Tree Climb

On a Monday I decided to climb one of the pine trees at the old house across the stree,  See the pine tree and 2-story house.  I wasn'too high ny Wendsday when some girls heard me crying Tey knew I was lost because on Tuesday when I wasn't home Mum went to all the houses in our area.  I was only up high enough to be reached with a ladder.  I crawled way out on a limb when the fire department tried to get me.  I was soooo scared of them.  Next this man climbed the tree to where I was so I ran up the tree to its very top.  No one could reach me.  Peoplle kept telling Mum and Dad that I'd come down when I got hungry.  I was already hungry and needed water.  The next night it rained and I licked water off my coat.  I cried and tried and Mum would talk bac.  I still wouldn't come down.  Mum called the town to see if they woul bring the bucket ttruck.  They said "No".  She was going to hire one from the big city, but she leasred they only went up 60 feet, less than half the height where I was.  Mum was hysterical.  She coul hear me cry but couldn't reach me.  She and I both were so scared and upset.  By Saturday it rained again so I had a liilt taste of water. Dad was upset too but tried not to show it.  They were afraid they'd have to put Mum in a hospital.  ByMonday she called a lumberjack.  He came with his worker and ropes and climbed up as he could safely go.  I still couldn't be reached.  It was so tall, but since I weighed so little I could get really high.  He had a long fishing pole to touch me.  I ran down the tree until I was about 30 feet from the ground and I jumped.  It was a miracle that I landed on my feet and took off running.  I came home very thirsty and hungry in about 2 hours.  She was so happy.  She loved and loved on me.  Mum called the vet to come over to check me out.  I was OK.  I slept with Mum and Dad the next 2 nights.  I am really happy to be alive and well.  I'm sticking pretty close to the house, even on the warmer days.  It was Halloween....
