Are you leaving, too? I'm leaving for Chicago this Friday. We will return Tuesday. My younger son and fiancé are leaving for a snorkeling trip to Mexico in August. My older son, pictured here with our princess, is leaving for the Bahamas next week, and then will be traveling to London, England the first week of July. My grandson will return to all day camp for the summer. My granddaughter will fly to Maine for her second year of an 8 week summer camp. We are planning a few trips if anyone is around to babysit Doodles. Would you be willing to live in my house and babysit Doodles?

We will go to Paris and Strasbourg in August. I would love to babysit Doodles, but I know that Willy would not appreciated if I let him alone.

@DianneN Poor little Willy has learned to obtain immediately what he wants. It's enough he comes to rub against my legs purring and he gets my immediate attention.

Sounds wonderful! We will have to wait until the fall for our next big trip. I wouldn't leave poor little Willy, either.

Exciting times coming up for your family. I used to house-sit for people with horses, dogs, and cats, so one cat would not be a problem! Pity you are so far away.

Nope. I decided to build up my saving account instead. I'll get into a pattern of travel next year, after the account is full.

Good for you! It's important to have money for travel, rather than delete your savings.

@ElizabethWallace I don't blame you at all. Everyone should have a substantial savings, especially before they decide to go traipsing around the world, without a pot to p*ss in. So many charge their vacations and have to pay them off for years.

@DianneN I want to see a number big enough that I would have no problem is the landlord decided to sell this house out from under me. That has happened twice so far.

What a very dear and sweet picture of your son and granddaughter. That is so precious, you can see the close bond that they share. I'd love to come and Doodle-sit for you, but work will be calling. Who will Doodle-sit this weekend while you go away?

@DianneN The 2 of them must share an incredibly strong bond, good for them. I hope that they always remain as close as they look, there is nothing sweeter then a Daddy-Daughter relationship, speaking from experience.

@Juliaacv It runs in our family, too. I was always Daddy's little girl, even when I married and had two children of my own. Lol! The kids are both so little that they still love their mommy and daddy. I'm sure it will continue, although that girl is giving them a run for their money! My grandson is a sweet, gentle soul.

Thank you. She is truly daddy's little girl, although she ran to me first for hugs and kisses. That made my heart explode. Doodles will be watched by his daddy, who is moving in for the duration. He will still work, play with his other kitties, and visit their mommy in between feeding and taking Doodles outside. It's his cat who is cramping our style, lol, although we love him to bits.

Only if Doodles happened to be Siamese as I'm allergic to cats but not that breed. I hope everyone has a great trip and vacation and the kids enjoy themselves at camp.

Ha Ha! I don't think I will move into your house to babysit Doodles ... although it would make it easy to visit our daughter in Hastings at the same time! LOL We are going up to the Napa Valley to visit our daughter who lives there and enjoy a long weekend in a few weeks. We just had our daughter from Delaware and her family spend a week with us here in Laguna. The daughter from Hastings will be here with her family in July. Our daughters and their families like to come stay with us ... we are their vacation resort! LOL

Anywhere I can be with family is good enough for me. You should at least think of babysitting Doodles. Your daughter can come, too, from Hastings. We have five bedrooms from which to choose. Doodles will be happy for the company. LOL!!!!!
