They’re Back, They’re Back!!!!….

Hiya!! Savannah Here!

Hey!…they came back!!! Yea!!!…errrrr…ummm….I mean…yeah, well so what?…

I was so distraught when they left…I could hardly keep my eyes open from leaking…see!!!?? My precious  little white paws are lifted in fear!!…(Mom: ” she barely lifted her head”)

Like I already knew their little “get-a-way” wasn’t exactly a piece of tuna ya know!

Mom texted me yesterday afternoon on their way down to the beach town, Santa Cruz, where their event was taking place.  Mom grew up in Santa Cruz, CA.  Dad wanted to take this scenic highway down the Pacific coast, called Highway 1…so they had to get from the San Francisco Bay Area over to the coast to pick it up.  That meant going across the Santa Cruz Coastal Mountains, (like, all this is only about an hour away from our home)…

Welllllllll…it was hot, hot, hot in most of the bay area…sooooooo…guess where everyone wanted to be?????

YES!!! ON THE COAST!!!…ESPECIALLY IN SANTA CRUZ!!!

So their trip looked like this crossing through the pretty Santa Cruz coastal range (should’a been about a 15 minute drive…took an hour!!!)

…bumper to bumper on both sides!!…

…and notice the speed limit??…well, they were lucky to hit 10 miles per hour…(puts paw over mouth…snigger, snork…)

They finally arrived at the coast highway…and instead of the lovely sun puddly weather they had when they left home…this is what they found…FOG!! LOTS OF IT…awwwww…too bad, how sad, I’m so glad sorry!!!…

Finally, they drove into some nice sunny weather…and can you guess what they saw in the sky above the crashing ocean….see those specks???….

YES!!! KITE SURFERS!!!…probably about 20 of them in the water…you can see some of them skimming along the ocean, their kite flying high above them…pretty cool, huh??!!

They stayed at a really  nice place on the coast…they used to stay here lots…and love it..that’s the view of the ocean from their room and there is a 4 mile beach just below their resort…

Finally…they came home…first thing they both did was find me…actually I kind’a met them…and then I got a bunch of scritches…

And..Mom got me lots of my fave’ snack food…my prescription kibble….yummmmm…

…scarf, scarf, scarf…crunch, crunch…

Oh yeah, thanks lots Mom…wipes crumbs from chin…drool from corner of mouth…

Caturday Goodbyes…

SIGH!…POUT…SIGH!…POUT…MEW!…MEW!…

Oh yeah, Hiya…Savannah here…sort of…

They brought in the dreaded containers…not black…oh no…not my Dad!…he had to have RED!!!…rub it in my face…wiping leaky eyes with dainty white french mani front paws…

I laid right there, on my special colorful Nip ‘N Nap Mat…to no avail (vocab builder)…they continued to put their crap things in the bags…

Did they show me any kindness…(wipes leaky eyes again with lovely dainty white french mani front paws…)…nooooooo…not hardly…

Mom put her trashy lovely clothes into a disgusting nice clothes bag…her bag was black…black as her heart shoes…

….I tried to be snotty brave…and wish her a lousy good time…

…WHAT!!…you don’t think that is a loving kitty stare???…You must be kidding…I was totally fine about Mom and Dad taking a 24 hour leave of absence GET AWAY from ‘MOI’…

Friday Planning…Sort Of…

Hiya!!  Savannah Here!

Well it is Friday, and we have lots to do today to plan for my blog for the next couple of days.  Mom and Dad are going on a one night “Get Away”…yep, they are…aaaaggggaaaiiiinnnnnn…sigh…

I know, I know…it’s only one night…only 24 hours…and I have Auntie Shannon to stay with me and play with me…but I miss my huMom’s special head massages and I miss my huDad’s special way he nukes (microwaves) my wet food if it has been in the fridge…no one does it just like Dad, not even Mom.

Anywho…Mom came looking for me after she finished her spin class at the gym and got a little hair trim for the event they are going to on Saturday night.

Mom: “Savannah??…hey honey…where are you???…Savannah??…oh there you are little girl…”

“…Mom…can’t you see I was resting??…what do you want??…”

…Mom: “we need to talk about what you want to say on your blog on Caturday and Sunday?…we need to plan so I can take notes and get it drafted for your approval…come on Savvy…just a little time won’t kill you…”

…Savannah: “I’m really tired…I had a tough day yesterday…remember??…I upchucked that new canned food you gave me?…let me rest some more….”

…Mom: “Savannah…pay attention!”…Savannah: “OK!!! Alright already!…don’t whinge!!…just a minute…(opens  mouth wide, big yawn…)…ok…”

…Mom: ” well thanks a lot young lady!!…you can at least pay atten…..SAVANNAH!!!…what are you doing??”…Savannah: “can’t you see…right here on my hind leg…some fur is out of place…just a minute…lick, lick…nudge, nudge…”

…Savannah: “Ok…I think I got it…now what were you saying??…”

…Savannah:  “ooopps…’scuse me…I can feel something on my face…lemme just do a quick face wash…hang on Mom…I’ll be right with ya…”

…Mom: “SAVANNAH!!…don’t you dare go back to sleep!…there is planning to do….”…Savannah: “…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…”

If I don’t have a post for Caturday or Sunday, you all know why…napping always comes before, during and after planning!! Surely we can teach our staff about this concept…right??
