Sigh of Relief

Hi Everybody!
We are letting out a sigh of relief. Mom came back home from Reno. She had a good time but was worn out. Right from the start, her trip was goofy. Her flight out of Philly was delayed, so she missed her connecting flight in Chicago, which then meant an extra flight and arriving 5 hours later than she should have. Her suitcase caught up with her later the next day! I think it is better to be a cat and to travel light, just with the coat on our back. MOL!

Aunt Anita was here with us and we had a good time. We played, we napped and watched movie. We got spoiled, she can never get mad at us, we are just too cute. Even Daisy warmed up to her. Twice she put her paws up to go on the recliner with her, but then chickened out. Maybe next time.

Mrs Murphy missed Mom though. She even stopped eating about half way through Mom's trip. Aunt Anita tried everything she could think of, but she couldn't get her to eat. She didn't even want to eat for Mom when she got home. Mom gave her an appetite stimulant and now she is doing better.

Mom started her first class last week. She is on the computer every night, but not for us. I had to beg her to update my diary!

Gram continues to do well. One of these days, Mom is going to take one of us to go visit her. Maybe me or maybe Rusty. We are the best behaved on the harness and the most sociable with strangers. I'll keep you posted on how that turns out.

Sorry we missed lots of special occasions. We miss you guys and think of you often. Love,

Skylar

Oh NO.. Not again!

Oh No! Not again. Do you know what I saw out in the hallway today? Suitcases! That can only mean one thing.....Mom is going away.

Turns out Mom is going to Reno, NV. Do we have any pals that near there? Mom might have some time to meet and greet. Send us a pawmail and let us know.

She is going for a bowling tournament. The timing isn't great, but he trip was planned since last year. Grammy has been in rehab now for 3 weeks and is starting to do better, although she still has her feeding tube. She is okay with Mom going away although she said she will miss her. Mom also starts school, so she will have to take her book and her laptop and probably do homework.

Aunt Anita will be staying with us for part of the time, but she also has to dog-sit for another of our friends. Just so she doesn't think she can combine the two jobs and bring the woofie here....ain't happening!

I feel badly that we missed alot of events here. I apologize, things were just really crazy for a while. MOm thinks she has herself in a pretty good routine now and things are a little better. We are all doing okay, sometimes a little needy, but okay.

I've missed you guys and hope you are all doing okay. I don't get to see the lovely Samhain as much as I would like, and to hang with my pal Zach (Skit misses him too). We are really sad about our buddy Charlie. Our purrs and prayers are with him and his family.

Hugs, Skylar

Spring Tag

I was tagged by Crouton, Tiger and Jezebel to name my five favorite things about spring. I had a few days to think about it, so here are my answers...


1. Spring = warmer weather
Warmer weather = food cooked on the grill
Food cooked on the grill = yummy treats for cats like hamburger or salmon! Nom Nom Nom!!

2. Spring = Warm sun puddles in the afternoon in the middle room. Glorious napping in the sun.....ahhhhh

3. Spring = growing grass
Growing grass = treats for cats I love when Mom brings in those tender blades.

4. Spring = warm house The humans don't turn up the heat too high during the winter since they are not home most of the day. It is a little too chilly for my liking, but I do find cozy spots to nap.

5. Spring = walks outside with my harness. Much nicer than in the winter.


I also agree with lots of the answers you guys have already given too. There is just something special about spring.

Oh, before I forget.....thanks for all those Easter Eggs! Do you know, some of mine were filled with catnip beans?

Happy Spring!

Love,
Skyster
