VIRTUAL ADVENTURE: Willy's & Annie's Wild Christmas 2006

While inadvertantly contributing to LOTS of confusion, mistrust, distress, and worry about his sudden "disappearance" on December 23rd, Willy "showed up" on my doorstep that afternoon:

He had shipped HIMSELF to my own Little Orphan Annie for Christmas, and was hoping to surprise her.

He was VERY distressed to learn that Annie was not here! That, combined with his severe case of jet lag from the trip, led him to promptly fall asleep on the back of the recliner in my living room:

Annie, in the meantime, was on her way to Canada to see her beloved Willy! Her flight was delayed in Denver, and she sent me this picture of her at the airport there to reassure me that she was OK, and to tell me where she was headed:

It turns out that she had shipped herself to HIS house in Canada, as her gift to him! She sent me this picture, taken from the airplane after it took off, to let me know that she was in the air and there was nothing I could do to stop her from going to visit her dear, sweet, beloved Willy:

I was so upset with her for leaving without telling me, that I decided not to inform her that her dear, sweet, beloved Willy would not be there when she got there!

ON TOP OF ALL THIS, MY SLEEPING BAG WAS MISSING! :mad:

Once Willy was rested up enough, he and Shadow and Dottie decided to "help" me wrap Christmas presents:

Then he layed down beside Dottie, and looked up at me with those innocent eyes of his:

He said THIS was how he had hoped to present himself to his dear, sweet
Annie:

MORE PICTURES TO COME AS THE STORY UNFOLDS..................

I can't see the pictures.

I can see them OK on the thread. Is anyone else having trouble seeing the pictures? :confused: Maybe this is an idea that just wasn't meant to be. :(

I see them just fine, Deb. And I love the little soap opera. OH, the suspense!

Pat

I see them just fine...and am breathless for what happens next!

This is just too cute! I'm loving the story.

Paul Harvey wants the rest of the story! So do I!

And who should show up on my doorstep.........ANNIE!!!!!

I was like, "OMG!!!!! What are you doing here sweetie?" She said she came to see Willy and I just didn't have the heart to tell right then, that Willy was not here.

She jumped up on the table and asked Nugget, Chipper and Poppy if they have seen Willy. They all said, "No, we haven't seen the brat all day."

But Chipper told Annie how good she smelled.
(Oh, I hope this doesn't get back to Willy.)

Annie went into my sons room and all she saw was the gray fur and thinking she had found her Willy, jumped up on the bed. She was so sad when she realized it was only Sades. Look at that pitiful face.

It was so heartbreaking to see her searching for her Willy that I knew I would eventually have to tell her he wasn't here.
When she was alone with Nugget, I decided then to let her know and her response was, "WWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!" "What am I going to do now????"

:eek: WOW! some of those are RE :eek: ALLY good. :D

Poor Annie! She had a great time planned and it went down the tubes! WHAT is she going to do NOW? :eek: How long will she stay?

Oh Annie, sweetie! To have gone all that way! My heart is breaking for her! :(

It's not anything wrong with my computer. It's just that Photobucket is blocked on my computer. I would be able to see them if they were posted from Imagestation. And I don't think virtual adventures were a bad idea. :)

You know the expression Annie...when the cats away....

That Chipper looks kinda cute.... ;) :D ;)

Annie what do you think of Chipper? Aren't there enough handsome boys over there?

And Willy- it looks as if wrapping presents was fun even without Annie.

What a suspense in this story ;)

Do you think something might happen between Willy and Dottie??? Oh those boys....

Oh dear, what are those two star crossed lovers going to do? I hope one of them remains in place and waits for the other to return home!

Wonderful pictures and story. I can't wait to find out what happens next.:)

The Found Cat Meezers are all waiting to hear if those Lovers do eventually meet up?
Please continue the Story!!!

I had to go to work today, so was gone all day. When I got home, this was how I found our poor, poor lovesick Willy:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...sing-annie.jpg

He is missing Annie so-o-o-o-o-o much! He was just laying there on my bed, staring off into space! :(

By the way, Lorraine, has the missing sleeping bag showed up at your house yet? :confused: Annie just LOVES sleeping on it and/or in it, and I was SO hoping that she would have it with her! It disappeared at the same time that Annie did, so I just assumed that she took it with her.............

This is so cute. Waiting for the rest of this adventure:)

Yes Deb it's here. Annie said that she doesn't leave home without it.
Look at my poor widdle lovesick Willy. :(

In fact, I have one lovesick little girl here missing her Willy-Poo. She just went and crawled into her sleeping bag after I told her that Willy was not here, but actually over at her house.

