Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words re: the reappearance of the bould Ju Ju! I scooped her up and hugged her for about ten minutes when I came downstairs, and I must confess that I did indeed weep with joy at the sight of my fluffy pal. I had spent the night before imagining her trapped somewhere, confused and terrified, and the thought was just heart-breaking. But the fat simpleton is fine, although I do hope she hasn't adopted some other family who think she's a stray (a remarkably fat , fluffy, clean stray, but still).

Huzzah for Ju Ju!
