Tis the day after Christmas and all through the houseDecorations to store and candles to douse.
Yep, we're getting ready to head back to South Carolina for TWO months on Monday. Goodbye gray snow and slushy puddles, hello blue skies and sandy beaches. And best of all, my winter wardrobe is staying here in New York! (Mom: "Well, almost all of his wardrobe...")
Mica is staying here with a housesitter—at almost 20 years old, Mom felt Mica was too set in his ways to handle air travel. Plus get this - in order to take me and Mica on our flight, Mom was going to have to buy another seat on the flight for $337, PLUS $100 for Mica to travel under that empty seat and $100 for me to travel under Mom's seat. Now remember - Mica weighs a little less than 6 pounds! If Mom was carrying a purse and a carry-on bag on board, she would be charged $0. But because there's a pet inside, the airlines can gouge you -- unbelievable!
So anyhow, we've just got two days to clear away all our Christmas stuff and pack up a suitcase for our trip south. You may not hear much from us until next week, but hopefully, you're all sleeping off your food comas! I had about 200 special chicken and rice popovers, some baa-baas, a whole can of Merrick's Venison Holiday Dinner, some delicious roast pork, and some tennis ball fuzz.
Ahhhh, I love Christmas!

Sounds like a very well balanced meal. Hope you have a safe trip, and looking forward to more beach adventures. Tell your mom to be sure to let us hear news about Mica also..he is venerable and not to be ignored.

I love the jib jab!
Have a safe trip! You will have beautiful weather, I'm sure of it!!!
Petey! Mom is kind of sad that she can't come down to see you in Hilton Head, but I'm happy because she is taking me to a cottage in the woods in the mountains in Vermont and her and I are going to play in the snow constantly.
Have fun with your mom. Fly safe and kisses to Mica.

Happy New Year, Petey! How exciting to be going to another home for the winter! You're like a migrating bird! Hee! Hee!
My humans so agrees with the unfairness of airlines charging TONS for animals...you don't even want to know what they got charged for me...even though they weren't trying to bring me under their seats (ha! ha!) but it was still a criminal amount of money paper to pay for little ol' me...as much as them shipping all the rest of our home!!
Hope you have a good flight and looking forward to catching up with you on the beach! :-)

Well. We know by now that you've not been having the warm weather that you'd prob'ly hoped for. But it'll get better over the two months that you're there. Have you heard from Mica? We were happy to read that Otis was planning on joining him for some shared feline time. (NOW we understand why Mica was all snuggled up next to you. He knew he was going to miss you, and he didn't want you to furget him.)
Hope you're having fun. Off to read more,
Jake and Fergi xxoo
