We're home! REALLY home! It was a long car ride for Smokey. She was fine, stretched out across our laps or curled up in Luke's lap for the first 3 hours. But after dark she became panicky. Maybe it was the lights from the traffic. The poor little thing howled, gurgled, yodeled, cried, and paced across us for10 minute stretches. She'd pant and her little paws were soaking wet with sweat. Then she'd settle down on a lap for a while, then start again. For 2 hours. She was so glad to get home, running around the house, going muurrrr in each room. Last night she slept near my pillow, a sure sign of a little extra neediness. Today she's great and settled in already. She's "helping" me blog by sleeping by my side on the sofa.
We are NOT settled in - wow, why do we need to bring home so much stuff??? And, the car registration tags were outdated, so I had to take care of that this morning. It''ll all get done.
Neighbors and friendsYvonne and Charlie made sure the house was ok during our trip and had it all ready for us last night - the refrigerator was cold, the freezer had ICE, water was back on and hot, and our waterbed had been turned on in plenty of time to ensure it was warm enough to sleep in. ahhhh.... there is no place like home, Toto...
