Yesterday me, Whitey, Sarah and Tucker all had a Road Trip! Mom and Uncle Daddy loaded us all into our carriers in the middle of the night and we drove almost 5 hours to Lakeland, FL, where Mom and Uncle Daddy use to live. You see, Mom was not at all happy with how much my spay surgery was going to cost here compared to what she use to pay in Florida. So off we went, because Mom does not enjoy spending more than needs to be spent.
Fashion Note: While I DO have a very pretty Pink mat in my carrier, the cone head look is not my favorite.
I was a very good girl. The people at the Lakeland SPCA could not have been nicer. Whitey was also very nice to me. This photo of Whitey and me was back at my hotel. It was taken after Mom and Uncle Daddy came to pick me up. Whitey just snuggled up on the bed "sort of" next to me and we took a nice nap before we all got loaded back into the van for the trip home.
Whitey had his annual and both of us also were microchipped. My cousins Sarah (above) and Tucker also came along because they needed their annuals, too. Momma says she saved a ton of money AND got us all the protection we need and deserve, so even though it was a very loooong, day, it was well worth the trip!
Note: Sarah is Gandalf's litter mate sister. Their other litter mate, BooBoo, already had his annual so he got to stay home, as did Cousin Cosmo and my brothers Gandalf and Grayson. This time.
We made a little Slideshow of the day, if you would like to see them. Mom only brought her iPhone, but they aren't too bad for snapshots.
Oh! And guess what? We even saw real live cheezburgers!
I am glad that Whitey was nice to you Gracie! I hope you recover quickly from your surgery. Ask for ham.

Wow, that was quite a day, Miss Gracie. That pic of you and Whitey is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHi Gracie. You look very scared with the cone on...but quite calm with big bRother Whitey nearby. We're so glad that everything went so well for everyone and that you guys didn't "sing" the whole way to and back. And imagine, cheezburgers on the hoof!
ReplyDeletei hope you are better. Such a long trip for a surgery!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was quite the furmily affair! I took a look at the slideshow, but sometimes couldn't determine who was who, except for Gracie and Whitey, of course.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like your kitties all tolerated the trip well, and I'm so happy that Gracie's ladygardenectomy well so smoothly. That's an adorable picture of her afterwards.
I'm sure you're all just glad to be home again to celebrate Mother's Day as it should be.
Happy Mother's Day!
Road Trip! Hmmmmm, both of those are 4-letter words. Like Auto Ride. We are all opera singers in the car...thanks Cod the vet is only 15 minutes (or forty-seven hours in Cat time) away.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad the vet visit is over and your surgery went well, Gracie; hope you feel better soon...Whitey is a sweet brother; love your picture together...Happy Mother's Day to your Mommy tomorrow...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteWhat a brave little girl you are Gracie. And good of Whitey to be so sweet with you. We hope you're feeling better already.
ReplyDeleteGracie, if anyone can carry off the cone head look, it is you. We are very glad you are doing well after your ladygardenectomy. It was nice that you got to have Whitey, Sarah, and Tucker along on the trip to keep you company. Your mom is very smart to have saved so much money.
ReplyDeleteYou are all brave travelers! I've never been out of my home state and you...look at you, you've been to 2 whole states now.
ReplyDeleteGracie, I'm just so impressed that you are handling your spay surgery so well. I think you should ask for some cheese to go with your ham.
Whitey is such a sweetheart to look after you. Purrrr...
You look so adorable! :) Lots of hugs to u and your hooman friends.
