Karen’s Search

“You start looking for Rosie. I will take the other kittens back to Growly,” I said to Hannie and Melody.

When I reached the shed, I placed the kittens next to Growly. I made sure the windows were open a crack, so they would have some fresh air. And I made sure the doors were shut tight when I left.

“Sorry about Rosie!” I called to Growly as I raced toward the front yard. “I will not come back until I have found her. That is a promise.”

I found Melody and Hannie searching under the bushes. They were calling, “Ro-zeee! Ro-zeee!”

“Any clues?” I asked.

“Nothing yet,” said Hannie. “But don’t worry, we will find her.”

While they searched the bushes, I looked up in our tree. I remembered how on my worst day ever, Boo-Boo got stuck up there. I climbed up to get him even though I had a broken wrist.

If I did not find Rosie, then this would be the worst day of my life.

I decided to check the mailbox. Maybe she got in there somehow. But it was empty.

“Ro-zee! Ro-zee!” I heard Hannie calling down the street.

She could be anywhere by now, I thought. Maybe a wild animal got her. A raccoon! Maybe she tried to cross the street and did not look both ways! What if I never saw Rosie again?

Then I remembered something. The lid was off the garbage can in the backyard. Maybe Rosie jumped in and could not get out.

I looked inside the garbage can. But it was empty.

I decided to check on the four other kittens. I peeked in the window of the shed. Pokey, Tippy, Ruby, and Bob were curled up against Growly. I wondered if they missed Rosie. I sure did.

Suddenly Hannie was standing next to me. She was out of breath. “I … ran … all the way … down the street, Karen. But I couldn’t find her.”

“And I looked under all the cars on the street,” said Melody. “Where should we look next?”

I glanced around the yard. Everything was still as could be. Until the lilac bush moved.
