Thread: Where is it hiding?

As it is only DH and puppy living with me, we have looked and looked and looked. Can anyone suggest where this tea cup pincushion could have hidden?!? Suggestions wanted!

This happens every day at our house. Once I lost a watch for over a year. Turns out I had it in my hand when I put some laundry away and left it in the bottom of the drawer. Then there was the time I cleaned out another drawer and found 3 $100 bills I had tucked away and forgotten. Finding money would be nicer than the pin cushion.......!

I might misplace $3.00 but not $300!

Ok, what works for me is retracing my steps. Just think where you went after you opened the door. Maybe, like me, it was the bathroom. Ha, ha! Good Luck!

Think like a puppy! Having a puppy in the house, that's where I would put my money. You may have to go back to what your puppy was doing when you lost it? What were it's interests? It's favorite place? You probably were ignoring him heartlessly (doing dishes, folding clothes-- perhaps even telling him harshly to get off your clean panties-- and the puppy, w/o even knowing what he was really doing, hid something. Good luck!
