Monday Meowsie New…Cousin Leo and Sailing???
HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
First, I thought I hit the “schedule” button with my paw as I was closing up last night…but nope! So I am a bit late this morning…oooppps…so here is my Monday Meowsie News…
Bet you can’t figure out what “Cousin Leo” and “Sailing” have to do with anything…right??? And nope, Cousin Leo has not become another Bailey Boat Cat…heh…heh…
First, I know most of you have found your way over to my Cousin Leo’s new blog…Leo Land SV. For those who may not know, Leo lives in what is known around the world as the “Silicon Valley”…that’s where like a ton of tech firms call ‘home’; so that’s what the “SV” stands for.
Leo has been having Dad Dave (DD) keep in touch with texts and emails and he has some photos sent along to make sure we know he is doing great. I have already shared a few, but thought I would put ’em all together in one place..
…and here are a few from more recently…
So, Leo is really doing just great!
Now about the sailing part…Dad and Mom went to San Francisco, across the bay from where we live…to watch one of the races in the Louis Vuitton Cup which is part of the America’s Cup sailboat races happening in our bay this Summer and early Fall.
They watched the Luna Rosa team from Italy against the Artemis team from Sweden. The Artemis Team was a sentimental favorite as they had crashed their original boat in May, killing one of the team members from Britain. They had only 12 days with their new boat to get used to sailing it. For those of you who are interested, click HERE to learn why these boats this year are so very different from others used in sailboat racing…and they are HUGE…72 feet!!
It was a fabulous day on the bay…so I asked Mom to share some of her photos…she FORGOT her camera…these were all shot using her iPhone!!…

Great day, wonderful weather…purrfect! Oh, and they bought t-shirts MADE FROM PLASTIC BOTTLES!!! Cool huh? And after they had lunch at an incredible vegetarian restaurant called “Greens“….yum yum…I know Rumpy’s human Jen and The Maple Syrup Mob’s Mummy Janey and Dad Chris would all have luvluvluv’d this place!!
Lastly, I was contacted by a really nice woman in the UK who is collecting data about the ways in which animal charities communicate with their supporters/potential supporters. Mom and I completed her survey to help her collect data for her university dissertation…here is the linky to a short survey if you are willing to help her with her project…thanks lots in advance!

All that sea air and fun in the sun made me tired…
