    I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack!!!

    Hi!

    I finally made it to Michigan! What a nightmare! Now before you go saying I told you so (regarding my cats yodeling throughout the whole trip) let me let you in on a little surprise.

    All my furbabies and bald dude slept the whole 10 1/2 hours!!! Don't worry, I was shocked too.

    The movers, who were supposed to arrive at 9 a.m. Saturday morning showed up at noon. Then, the driver realized he forgot to weigh the truck before arriving. So he had to go back out and get it weighed. That took another hour and a half. They started packing the truck at 1:30. They finished (we expected to be on the road by 4 p.m.) at 11 p.m.!!!! My sister-in-law and I, and my six furbabies spent the night at a hotel in CT.

    I drove straight through Sunday and arrived in Michigan at 9:30 p.m. The cats were wonderful!!! They didn't make a sound. I am so proud of them.

    So I'm here. I'm not online frequently because the truck has yet to arrive and my computer is on it. I've been borrowing my sister-in-laws computer at her travel agency.

    Thank you all so much for your good wishes. Although the trip was very long, it was a beautiful day out, and my cats were perfect little angels (honest!!).

    I'll be back online soon. Miss you all!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    That's great about the cats!! Did you tranquilize them? I forgot.

    Sorry you had some setbacks with the movers...did everything arrive safely yet?

    Ah, the best laid plans...................whatever happens to them?

    But your nice surprise was your reward. (kitties sleeping). Glad to hear that you arrived safely. I don't envy the task ahead of you, but glad that you and the furkids are alright.

    Welcome back! I'm glad the journey was 'easy' and cats were little angels. They sure can surprise us sometimes, can't they?

    Thanks for posting. What an ordeal with the movers! Glad the kitties slept all the way! Isn't that amazing!

    Now, take your time to get settled and come back here when you're ready. See you soon!

    Good news on your safe and quiet move to Michigan. While the behavior of the cats may have been a surprise the behavior of the movers probably wasn't!

    Good to have you back and welcome to the Midwest!

    Moosmom,

    So glad to hear that you & the kitties arrived safely. Hope
    that all your things arrive intact and you get all settled in
    no time. Liz.

    P.S. Don't you just love that little picture of Lut's, with the
    six pair of little eyeballs peering out of the box. LOL.

    CONGRATULATIONS!! What a pleasant surprise re. the cats travelling so well. I think your former activities with taking them to cat shows helped immensely this time.

    What a pain re. the movers, but ... sigh ... not ALL that surprising. Do hope your settling in goes as well as the move itself did.

    {{{hugs}}} and congrats all over again for having the bulk of the move behind you.

    Hi Moosmom, glad to hear you've made the move safe and sound. What an ordeal with the removalists; at least it's over now and you can settle into your new life with your beautifully behaved fur and bald babies. Lots of exploring for them to do!

    Our move date has been brought forward, so we leave in about eight weeks now. Arghhhhh!!! But I can take solace from your experience that everything worked out and there is light at the end of the highway. Welcome back!

    Congratulations on the semi-smooth move, and best furry wishes on your new life situation - I sure hope all your fur babies give you the TLC you will need while adjusting to new places and new people!

    Welcome back, welcome (to your new) home, and frankly, aren't you glad you can be mad at the movers, who you'll never see again, than the cats? Things could have been far worse!

    What a nice spin you put on that, Karen! I like it a lot.
