Drama at No 5; got out of bed, Doudou & Caru nowhere to be seen, palpitations, not in either of the 2 boxes and they haven't returned behind the cooker, I shout for Doudou who eventually appears but I didn't notice whether she came in from outside or from the bedroom. She goes out, I patiently follow her, she's sniffing everywhere, strolling, sitting; I fear she's looking for Caru but lost the scent in the rain; patience, she wanders farther afield, only find her toilet I've noticed her using lately in a trough in a neighbour's garden, I start to walk back to the house sensing a false trail, she follows me resting at my feet. I'm beginning to think I've lost Caru forever after a brief lifespan of 3 days, when she gets up, I don't want to lose sight of her, she heads for my bedroom, where is she? I discover her in a little niche she's found behind an old telly where I've laid out buttonless clothes waiting to be repaired, it's dark, but I can make out Caru, as Doudou finds a comfortable position to give her succour. She wasn't looking for a wider box with more room to move, there's less space where she is now, rather, a little cosy niche hidden from the wider world, her little comfort spot that she carried her baby to during the night. All is well with the world as I leave them to it.
