Gone Forever!

There I was Thursday night with my sweet Cody-boo on my lap. He was content...for the most part. No, seriously he was content. He has moments of contentment, usually short and usually after being feed. :)

Anyway, I needed to do some things on my computer so I had it on the side of the overstuffed chair. Picture it...laptop is on the arm of the chair, Cody is on my lap, and one hand of mine was free to "type/scroll" as best I could with one hand. I also had my debit card on the laptop just in case I found something I wanted to buy online, after all Mom's day is around the corner. All of a sudden out of nowhere Cody freaked out and wanted down. I tried to convince him that staying up on my lap was really not the worst thing in the world. However, he wasn't convinced and proceeded to flip out. I finally let him down on the floor. I looked around and my debit card was gone. Okay, not a problem it probably fell to the floor or worse case scenario is in the chair. It'll be easy to find, I assumed. Umm, nope, not easy. After looking for a few minutes for the card I then checked Piper. She wasn't anywhere too close at the time so I didn't think she stole it. I know that might sound farfetched, a cat stealing a debit card, but cats are unique. Unique little pains at times....I mean that in the nicest most loving way possible! :)  She is a thief. A super cute thief, but still a thief. There have been a few nights we have gone chasing our cat through the house because she has one of our wedding rings in her mouth. Yes, she's snatched a wedding ring and taken off before. See what I mean...cats are unique little pains! :)

Back to my most recent story, I kept looking and looking and looking for the card. Every light near the chair was on. I had a couple flashlights out too. I had been looking for quite some time, when Brad arrived home at about midnight from tennis. As he rounded the corner to walk into our living room spotting his wife with the big overstuffed chair tipped upside down. His response was fast, "Oh my gosh babe, how did you do that by yourself? And why is the chair like that?"

The two of us continued to look for awhile longer. Eventually deciding the card is gone forever. Yesterday I went to get a temporary card and order a replacement. The entire way there I was thinking of how I was going to explain my dog freaked out, the card was nearby which came up missing in the process. Much to my surprise when I simply stated to the woman at the bank, "I know it's hard to believe but my card is lost in our chair at home". Her response, "It happens all the time!"

And the question of the day, week, month, maybe even the year....will my debit card ever be found? During the search of the chair I found hair ties, bottle caps, and ink pens. Hmm, were those naturally lost or helped to a new location by a certain little thing named Piper? Since all those items were found UNDER the chair, I think we know.
