Maybe no mystery at all......................

There's an old house in our neighborhood which has stood empty

and unloved for probably three years.  The other

evening at dusk I was walking Rascal past and happened to glance

over to see a light on in one of the upstairs

windows. I was pretty sure nobody had been there but

maybe I was wrong.  The next evening (earlier) I noticed

that one of the windows in back was standing open.

 

A dear friend, Ben and his wife had lived there happily for

many years and over the years had many pets which

they nurtured and loved but we lost him to cancer about 5 years ago

some other people bought it, tore it up, ruined the lawn

and left it. 

 

A while back a dog appeared there, it was homeless and we

finally captured it and found a good home

for it.  Until that time he hung around that house! and wouldn't leave.

Now there's a cat that lives around the house. 

 

 I'm just thinking - could the two things have anything to do

with each other?       Diane
