NEA RA 2011

So many new  things happened to me this past week.  Mom took me to this big huge place with over 7,000 teachers!  What a wild time I had!  Mom and I were interviewed by a reporter from the NEA and she helped us tell our story.  Everyday we were stopped by people who wanted to know all about us.  Some were nice and friendly but some called my mom very ugly names or they made fun of her.  I did my job and kept focus on Mom so she was safe.  Everyday I worked very hard.  It was scary to be in such a huge space with so many people.  If I thought an airport at Christmas was bad this was much worse.  I've got to go but will be back to tell you more about each day.  Mom kept a journal of each day so that she can you all posted as to what happened. Mom was approached by someone that thinks she should write our story in a book for kids.  That's going to take a lot of  thinking to make that decision.  Well, I've got to go.

Today's Mom's last day of work. Yea!!!!

toilet training

THE BIGGEST ISSUE TRAVELING OVERNIGHT IS THAT MOM HAS TO BRING A LITER BOX.  I HATE IT WHEN IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE HOTEL AND THEN I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LITER.  THE OTHER TIMES I HATE LITER IS WHEN MOM FORGETS TO CLEAN THE BOX.  SO I STARTED TRAINING TO BE ABLE TO USE THE "BIG BOY" POTTY.  TONIGHT IS THE FIRST NIGHT.  GRANDPA SAID I BETTER BE TOTALLY TRAINED BECAUSE GRANDMA MAY FORGET TO REMOVE THE POTTY SEAT BEFORE SHE PEE'S.  MOM THINKS THAT I AM PRETTY SMART AND THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS REALLY FAST.  IF I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE NEA CONVENTION THIS SUMMER I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TRY MY HARDEST.

CityKitty

Tonight I ordered a toilet training kit.  My mom didn't know I use her card but I'm sure she won't mind.  I was watching Shark Tank and couldn't believe it.  I won't have to put my paws in litter any more.  Just think, when I travel my mom won't have to bring a litter box!!!!!!!!  I will keep you posted on how things go.

Connections

My dad fell earlier this week and cracked a rib.  Mom went through the same thing in the fall.  But their new addition to the family, Tigger, has been by his side.  Most of the time he has been with Dad, but he is sharing his time with Mom.  It is wild that this little guy has connected with them so quickly.  Unlike the cat who lives next door to me, Betty Lou.  While cat sitting this time she was hidden away all week until she charged after me.  Wow!  As I tried to shut the door she was running so fast and with such determination she hit her head on the door.  I was truely affraid for her saftey when she then tried to get to me through the window and got caught in the blinds. She finally got out of the blinds and continued to carry on for awhile.  Betty Lou is a one woman cat and thank goodness she has Pat.

The newest addition.

Last weekend was very exciting for Cosmo.  He met the newest addition to the Zanitsch family.  Mom and dad were presented with a 2 month old male kitten.  He is an orange tabby who will keep my parents very busy.  Cosmo put up with the little one and all the playing.  On Tuesday both of them just dropped.  They could not keep their eyes open.

His first train ride!

Hey Mom, this is a really big place

Wow! We have a lot of luggage!

I'm getting very sleepy............
