Her Parting Shot

Zofia is doing very well in her new home; I hope to share soon more information and maybe some images of her life there.

In the meantime, I must acknowledge a parting gift that she left me; it is so Zofia. A few days before she left the Cosy Apartment, I found her playing with what looked like a little sensor or perhaps a motor of some sort. She was knocking it about on the floor as a toy. I had no idea where it had come from.

Today, I found the gutted remains of a toy. Some months ago, I purchased a stuffed mouse that squeaked when it was touched. I heard that blasted thing chirping at all hours. I eventually sent it with little Miss Zed to her new home… Before her departure, I thought I would buy another, since the first was so enjoyed. This one’s squeaker did not work. I could feel it inside the mouse, which I could not in the first, so I imagine it was disconnected in some way, probably from its creation. In any case, it was not a hit. I found it this morning.

Zo was apparently dissatisfied with its non-operational status and had fun with it as best she could; this evidently meant ripping it apart.

What’s a departure without a parting shot?

  10. Silent as it was already for your benefit, Zofia decided to make sure it could not chirp in the future.
