I got off yesterday and made it home again. All the babies were so glad to see me. Silly Giz met me at the door greeting me with "MEOOOOOOOW" and flopping on her back to show me her beautiful tummy. Amy was on the sofa taking a nap and sleepily looked at me and said "MEEEEOW!". Samantha couldn't wait for me to sit down so she could get in my lap..
Things with Kitty Boo didn't go well while I was gone. Rie said she was stalking and attacking Samanth and Giz so she had to shut her up in my bedroom and leave her there. I am trying the tactic I used on Samantha when she was doing that.... I pick her up, scold her all the way to my room, shut her in and leave her there for time out. I am hoping she will catch on as fast as Samantha did or I don't know what Iwill do. I saw her do the stalk and attack thing myself and it is downright mean! She really does not like Samantha and she seems to be her main target....
That trip out was really the most unusual one I have ever had! Remember, the boat was in the shipyard getting new wheels? Well, those new wheels were a problem for us, the boat almost had a collision with a cliff and several times, when trying to stop the boat, they had to get some harbor tugs to come stop the boat. NOT GOOD!.... especially with a 40 barge tow... We made 1 trip south and back up with the boat like that before we were back in the shipyard. The company was not convienced there was something wrong but agreed to have a look and see. Out of the water, a visual looked normal but when they pulled the wheels off, they found all sorts of things wrong... We were in the shipyrad a week having the wheels reworked and other things done. We were all so afraid they would decrew the boat and send us all somewhere else but I guess the shipyard was paying our wages while we were there and well as having to eat the whole bill for all the work that was done since it wasn't done right to start with. In spite of it all, I really enjoyed the trip out this time and it seems like the time flew by.
It is great to be back home and with my babies again. Now I have 28 days worth of cat hair to remove from my house..... it seems they are shedding their winter coats BIG TIME!
