We hit the road today on our latest road trip! This time our route will take in Lubbock in Texas to see my stepson Chris and then onto Pueblo and Colorado Springs in Colorado.
Our traveling companions include the entire gang of fur babies – Miss Poppy-dog and kitties Abigail, Archer, Artie and Holly. This is a first for us, and we are going to test out a new arrangement to see if it can work for future road trips.
In Lubbock, we will drop off kitty Artie with Chris, who adores him, and take off with the three remaining kitties and Poppy. This sounds a little strange but on our last road trip we took Abigail and Archer and left Artie and Holly at home. On returning from the road trip I forgot to put on my kitty psychology hat and world war II broke out between the two kitties who had had the house to themselves for five weeks and the two who had been away. Oh my, it was a full two weeks before kitty order was restored!
Not wishing to repeat that again, and due to bullying of Artie by Archer, we thought we’d try this experiment and see how it goes. Artie gets to be spoiled by Chris and have an Archer-free holiday, and with the liberal use of a water spray bottle, we can prevent Archer venting his bullying tendencies on Miss Holly, who gives him as good as he gives out. This way, no one is left at home to create their own fiefdom and fingers crossed, it will work although I will dearly miss my beloved Artie ……………. we shall see!

They are hilarious! We were not expecting that Holly would miss Artie-pants, but she does, as do we, and I suspect that this will be the last time that we travel in the US without all of them. The weather in Colorado is very cool in the mornings and evenings and so we have been using the floor heating. The three kitties, especially Holly, are glued to the floor where the floor tiles are warm/hot and when you pick them up they are as warm as toast! Poppy is really loving the cold weather – she is full of beans and very curious when she saw some wild turkeys wandering around!
