Jan 10th - Tiger Escaped Again

After spending most of the day at the seawall and jetty catching some fish for dinner, I came home to the RV and started getting a platter of 3 Whiting and one seatrout ready for the grille.  I had left the door open and the screen door closed but, forgot to close the little sliding cover for the hand hole in the screed door.  Of course, Tiger had been crying immediately upon my return to get out but, I had to rinse the fish again and season them for the grille before getting myself something to eat -- hadn't eaten breakfast and I fished from 8:30 to 2:30 with no snacks (except for bait shrimp lickings from my fingers).

Well, Molly didn't mention that Tiger snuck out the little opening and was free again to roam wherever.  I spent about an hour walking all around and up and down the roads in an ever expanding circle here looking for Tiger and came back once to be sure he hadn't been hiding in the RV somewhere.  My mind went to something a neighbor had mentioned about cayotees being in the area and I thought for sure they would make a big meal of my playful guy, Tiger.

After a few circles around the RVs and checking again under my rig, I passed another camper walking her little doggie and asked if she had seen a black and white cat roaming around.  She said she had not and I returned to look again around my RV and as I neared the front of the rig, the woman said she saw him under the front end of the RV -- and there he was, the little smarty pants.

I thought for sure I had lost my favorite and most enjoyable little companion but, guess he had enough smarts to stay close or was overwhelmed with the surroundings and some of the noises of barking dogs and golf carts or pickem up trucks.  We enjoyed the trout for dinner and I had Tiger out with me to cook them on the grille -- he must have liked the smell too -- fresh fish.
