Always Hoping For The Best...

If you don't believe in miracles,

perhaps you have forgotten you are one...

Today we take Brutus to the specialist.  We go there with the hopes of finding out what is 

really going on with him.  Brutus has been with this since January of this year.  One year

and still not even close to finding out what's the reason.  As usual we are hoping for the best.

Brutus has many friends all over the globe.  He is a very lucky kitty kat

in every which way.  Arvid and I love him and can NEVER see him not in our lives.

For us he is our baby and we hurt because we cannot fix what's wrong with him.

I am not one to pray much.  I don't bargain with anyone, but if this will

help Brutus in any which way, I know how to pray.  Pray I will that he get better.

If I have to bargain with some higher forces, I will.  Please just make our baby good again.

We keep asking ourselves.."why, why"  So far no answers.  Just more questions.

Today we are hoping to have some answers. 

When the world says GIVE UP,

HOPE whispers try it one more time..

Pet Sitter For Brutus....

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.....I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.

OK...today begins the interviewing process for a pet sitter  for Brutus.  How nerve racking.  We just finished with the first interview a very nice older woman who took right away to Brutus and he to her.  Problem here...I am not so sure she is the right one and neither is Arvid.

You know the feeling but you just can't pinpoint the exact reason why you have it.  She was professional.  Loved Brutus but........

Could be because the only way I have of getting in touch with her is by leaving a message at the lobby.  No phone calls and no emails.  She does not do those.

Well that's a bit too much for me.  Her prices were reasonably compared to the other lady we will be interviewing in a bit....but, this is Brutus we are talking about and for me it's not a matter of price but a matter of feeling like we are leaving him in good hands...he's after all our baby.....

Hopefully we will feel more at ease with the next person coming.............and make the right choice for Brutus.....and for us.

It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being.

until next time...

Busy Days Ahead....Continued..

A man has always to be busy with his thoughts if anything is to be accomplished.

OK...we have had our relaxed and quiet time now begins another kind of fun stuff.....showing customers around our "island".

The first batch arrives today and then tomorrow 4 others.  Interesting to see how everything turns out.

One set speaks Norwegian...good thing because as you know Arvid is Norwegian.

The second batch is a couple from Spain...only speaking Spanish.   Here is where I put my Spanish skills to work.....and there is a couple from Italy who I was lead to believe speak both English and Spanish.  Will be interesting to have them all in our car and see how everyone interacts.

Yes, we do have a pretty big car.....

Tiny problem.  The second set of people come to an airport that is 2 hours away from us and are staying in a hotel that's an hour and a half from us.  The best part about that is that they are staying in this beautiful place called The Cove.

In the meantime we are planning our schedule.  Should be an interesting time.  Looking forward to it.....In the meantime let me go and enjoy the coconut Arvid got me.....while Arvid does some work....

Everything is perfect...just missing our Brutus to make it complete...

It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being....

The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude

We are missing our little Brutus.....

until next time..
