This time tomorrow...

By this time tomorrow, I should be on the boat. The boat is down here and we should be getting on in Baton Rouge, no more than a 30 minute drive if the traffic is good. My Captain will pick me up then we will be heading that way provided the boat don't run into any delays and things go like they should.

I had to take the girls to my sons Sunday and it broke my heart to leave them, especially Amy. She did better than I expected on the long drive over there but I had to constantly talk to her and touch her through the kennel to keep her calm. She still was so stressed that she wet on herself on the ride over there but once there, she was happy and even let Kevlin pick her up and love on her for awhile. Samantha ran right to the bedroom and got on the bed and went right to sleep.. Giz just explored, looking for something to get into.

Chester has been a velcro kitty ever since they left, wanting to be in my lap all the time, sleeps with me all night and will not leave my side. I keep telling him, he can do that when the girls are home and don't have to wait until they are gone.. I know he will be happy to go back to Rie's house... he loves it over there so much! I will miss my babies but I am sure Chester will NOT miss me!

I will miss all of you and your kitties and I promise, I will think of you often!

We will miss you here, Laura!! You are such a great warm person!
Please have a safe trip, and be back asap

ps. btw, how long will you be gone? I know you will miss your furballs enormously, but I am sure that Rie Rie will take "purfect" care of them!!

I think that a Few of The Angels will be going with you as they have never been on a long boat trip,and they hear that the Food is pretty good aboard.

Now, I can NOT wait to get back home and see those two fur kids again (BOY, have I missed those 2!).. I am so hoping he is able to stay home this time!!!
