Since her first trip outside yesterday morning Lucy has been itching to explore her new territory and has demonstrated escape skills that are worthy of Harry Houdini. She sneaked out of the back door while Kevin was washing the cars yesterday afternoon to take a look around our front garden and those of our neighbours. However, her greatest escape came this morning when we found pawprints on the outside of the bathroom window, leading us to realise she’d escaped through that onto the garage roof! After a bit of searching and tapping of her food bowl with a fork she sauntered back quite happily and I later found her resting up after her big adventure on my piano stool.

Hahahahaha! I love this shot! "Who me????", she is thinking! You keep tabs on Lucy, Helen!! danrav · 2011-02-27: 05:37

Oh, yes she's Houdini ! Very good shot Helen, which glance ! josy63 · 2011-02-27: 05:39

LOL, she looks very satisfied with herself and her new life. Wasichseh · 2011-02-27: 06:51

What a great time she's having but please put a collar with id disc on her just in case she wanders a bit too far from home or gets lost. Lynda · 2011-02-27: 07:15

As long as she finds her way back ... She's probably too smart to run away from her new home. :) ????? · 2011-02-27: 09:18

I can see the wheels in her mind turning, she is biding her time. Her thoughts seem to say "Okay, you have that one figured out, now for a new path. Patience, patience, I will find a way...."I am glad she came back to you. karmankwarner · 2011-02-27: 09:28

There's a new confidence in her eyes. The world is no longer so scary for her. She's making the world her own now! How wonderful! And a great shot! Love how she's calming observing you. Annabelle33 · 2011-02-27: 11:20

I agree with Karman. Lucy has a look that says, "I'm up to something. Just waiting for my next chance." Great story and GREAT photo Helen! liveandletlive · 2011-02-27: 16:10
