Big changes here

Things are really changing around here. She is putting everything in boxes and the boxes are disappearing. Then a couple of days ago the September cats were loaded up into carriers and put in the mobile box and the carriers came back empty. Then yesterday Mom and I were put into the box and taken to a place to meet a nice man and first he poked us with something in a place you don't want to know about. Then he poked us with a couple of sharp things. Now we have these strange tags hanging on our collars and we don't feel quite ourselves right now. Mom and I are going to live in a small apartment in a senior center with the man that comes and goes from the house. The Siamese are going to live with Her after they travel for a long time in the mobile box. Mom and I are glad we don't have to travel in the mobile box for very long. She misses the other cats but She says they are all in their forever homes now.

Everyday She gets up and puts more stuff into boxes and the boxes go away. Everyday She finds more of the hiding places that we all had for our toys and treasures. Mom and I have a bet going with the Siamese for how many more days She will have to continue putting things in boxes before the house will be empty. Everyday She gets a little further but everything is covered with our fur and She has been having a lot of problems breathing. Now She has to wear these funny things over her mouth and nose while She cleans out the house.

Ladybug got to go outside for the very first time in her life a couple days ago. The doors were all open and people were moving furniture in and out and Ladybug sat for a long time just inside of the door. Then She carefully put her front two paws outside. After she stayed like that for several minutes she finally came out on the porch and sat for awhile. When she didn't get yelled at for being outside she started to carefully move off the porch. If someone went near her she ran back into the house. After several scares she finally got brave enough to start exploring the outside. Ladybug found the salad that grows from under the neighbors fence. she found the tall grass it is so much fun to hide in. Ladybug finally got brave enough to come with me and Mom while we went to visit the neighboring Siamese at the back glass doors on their deck. Ladybug enjoyed the going outside so much that She couldn't get her into the house for the night. But She is very smart and She left the back door open just a bit and went to the front of the house. When Ladybug came up to the front of the house She had someone quietly close the back door so Ladybug couldn't go out again. But then the next day She told Ladybug she could come and go as long as she came back at dark. So now Ladybug can go out if she wants to but she doesn't always want to now.

Well that's about all I have time for. She is getting up to put more things in boxes and none of us want Her to catch us on the computer. She doesn't know we can type!
