Harriet - this is a long shot, but DMIL dogs have EATEN two of her hearing aids over the last 4-5 years. She now puts them where they are not accessible to any animal in the house when she takes them out of her ears. Wondering if your DCat would have played with/eaten it.
LO and I delivered a big flowering Mum to DMIL after picking him up from school. She was thrilled.
On our way home I made an Interesting discovery.....there is a slew of construction equipment parked on a piece of land we own........ parked without our permission on our gravel driveway. The equipment is lined up all in a row about 1/4 mile deep inside the gate.
Wonder what they would do if we decided to put a lock on our gate? I'm thinking they would suddenly decide they need to ask the owners permission! I've always been told that possession is 9/10 of the law.....so does that mean we now own a couple million dollars of construction equipment?? 
DH and I discussed how we wanted to handle this and came to an agreement. We are sure his brother told them they could do it (and yes, he probably acted as if it was his land). Some things just aren't worth the hassle. We would have given permission if they had asked - so we are going to ignore it.......for now.Next up - prep/serve supper (bbq brisket sandwiches, chips, pineapple chucks/whip cream/chocolate syrup)
Now I feel better!
