Abby Holidays in Langford - April 2012

Well -THAT was a shock! I think my friends should know what happened! And I can prove it all.

So the suitcases came out, you two are busy packing and arranging this and arranging that, and I'm thinking, "OK - are we going to the Oregon Coast (I love it there)? Are we going camping with Mei Ling and what's their names? Oh -are they going somewhere without me? Is Aunty Marilyn coming to stay with me?" You would not believe what went through my mind.

Then Monday morning came, and I found out that MY bag was packed too! Yayyyyyyyyyy! Where are we going, and will there be squirrels or cats, and will there be another dog?

The bags are at the door, and what do you know? Here comes Sharon. Now I'm confused again. So we load it all into the car, and next thing I know Aunty Marilyn is in the car too! I love this so far. A few minutes later, Pam gets in the car. It keeps getting better.

The trip started and it's great that I have so many of my fans with me. They will walk with me, talk to me, and tell me I'm cute (which of course I am). 

The very NEXT thing I know, everybody gets out of the van - except me. The four of you, all but Sharon are lined up - WITH your suitcases, ready to go somewhere! What about me?

This is where I can PROVE it. Just look below. I got my paws on the picture to show EVERYONE.

You see? It's all true.

Well I just want you to know that you're not the only ones having a good time. I don't really NEED you to have fun you know.

I was a bit down after dropping you off and slept until we were almost at Sharon's. Then I recognized the streets and started to get excited again. The 'sightings' are pretty good at her house.

PRETTY good? Wow, we JUST got into the house and I went to look out the back door and BINGO, there's the next door cat! She was right off the deck by the cedar trees. So of course I barked and barked and barked and get this. The cat jumped up ONTO THE DECK and came to the door.

Now what do I do? The only thing I could think of was to keep barking. Sharon did not know what to do because the cat, I guess, wanted to play with me, because she just stood right at the glass door looking at me. So she closed the blinds to make the cat go away. But I was so excited I just kept pawing at the blinds, so she had to open them again. But now the cat was gone.

Remember in the last blog (when once again, you left me behind - not that I'm counting) I had a cat sighting but it was not the 'actual' cat in the picture? Well, this time it IS the actual cat! Look below.

This morning when I got up - yes, I got up at the same time as Sharon - I spotted the cat again, in the same place. I barked and barked, but Sharon kept telling me uh-uh (why did you ever teach her that?), and I actually did slow it down. Then she closed the blinds and kept me away from them until the cat went away.

Oh - the cat's name is Scooter she says. I do not have to keep saying 'the cat', 'the cat'. Sharon says I can just say 'Scooter' and you will know who I mean.

Now I am having a rest.
