Pigeon and the great outdoors

       My cat Pigeon spends a lot of time outside when the weather is good.

       We have an acre and a half of land here, and she has explored it all quite thoroughly.

       When I am outside too, she joins me.   Sometimes I think she worries that I’ll get into trouble if she doesn’t look after me because she is always near by.

       When Pigeon is ready to come inside, she stares me down from the porch through picture window.   She goes in and out so many times during the course of a day, that I sometimes loose track of just exactly where she is.   Sometimes I’ll call her, to get her back inside, and she’ll walk into the greatroom with an expression on her face that says “What’s the matter with you ?- I WAS inside already!”
