We boarded our 2 fur babies, Brandy and Sir Rascal Newton, yesterday. Hubby and I miss them terribly! Poor hubby, the last time he took a fur baby to the vet and left without them, it was to put our beloved Oreo down. He came home and cried like a baby. We both still tear up when we speak of Oreo. Her pics are in my profile if you'd like to see her. Anyway, I got up at my usual 4AM but didn't have all the doggy rituals to go through. Boy, is this strange and eerie! I think I will always want to have pets around even if in my dotage it's a drawing of a fish or something. I can see me now talking to a volley ball named Wilson...I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George. lol

How's your Sunday? Y'all have a great week!

Awww . I would SO miss my fur baby little Mini-Me if something were to happen to him . I never wake up when he isnt cuddled on my pillow right next to me ....he follows me from room to room all day throughout the house so patiently ... if I go up the stairs five times so does he .... and I can always count on a little furry smiling face staring at me from a corner .

Animals are so wonderful ... he teaches me to be happy every day with what God gave me ... he never fails to stop and smell the orchids ( though he smelled them yesterday too ) , to take a savory bite of cat grass , to sit and luxuriate in the sun when it comes through the window ...
he enjoys being outside SO MUCH ...and he lives joyfully and smiles all day EVERY DAY ... unlike us stoopid HUMANS who WORRY , who DESIRE , who spit on TODAY while we pipe dream about a tomorrow that may never come ... who actually worry about DRESS SIZES lol !!

speaking of which its fashion week ... I don't want to have to admit how many samples I CANT get into ... and how much i need to start RUNNING every day again ....

Beautiful pic, Ava. I have an orchid blooming in my cube at work just like the one on the left in your pic. Mini-me is gorgeous as ever.

Ava, what a beautiful cat! 
I know what you mean.  My daughter is gone for the weekend and she usually sleeps with some of the dogs so this morning when I woke up four heads popped out from under the cover :)  I didn't sleep too good with all of us jockeying for space.  Now I have three of them cuddled up with me.
Speaking of furbabies, it is almost a year since I took my JJ to the vet and was told that he had congestive heart failure.  He put him on medication and told me the goal was to get another year out of him.  I can't stop thinking about that.  J****y baby. 
I just can't stand the thought of my life without him.  He is
11 years old and I got him when he was a baby.  He is the
sweetest, friendliest little guy.  Everyone loves him.  He has
such a good nature.  I am praying the vet was wrong and he has many more years to go.  He seems about the same as he was last year.  He acts like a puppy, especially when he is with the younger guys.
I am so jealous of the cruise.  I have never been on one.  I hate to admit this but in the past I always wanted to go on one because of the food.  Isn't that terrible? 
Have a good Sunday!

I understand.  My fur babies ran me out of bed, snuggling and DH forgot to turn down the heat.  Actually, I had been in there for 9 hrs so it was time to get up.  If I could stay my later at night, I could get up later in the morning. But I do kind of enjoy the house when it is quiet and everyone is asleep.

Have a great trip and fun cruise.  We have one planned but I need to get my passport renewed before we schedule.  You can be an inspiration to me to get it done.

Hi Gina!  I hope you enjoyr the warm weather and your cruise!

We're under a Winter Storm Watch and will be getting 6-10" of snow today and tomorrow - oh fun!

Got a LOT of my stuff moved into Tom's place yesterday.  His brother has this HUGE trailer and with 4 able bodied men, they got most of it here.  I have left a few things at my place until I'm moved out for good. They'll easily fit in the back of my Trailblazer or his truck.  His living room is VERY cozy now.. LOL 

I miss my kitty.  Sometimes I think I see a movement out of the corner of my eyes and think its her, then look and nothings there.

we alway get a kick out of looking for pets when we visit various cruise ports.  For example, European countries are more casual about having pets in restaurants~~ look for dogs sitting quietly under tables.  Last time we were in the Caribbean, we saw posters on one island for an event specializing in FREE dog baths and dips.  Go Figure.

Gina, your LW cruise mission, should you choose to accept it, is to see if they carry protein powders at any of the coffee places on the ship!!!!  You know, "I'll have a cinnamon dolce latte with 2 scoops of protein powder please...."
