My Aunt Sara dropped me off at home this afternoon via her &#8220;pet taxi&#8221; service. Mom told Aunt Sara, &#8220;I took a couple of days to relax and have a mini-vacation. I need to do that more often.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Yes! I absolutely agree. I came home with a note from the Barking Lounge, reporting what I&#8217;d done. I don&#8217;t fetch. But I did cuddle with everyone and I got some serious nap time and exercise.  If that&#8217;s a vacation, give me more.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all I got to escape our feline housemates.

Creampuff of course is so ditzy she didn&#8217;t even notice anybody was gone.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ll get to hear Ophelia&#8217;s story. Just what I don&#8217;t need. Time for another nap. I guess life could be worse and anyway I need to spend the next week or two acting Very Grateful For My Owner. Cathy just saw the boarding bill.  &#8220;Might as well send you to the Four Seasons,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what that means. But I sat up when she reminded all of us, &#8220;You are lucky to have a good home. These days the shelters don&#8217;t have room for all the abandoned animals.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Yes. Definitely not a week to press the mom for extra treats, let alone a winter coat and those cute little booties. If the mom won&#8217;t wear high heels,  and she loves her ancient parka, we know who&#8217;s not getting a new wardrobe this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mom Cathy just got back from her conference this morning.
