ahhh Texas

"Don't Mess with Texas," this is Texas's "please don't litter" sign.

We are in San Antonio now. Home of the Alamo, the San Antonio Rose and a beautiful river walk area. The river walk has stores, restaurants and small boats that you can take to cruise down the walk. It is very pretty, with covered bridges and roads over top of the riverwalk. Reminded me of the way Venice looks in the tourist magazines.

The infamous Alamo; of Davy Crockett, James bowie and "remember the Alamo" fame. Remember? The Alamo consists of a very beautiful stone church with artifacts from the 1836 stand/battle/massacre. Along with some resurrected stone walls. It was neat seeing this famous spot.

Speaking of Crockett...We ate a late lunch in Shilos Delicatessen (tasty German food) and there was an elderly man using a walker wearing a racoon hat, complete with a tail. I thought Jack should get one.. a hat not a walker. But he declined.

Speaking of Jack.. had his first hot birthday... hot as in weather, complete with presents, chocolate cake and of course a Mexican Dinner. A first for a lot of things. Happy Birthday Jack.

Meow!

Nathan heard me meow this morning and reminded me that I have not blogged in a while. He thought I was meowing because I heard his voice on the skypeyyy thingy… Really I was meowing because I had been up for at least 5 minutes and I had not been fed yet. But don’t tell Nathan that.

Hmmph, so while I have the time, as it is only a mere 30 degrees F. here this am, (wherever here is. we moved again. I don’t understand why we didn’t stay in the warm yard. 77 plus was perfect for me to sleep away the day… of course with ac as needed) … however I digress: I will not be going outside in this cold. So I can blog.

Although it is true that I:

• make this journey bearable by demanding my particular wants when I want them ( hence the meowing this morning)
• tolerate the foreign food and not my usual canned Canadian delights
• found a use for the back of the couch... a viewing spot for when my house is stopped. (Saw a red jay yesterday and was only prevented reaching my prey by the window. Hmmph sigh).
• trained both robin and jack to attend my every need. Jack was a bit tough, but I’ve worked him around, using the suckky kitty look.. works every time.
• stand still while the leash is put on. I can get out of it anytime I really want to, so… I can be generous and let them believe that it is working. Hmmph
• have decided to go along with the expedition and allow them to plan and execute the perfect holiday for moi!

I will never, and I mean never poop outside again!
