Howdy! Howdy!

[Laura's Babies]

Hay friends!! I am back home again at last! Sitting here trying to catch up on PT with Samantha in my lap and loving being back with my sweeties! We got off in good ole Baton Rouge and my Captian brought me home. Rie was here waiting for me since I had called her and told her I was on my way home and she had opened the window facing the parking area.

When we pulled up, Beautiful Giz was sitting on the perch at the window and soon as she heard my voice, she started getting very verbal. The conversation went like this....

Rie (from inside the house yells) "She knows it's you Mama, soon as she saw you she started crying!"

I said, "Yes, she knows her Mama is HOME!"

Captain, "That cat don't know who you are!"

Me, "Yes she does, she knows who I am!"

Him, "No she don't!"

Me, "yes she does, she knows her Mama is HOME!"..

Him... (Rolling his eyes) And just HOW does she know that?"

Me, "Well, Rie told them today that I was coming home!!"

Him... BIG ROLLED EYES NOW! :rolleyes:

Giz in the meantime is "MEOWING", louder and louder. As we walked by the window he heard how loud she was and I was talking to her and looked at him and asked... "NOW, do you believe she knows WHO I am?!!!"

Him, very faintly... "yes"

I have had wonderful greetings from all of them, each coming for their turn for hugs and kisses. GOSH! I MISS them when I am gone and for some reason, I missed them even more than usual this time...

I am catching up here, trying to find out what happened while I was gone. lvpets, I got your PM and will respond when I get more time but CONGRATULATIONS on adopting your special little sweetheart, your baby will teach you a lot of things and you will experience so much with having a CH baby. You will not regret making her your own. I am sure you will adore her as much as I adore my sweet Amy.

I can't WAIT to see the iddy biddy babies Kevlin has... What do ya'll think? Should I take a few off of his hands and help out the 4 weeks I am home? (Mike is home too and said he would help do what he could...) What do you think? If MY babies are all up to date on all their shots, is there anything these wee ones could bring in here that would harm mine?

GLAD to be back. Great to see you all carried on fine without me... now.... on to catch up more....

Mom I need your help we are down to 4 now....... What is going wrong?

[Bengalz]

Welcome back Laura :) Better get those baby blankets fluffed up cuz you're gonna have your hands full of little teeny furballs :D

I loved your "Captain" story - maybe he needs a cute little kitten :p What do you think? Those big tough guys make the best cat daddies .....

It sure is nice to have you home :)

Hugs,
Betty

Hi Laura! I'm so glad to see you back safe and sound! Sounds like your babies are happy you are home too.

I've had a lot happen since you've been gone. I had surgery two weeks ago and last Friday I found three kittens in my backyard so now we are 'fostering' some 5 week old babies. Busy, busy.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Welcome back Laura.:)

[CultureJunky]

Welcome Back Laura! Jack Sunny and I have missed your posts and pictures of your wonderful fur kids, hope you had a good time away, but no doubt you're back where you belong with your babies!

oh I was just thinking...maybe a kitten for on board the boat could be a good thing. he/she will provide much company for you and/or others,help catch any "critters" that should not be onboard (mice :eek: ),eat up any leftovers, gee ,...there is so many things that they could "help" you all with....especially missing your own cat family. I think it sounds like a good idea...if only the captain will agree :)

PS: maybe then he will agree that they are alot more intelligent than he thinks they are now :eek:

[Killearn Kitties]

What a great welcome back you got! That must have made you very happy.
Nice to "see" you. :D

[Dorothy39]

Welcome Home!!!!

It's good to see your Posts again!!!! ;)

[sirrahbed]

Hey Laura!! :)

I am soooo happy to see that you are home - it always feels so good to read that you are back at home again - each time!

I loved the story of the captain and of your babies greeting you. Of course they know who you are. I just got the biggest smile reading this and seeing/hearing it in my mind's eye :D

(((((LAURA))))))

[Laura's Babies]

WOW! Looks like this is the best homecoming ever! So many welcome backs! Thank you all for the warm homecoming! I will get pictures soon as I open my luggage and get the camera out.... so far, the luggage was just dumped on my bedroom floor (unopened) and I haven't even thought about getting stuff out of them yet..

I woke up this morning with Samantha laying on me purring, Amy and Giz we close by laying on the floor, waiting for me to get up. I LOVE the first morning back and waking up with them... There is no way I can describe that feeling, warm, cozy, wonderful, HOME, sheer happiness? Just to mention a few....

Welcome home, Laura. You are always missed during those 28 days you are gone, by us, and obviously, your babies, too! :)

Someone mentioned having a cat on the boat. Laura, you probably don't know this story, but years ago, in 1984, I had been at the beach with my family and was headed back to NC to go back to work, and I stopped to buy some seafood at a local seafood market to take home with me. There was this precious little black and white kitten, and of course, I ended up taking her with me. She was eating a jelly doughnut when I saw her and the guys at the market said that she had been dumped there, along with a sibling, a week or so before. They actually took her out on the shrimp boat with them, every day! Therefore, I named her "Shrimp Boat"!! :D I always thought that those big tough shrimpers were heroes to take such good care of a tiny little girl like that.

Great to hear from you again, Laura! It's just not the same around here when you're away. Tummy rubs to your furkids from me.....

[Laura's Babies]

I forgot to mention I really, really appreciate the ones who have put links into their response for the things I have missed.. It just makes catching up so much easier! There is just to much to look at when it is 28 days worth that you just have to miss so much! THANKS!!!
