around outside stalking anything that moves (and is smaller than her). Sunbathing is how she spends her afternoons and she is extremely affectionate around dinnertime. And she puts up with our antics, although it is clear they annoy her.
That is right, Lily made a run for it. And when Cami tried to catch her, she just thought he was playing and ran off even further. It was late and very dark, so our cat disappeared into the darkness rather quickly (dun, Dun, DUN). I was convinced she would return, but when morning came and there was still no sight of Lily, I began to worry -- we had to checkout of our campsite by 11am.
To our surprise (and the surprise of the campsite hosts) our site was available for Saturday night as well. So Cami and I paid for another night and waited for our kitty to return.

So as you can imagine, we were heartbroken when she bolted from the RV last Friday night. The wilds of Yellowstone were just too much for our headstrong girl to ignore any longer............That is right, Lily made a run for it.

We waited and waited and waited and waited and waited.
Although we were in an incredible national park, we spent the day in our RV, occasionally stepping out to search the acres of nearby forest for Lily. Dinnertime came and went and still no sight of Lily. Around 9:45 Cami went out on one last scouting trip, this was our last chance, we had to leave in the morning.He searched, I prayed. He searched some more, I prayed some more.
After 30 minutes in the woods with no luck, Cami began his return to the RV. As a last ditch effort, he turned on his headlamp, looked into the forest and called for Lily. Suddenly, there was a little green pair of eyes, gleaming in the light. And they weren't afraid of him. Cami called for Lily again and this time an unsure meow responded. Stepping into the forest Cami realized that Lily was still apprehensive. Cami decided to sit on the forest floor, shine the light on himself and continue calling out for our kitty. Slowly but surely the meows grew louder and before he knew it, Lily was in his arms!!!
HE FOUND HER!!!!!!!!!
