Shoko, did you look in the basement for Elfin John? Yep, not a sign of the little guy. Did you look in the garage, Kali? Sure did, its cold as charity out there. I doubt if he’s hiding in dad’s toolbox…besides we’d have to open it for him with a winch. We’ve looked everywhere. We never looked in the laundry room. Just maybe he’s there. 
No, he’s not here either. Wait Kali, we didn’t look inside the garbage can. I don’t know what he’d be doing in there but we looked under the sink, on top of the washer and dryer….this is the last place. 
OMC!! He’s in here Kali and he looks hurt! NO!! MEW MEW MEW! Relax Kali, we’ll help him. How Shoko…he doesn’t eat, drink or anything?
I’ll bring him out Kali and then we’ll figure out what to do. 
Heths kill ething. What? He kills things? Wot ha winnit…. 
He won? Wait till you put him down Shoko….I can’t understand you. 
Splat! Sorry Elfin. Kali can you lick the blood off Elfin and mom we’ll need you to see if there are any serious injuries. Got the blood off Shoko. Mom says somebody left teeth marks in his chest but otherwise he’s ok. Kali, let’s put him in his sleeping drawer and hope he’ll come out next year. I’ll take him Shoko. 
There you go Elfin. Hope you feel better soon.
It’s Friday”s Fun Filled Fill-Ins day sponsored by Ellen of 15 and Meowing and Annie of McGuffy’s Reader.
1. My guiding word for 2017 is….. FRIENDS. FRIENDS MAKE EVERYTHING EASIER. THE MOUNTAIN BECOMES A MOLE HILL WITH A FRIEND BY YOUR SIDE. 
2. RODENT ROOTER’S CLASS OF 2011 IS HAVING A…..class reunion. I GRADUATED IN 2011 BUT THINK THEY PROVIDED A SECOND RATE COURSE SO I WILL NOT ATTEND THE CLASS REUNION. I STILL HAVE TROUBLE CATCHING A MOUSE. SEE I LOST THE MOUSE IN THIS PICTURE AND I HUNTED A VERY LONG TIME FOR THAT SUCKER. 
3. Truth be told I am superstitious about ….. ANYTHING NEW . IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS TO GET USED TO MY FOUNTAIN AND NOW I ADORE IT. 
4. Lately, I have been…..RATHER INACTIVE.
There you have it our fill-ins for the week. Thank you ladies for such nifty blanks.
SHOKO…..BLACK
KALI…..ORANGE
May you be the swatter instead of the fly. MOL
We must Leave a Purr for Jamieson Day. 
This little fellow left us far too soon but put up a gallant fight for his life.

It’s a good thing you found him, Shoko! Hopefully he’ll heal now that he’s back where he belongs. We agree with all Shoko’s answers on the fill-ins too … yay for friends … not so keen on new stuff … and we’ve been preferring the inactive lifestyle recently as well 🙂

The little guy is not really bad just a little different from others. Cow Kitty seems to do more damage than Elfin John. Kali and I must think about who did this to the wee one.
The Fill-Ins were fun as they always are. Who is active at this time of year, right Bear?

GOSH……something obviously happened to poor Elfin – wonder what it was?! Did he accidentally fall down he garbage disposal and get a bit chewed up before he could get out? Did a big house mouse come in and try to make away with him? I hope you girls can figure it out. At least he’s safe in your Mum’s drawer so he can heal! Great fill-ins too girls……

I wonder what would have happened if we hadn’t found him? I guess mom would have found him when she cleaned out the garbage from the laundry room. That could have been in a few weeks cause the garbage doesn’t pile up in the laundry room.

I’ve often thought of getting Purrseidon and Mr. M a fountain, but Purr has quite a history of playing with water, so I haven’t actually done that.
LikeLike
Kali has a history of playing in water too. Mom got the fountain anyhow. It is a very heavy fountain…pagoda fountain….not the one in the picture. Kali has just splashed water all around the fountain again and mom is going to go back to the stainless steel fountain. She didn’t seem to play in the stainless one as much. So if you do get a fountain, get a light one so Purr can play.

Good advice … we figured that Purr would play in it, and could image wet pawprints everywhere — we have wood floors, so that would be a potential slipping hazard.
LikeLike
The pawprints don’t go far and dry very quickly here. It is a very dry climate here at the best of times but in cold weather, the weather is super dry.

I well remember my winter in Fairbanks, Alaska – at -70 my husband threw out a cup of coffee and it all evaporated before hitting the ground. HOWEVER, here, in Florida, our humidity is a lot higher and those paws can take hours to dry.

Well, its not that dry here or the water in the heated water bowl outside would be gone. You have a point, Florida could see the water on the floor hanging around for a long time.

It is a mystery. I have a couple of ideas but it must be proven right before we can do anything about it. We don’t have any of this Sherlock Holmes stuff but we do have a special investigator coming from England to examine the crime scene.
