Patrol was a complete disaster.  When we left the apartment. Annabelle was ahead of me.  I said to her, wait for Daddy, before I turned to toss the garbage down the chute.  I stepped out of the trash closet, and she was gone!  I walked down the hall and she was nowhere in sight.  Did she go up the stairs or down?
And this began 15-30 minutes of terror/  I called her, and I could hear her answer from somewhere, but I couldn't place whjere the sound came from.  I walked up to five, calling for her.  I rodfe the elevator to each floor, calling for her.  Occasionally she would answer.  Since she has no sense of direction, I though I might find her trying to get intro 5C, 4C, or 2C.
A nice lady from 5B walked down the stairs and called out from each floor, not here.  One of the nice lesbian coup[le of five who owns the cute little dog Nola, helped me look.  When I called her I heard nothing/  I started to panic.  Then this rude young man who lives on four or five and is never friendly came dancing down the steps and out to the street, and I started worrying that he had done something like throw her down the garbage chute, so I ran to the chute and called her name down it.  Nothing.
