Today is the day!!

:( Crew change is today! The Captain that is on there is suppose to call my Captain at about 8am this morning and let him know what time we have to meet them in Natchez, Mississippi. I will drive UP to Vicksburg, Mis. and pick him up and then we go run the boat down, about a 5 hour ride for me.. I do not mind having to backtrack back down because my Captain is so good to me and has not run me off yet... :D I figure I will be leaving right after that 8am call... NO Leaving at darkthirty this morning!!YEAAAAAA!

I have the girls all set up for my departure and I know I will miss them and they will miss me. Rie does a great job of looking after them, having them spoiled rotten so I know they are in great hands. It makes me sad that I will not be with them Christmas day and I know I will buy them something special when I get back with my Christmas pay..

All of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish all of you good health and joy for the New Year for you and your loved ones.

You have a cool Yule as well and we look forward to hearing of your adventures when you get back. Good to know your fur family is in good hands. :)

I Know That Your Cats Will Miss You On Petmas Day, But The Pet Angels Will Make Sure That Thier Spirits Will Be With You.
But One Day You Will Be Able To Retire And You And Your Cats Will Not Be Parted, The Way The Lucky Found Paradise Hotel Cats And I Are Able To Spend A Lot Of Time Together.
Its Great To Be An Old Retired Geezer!!!

I'm sure cats have no idea what's going on at holiday time, they only react to what their humans are doing!

Have a happy trip, we all miss you around here. :)

Have a wonderful trip!

Have a safe trip, Laura!

Maybe some special fresh fish for your babies when you get back?

HUGS!

Oh how hard it must be to be away from your babies on Christmas. :(
Please, please have a safe trip and have a wonderful Christmas Day. Look forward to hearing about "boat Christmas" when you get back.

You will be missed once again. I wish you a happy trip and a very special Christmas - knowing you will make it special for everyone else.

I'm sorry that you won't be able to spend Christmas with your furkids.:( Have a safe trip and a wonderful Christmas and New Year too.:) We'll miss you around here.

I know your kitties will miss you and you them, but it's good to know they're with a person you trust. :) Have a wonderful trip - I wish you a Merry Christmas with lots of fun, and less work. :D
