Next Sunday Fresh and I will leave Berlin for spending christmas with my family in Holland. Since it’s hard to find someone to take care of our pets at this time of the year, we will take Shanny, our dog with us.
Just like every time we are visiting Holland we are short in time since so many things have to be done before leaving Berlin :s At the beginning of this week I thought I had everything concerning the housekeeping under control. I really hate it coming home in a chaos, so the appartment had to be cleaned, all laundry had to be washed (I am kind of lazy in washing laundry * blush *), christmas shopping had to be done. But now it’s Friday, and when I am looking around I see I must clean again, I am washing the last laundry, need to doo the dishes and after it I need to clean the kitchen, need to buy the last grocaries so I can make some sandwiches for Sunday, we are still wrtiting the last bills for the business so they can be sent to our customers before the end of the year, tonight we have to go to the other side of Berlin so we can give the housekey to someone who will drop by to feed Pugsley, our cat, because we cannot take him with us.
I know, we’ve got tomorrow as well, but we planned to go see Fresh’s family since we’re spending christmas in Holland. So tomorrow is gone as well.  It’s a bit stressy right now, but I think somehow we will manage everything…

Last Saturday Pugsley was annoying us again by going on and off the balcony leaving the door wide open. It turned out he needed to poo. Since I still didn’t refresh his cat-tray, i decided to take him and the dog Shanny out.
I turned away from pugsley for 10 seconds to see what Shanny was doing. When I turned back I couldn’t see Pugsley anymore. I lookde and called him for over 10 minutes, but no Pugsley.
Then it slipped into my mind I need to go check the old oilcellar of our house. From our garden he can easily enter it by crawling through a log. But once he is in he cannot get out again, it’s too deep.
When I opened the shutter of the oilcellar and called him, he answered my call by miaowing terribly pityfull. As I don’t know this cellar I immidiately went up to get Fresh to get out Pugsley. He told me Pugsley was lying on the floor and asked me to come and take a look. Then pugsley took off and decided to hide below the oilcontainer in a very small opening.
We couldn’t drag him out, as Pugsley exactly fitted in the opening. I was able to stroke him, but that was al, he didn’t want to come out. We triedwith calling him and with food as well, but no success.. So we decided to leave him alone for a while and hoped he would get out when he got hungry.

At the end of the afternoon we tried again. Pugsley looked terrible. His nose all wet and he was drewling and shaking. He really needed to get out before the evening as it was predicted the temperature could go down to at least -10 degrees celsius (14 degrees fahrenheit). So Fresh took a stick and tried to poke him out. But instead of coming out Pugsley went into the middle of the opening. So Fresh started poking on his ass verry brutal, and it helped!! Very slowely, bit by bit Pugsley finally came out. He really looked terrible, full of dust and spiderwebs and he smelled after oil. But most important, he was ok!!!

At home he started eating like nothing had happened, washed a bit of the dirt off and then took a nice sleep…

When we cannot find Pugsley we need to check our closet. Took a while before we found out about his new hiding place.
