Sorry to have been off the radar for a couple days! Things were very hectic as we prepared to travel to my parents' house for the holidays. We arrived in Iowa last night and we'll be returning to Kansas City on Tuesday.
The kids traveled surprisingly well! Herbie was not happy about going into the small carrier to get to the car, and DS and I were both a bit heartbroken by her seeming to think we were going to ship her off. Once we got in the car and she realized she'd be sharing a larger crate with her "Poopie," she was fine and just laid calmly for the whole trip. Willie had a bit of his usual howling, but it was FAR more subdued than past trips... like he didn't want to scare or upset his Bit Bit. They actually stayed in the crate the whole trip, which has never happened with Willie!
Yesterday's Numbers:
AMPS 176
+1~240
+6.5~211
PMPS (+13) 216
+4~70
I have no idea what was going on with Willie's numbers back home. His high numbers started on the anniversary of Miss Belle's passing, which coincided with a switch to Special Kitty pate. I accidentally forgot his food in the rush to get on the road, so when we stopped for gas, we hit up a Dollar General (Walmart's parking lot was looking too scary! :lol: :lol: :lol: ) and got some FF (brand and generic), some 9 lives and some generic Friskies.
Willie couldn't be happier to be at his Grandma and Grandpa's house, with his little behind in a seemingly permanent state of "shake yur tailfeather" glee. He's been exploring the whole house, pausing to participate in whatever conversation is going on. Herbie, meanwhile, has been exploring underneath all the beds... she wants so badly to be in the room with people, but is scared... so she comes in, but if you acknowledge her, she runs under the nearest bed! It was adventure time once the lights went out last night, so the bean didn't get much sleep as the kids played well into the night. I've decided that vertical blinds are evil!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Okay, just whistled for Willie to come get his +1 poke. He heads to the litterbox to make a deposit. The box is sitting next to an armchair, so Herbie jumps up on the arm of the chair and starts batting at his head, at which point Willie exits the box in a huff, giving me a I can't work under these conditions!!! glare. He gets back in. More whacks. So he gets out and comes over by the bed. Bit Bit jumps down, gets in the box, does her business, then gets out with a Geez! You need ME to show you how to use the box! snicker as she comes over and waves her behind in his face. A round of sniffyourbutt ensues. I swear. These kids!!!
Okay, I'm off to get the kids their second breffis, work out and then get some breakfast of my own!
Hope everyone has safe travels and a happy holidays!!
