I'm sure you are all wondering about the fate of Sluggie. As you can imagine, things have not worked out so well. 5 days after Sluggie became a part of our family, his primary caregiver, Carli, forgot to close the lid on his lovely pink "cage". I came home from lunch to find the cage empty. I looked for a slug trail and could not find it. I'm sure to this date I have a now 6 foot slug living under my stove, just biding time until the first spring rains. There were tears shed, but Carli did claim responsibility for the escape of Sluggie. (By the way, what does it say about us that a slug had to escape from our care??) Eventually, Sluggie became a fond memory, I can still picture him laying in his cage, well like a slug.
You're probably wondering why i bring this up now....well, little miss Carli was drawing pictures and brought this to me.
As I looked at this picture it looked a LOT like Sluggie, but it was probably just a coincidence. As it turns out, it is a picture of Sluggie. Carli proceeded to tell me that we needed to hang this in the front window so that Sluggie would know that we want him to come home... She really misses him and wants to make sure he knows where he lives. I explained to her that he left to go live with his family and maybe someday he would come back to visit.
Now, I'm sure Sluggie and all of his family will return this spring. Maybe we should throw a welcome home party.

Ha,ha,ha!!!! I just want you to know that I hope I don't get a surprise visit from Sluggie when we come to visit. As long as he's in his special cage, I'll be fine.
Have you thought about putting pictures on light poles in your neighborhood?
