Home sweet home!

Well, we're finally back from our 6-day cruise on the Rideau Canal in Ontario, Canada! And what a trip is was! Cruising the Rideau Canal from Kingston up through Ottawa was an amazing experience. Good food, great scenery, fascinating history, friendly passengers and crew, and an awesome boat named the Kawartha Voyageur.

The only thing missing were our furr babies whom both hubby and I missed terribly! Fortunately, they were in very good hands as we have been blessed with a fantastic friend who always makes sure to go out of her way by going above and beyond the call of duty! She gives both kitties and bunny the extra love and care they need with us away for so long. After we arrived home, I noticed a small bag of baby carrots in the frig for Sam. Since our friend, Judy, refuses to accept any amount of money for her trouble, we always bring her back something special and unique from our trip.

 Just one of the many gifts we brought back for Judy in appreciation of everything she has done for us

Needless to say, our cats were happy to see us come back home again ~ after about an hour of kissing a little kitty-cat behind, that is! LOL! 

I left my heart in Reading, PA

If any of you are followers of my other blog, "The Wiccan Life," then you probably already know that hubby and I are leaving on vacation this week with my in-laws for a little week-long cruise to Ontario, Canada.

Now for the past two years, we have been taking a weeks vacation and upon our return, we have found that our females, Kiki and Haley, appeared basically uninterupted by our leaving them for a few days. My buddy Midnight; however, has always been a different story all together!

I know that he and the other cats will be in very good hands while we are away, yet I still feel rather guilty all the same. You see, Midnight is the only kitty we have ever had who literally "needs" me in his routine on a daily basis. He is more like a dog in many ways as he never fails to greet me at the door when I come home from work (or anywhere for that matter) and he follows me around everywhere I go in the house all of the time. He sleeps on pillow every night and, while cuddled up on top of my head, purrs me to sleep. Who needs a noise maker to be able to relax and go to sleep, eh? Certainly not me ...  LOL!

He even patiently lies at my feet every time I am on the computer ~ yes, even right now as I am typing this post he is cuddled loyally by my side on the living room floor.  Goddess, how I truly do love and adore that cat! 

My hubby and I both do, and we feel so very blessed to have him in our life for we know in hour hearts that we will never, ever have another cat quite as special as Midnight. No sir, like all cats, he is most definitely "one of a kind."
