After having false hopes of him being Mr. Lovey Dovey upon our return, reality soon sat in. He acted like he didn't know us. It took him a few minutes to realize the peace and quiet would soon be over.
We drove 30 miles to get the girls. Annie was frightened, as we knew she would be, the whole time. And Kia warmed up to the lady in order to get a walk a to be petted. However, just before we arrived she got very sick. The vet gave her some meds and told us she thought it was just nerves, but just in case...Annie and Kia stunk so bad we had to give Annie her yearly haircut and bathed both of them! Nothing like being home and naked!!
It was a long trip home, Kia got sick in the car. I felt so bad for her. She may have to take our next trip with us. She's better now and I think the vet was right. She thought we weren't coming back to get her. Remember, she was the one that was dumped in Moberly and starved along with her brothers. She must remember those terrible days.

Lisa, we just had the same experience over Memorial Day. Wilson went right up to the vet and made friends. Truman was scared to death. Wehn we picked them up, Wilson was ready to come home, bounded to the car. Truman was scared the whole time, I don't even think he ate while we were gone. He is fine now, though! Our cat, however, is not welcome at the vets any more. He gets his shots in the car. That is another story altogether.
Oh dear. Chloe loves to ride in the car and wants to go with us everywhere. Kimmy gets carsick in just moments...getting to the mountains four hours away with them is a trick...our vet recommended gingersnaps. They might help a little, but at least they aren't as stinky when they make a return visit....argghh.
Cats can have such attitudes. They are great!
And they truly ARE our fur kids aren't they? Our Henry had a horrble experience at the kennel his first time. I doubt we will ever do that with him again. Lucy did well and Kip usually does, especially when my Mom's dog is with him. But I doubt he sleeps a wink or eats well while we are away. I had to kaugh when I read terri's comment about her cat! Our first cat was like that! At one kennel there was sign on her cage reading *Does not play well with others...or ANYONE for that maytter!* HA! But she loved us and was our baby...*sigh*
I love the pictures of your babies...: )
Love,
Sue
