So you’re probably wondering where I’ve been, since I sure haven’t been writing much. Well you’ll never believe it, but I was abducted by aliens! Yes, it’s true!
It happened one late afternoon, as I made my way through the kitchen to see if Those Two had refilled my food dish. The first sign that something was amiss was the oven. There was nothing in it, yet there seemed to be some strange energy emanating from it, a sort of powerful, low-frequency vibration. I puzzled over it for a minute, then moved on.
As I passed the dishwasher, a strange green light caught my tail, and suddenly I was sucked out of the house and into a strange flying machine piloted by two tiny, neon-green creatures who spoke only gibberish. I was freaked out!
I was hiding under a seat when a third crew member emerged from the lavatory, shaking some slime off its three-fingered hands. It sat down across from me and gained my trust by feeding me some treats (I can’t resist those under any circumstances!). Then, with the help of Google Translate, it began asking me questions about Those Two and my life with them. The creature occasionally prodded me and took measurements with a complex-looking instrument. This went on for what seemed like hours, if not days.
At some point I must have lost consciousness, and the next thing I knew, I awoke in bed, tucked between Mama G’s legs. Whoa, could that have just been a weird dream? And then I saw the dab of green slime on my right paw.
Oxbow's World 
Dear Mr. Oxbow,
Wow what an adventure you had! This world is so full of challenges right now, that aliens will have to make themselves known to help get this planet in shape for a “new normaL”. Everywhere we look, the old structures and ways of being are crumbling. You, my dear Mr. Oxbow, were selected to be honored with a visit and abduction by aliens to assess and probably glean some wisdom from you, as an astute observer of earthlings and wildlife on planet Earth.