I will try and make her visit the next few days as enjoyable as I can. I will even see if I can get the boys to help me. I have a feeling that Chipper will be more than willing to help on this one. He seems to be a little smitten by Annie.

As I suspected!!!

Will Annie fall for Chipper?
Stay tuned ;)

Willy felt much better this morning. He must be over his "blues" because he ate a hearty breakfast with baby Dottie:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...dottie--wi.jpg

He must have told a funny joke to Angel while the two of them were in the closet together, because LOOK AT THE WAY HE'S WINKING AT ANGEL! :eek: :D
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...lly--angel.jpg

Willy is DEFINITELY a lady's man. He and Shadow were giving each other the "cold shoulder" on the back of the sofa today:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...dow--Willy.jpg

And he brought out a picture from his airplane trip, to show me what they fed him for a snack on his flight:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...n-flight-1.jpg

I THINK he's hoping I'll "take the hint" and give him some Whiska's Temptations treats while he's here visiting! :rolleyes:

It looks like Willy is settling in nicely.:) Did he let you know how long he plans to stay?

Looks like a BIG hint to me.... maybe he even wants a few now?

I wonder if hes staying long enough to get the Pet Angel Shuttle to the Pet Angels New Years Eve Party at the Waldorf Astoria Sunday.
That way he and Annie will hit the Big Apple and paint the town red.
That will be a Great Night for those Wonderful Cat Companions.

Annie was still feeling a little sad about missing her Willy. So Mooky tried to make her feel better by offering his favorite toy.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...9/eb678365.jpg

Annie just turned away from him and went and sat on the cat tree.
Mooky jumped up with another toy to see if he can get her interested in it, but she just layed down on it. Mooky was just at a loss for words. Oh well, at least he tried.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Sorry to interrupt this thread, (I would PM this if I could) but is that Willy's face in the corner of this picture, inside the red circle I made?

N-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-o-o-o-o-o-o that's NOT Willy's face, because Willy is still HERE! ;) :D I didn't even see that 'til you pointed it out, though. It must be one of Willy's siblings, or maybe Annie has figured out a way to make her thoughts be seen! ;) :D :) :rolleyes: :)

OMG, Lorraine! Willy ISN'T here! :eek: I just went and looked all over for him, and couldn't find him! I took those pictures of him this morning before I had to go to work at noon. I didn't even think to look for him when I got home from work this evening! I just came to the computer and posted the update with the pictures, and didn't notice that he isn't here until I saw his face under the cat tree in that picture that you posted! Then I was sure that it was just Annie's imagination at work, in a mysterious way. Could you double check there for him, and see if you can find him? Has Annie met up with him yet at your house? OMG, she's going to be S-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O happy to see him!

Are you serious Deb!!!!! Hang on a minute. All my boys are accounted for but I hear someone in the litter box in my room. I'll be back............
OMG!!!!! Willy is here!!!!!! He's back!!!!! It was him in the litter box.
He said he just had to go potty before he surprised Annie. That WAS him on the tree. He said he couldn't take seeing that picture of Chipper with his Annie, so he high-tailed it out of your home to get back here as fast as he could.

Okay, we are going to go and see Annie now. :)

Deb, I think your Annie is on her way back home. She must have slipped out when Willy was in the litter box. We can't find her or her sleeping bag anywhere. :( I guess she was missing Willy so much that she decided to leave in hopes to see Willy at her house. I guess these two were just not meant to meet each other just yet.

Poor, poor Willy is so sad that he missed seeing his Annie AGAIN!!

So close and yet so far.

He said he was just too tired to deal with Chipper tonight, but he will have words with him tomorrow. :eek:

Good catch, JALB! :D We were wondering how long it would take someone to spot Willy there, and it sure didn't take you long at all! :D

Poor, poor Willy and Annie! :( They haven't managed to meet up yet, but who knows what might happen to Annie as she travels home? And will the sleeping bag make it home with her? Stay tuned for more...................

Oh, oh, oh..it is like Doctor Zhivago...when Dr Z sees Lara, but she doesn't see him....

Look Annie! Look! Can't you see Willy there????? Please???

OOOhhhh I have to tell you that the older I get the less I can stand stories that have no happy end.
They missed each other again- that may be too much suspense for me;)

I was hoping that this adventure would have a happy ending and that the 2 lovebirds would finally meet face to face.

Annie hasn't arrived here at home yet, but I suppose her plane has been delayed due to the weather.

BUT THE SLEEPING BAG HAS BEEN SPOTTED SOMEWHERE WAY OFF COURSE, WHERE IT WAS IN A BAGGAGE CAR WAITING TO BE LOADED ONTO ANOTHER PLANE!
