Humum Missing in Action

Humum has been missing for a week. I know it's been a week, because I measure my days by The Dogwalker. The Dogwalker comes once a week. I call this day, Day 1. There are six more days after Day 1 - Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Then it's back to Day 1. Days are measured by 2 Dinners and1 Night-Nights. Dinners 1 happens in the morning, shortly after Humum and The Frenchman wake up, and Dinners 2 in the evening, just before they go into the lounge to sit on The Sofa.  Night-Nights happens when they get off The Sofa and go to The Bedroom, telling me: 'Night-Nights. Go to Edie's Bed'.

Between each dogwalk there are 13 Dinners and 6 Night-Nights. That's how I know Humum has been missing for one week. The last time I saw Humum was last Day 1, when she was giving me Dinners 1 before The Dogwalker came to collect me. By the time The Dogwalker dropped me home, she was gone. I knew something was amiss when it came to Night-Nights and The Frenchman let me join him in The Bed, instead of telling me to go to Edie's bed. 

It's been this way for a whole week now and still there's no sign of Humum.

Don't get me wrong, it's been fun hanging out with The Frenchman. I get taken to The Pub nearly every day and he lets me share his takeaways and beer. But I miss Humum, it's not the same without her. I hope she comes back soon. I'm even starting to miss The Hoover.
