Mom thinks I’m doing a lot of extra snoozing because I was at the kennel while she and my Dad were on a mini-vacation this past week……..well………..she’s right!    I didn’t sleep as well THERE as I do at home in the upstairs hallways where I can spread out and lie on my back and let it all hang out.    I know you’ve seen me in this position before but – well – who gets tired of seeing a BIG kitty lying on their back????   Am I right?   The totally hilarious thing is this – when I looked back a year ago at a photo of me (taken Oct. 29, 2017) this is what I found:

Now here’s the photo Mom took of me YESTERDAY!

Just more of me to love right?

Now, I promised that I’d talk about my Mom and Dad’s vacation last week.   They left last Monday after they dumped me off took me to the kennel where the Nuns who live there and operate the kennel welcomed me with open arms.   Then off Mom and Dad went to have FUN in York, Maine.     They flew up to Portland, got their rental car and then drove down to York.   They stayed in a VERY old Inn right on the ocean.   York Harbor Inn dates back to the 1600s!    Almost as old as my Mom and Dad!    Here’s their room and a photo of the outside of the Inn:

The food was fabulous – Mom must have told everyone in the universe this by now but she had lobster every single day.   She loves the stuff.  I bet I would too!    The highlight of their trip was visiting with Miss Ellen and her husband Mr. David from 15andMeowing.   They met them LAST year when they visited Maine and it’s turned into an annual event.   My parents said they had a fabulous time chatting and laughing over lunch.   They also all visited the Kittery Trading Post and took photos of themselves in front of the giant moose in the foyer of the Trading Post.   That is apparently also an annual event as they have photos of the same spot from LAST year.    The funny thing in this photo is it looks like the stuffed bear is whispering in Mr. David’s ear – My Dad should have sat there then HE would have known what the secret was the bear was telling Mr. David!

Mom also took some photos of the park area across the street from the Inn………it’s maintained by the town of York and was donated to them by a very well to do family many years ago.  The property and the house on it which is now a Nature Reserve are gorgeous.

Mom and Dad love going to Maine every October.   I think it’s good for them to have a little getaway……..good thing they didn’t stay long – they came to rescue me from the kennel on Thursday.   Whew!   Those Nuns would have hugged and kissed me into oblivion if I hadn’t been picked up and brought back home that day!    (HAHAHA)
