At the point in time I was looking out on the outer world from Miss Puerto Rico's Miss Puerto Rico was boarding a plane in Charlotte, North Carolina for the final leg of her latest return to her home island.
Seems like I was on catsitting duty just a week or so ago, because, well, I was.
The day Miss PR flew out of town, a couple weeks ago, the air was freezing with snow falling and the roads slippery. That day was about as bad as winter gets in Texas. And now, just a short time later the weather has turned almost summer-like, rendering sitting outside looking at the view from Miss PR's to be a non-chilly, enjoyable experience.
It is a sad reason Miss Puerto Rico returned to her home island a week after returning from visiting her mom and dad for a week. Miss Puerto Rico got one of those calls no one wants to get, with that call telling her that her mom had passed away. At 88 years Miss Puerto Rico's mom had lived a long, happy life.
Last night I think Tasha, she being the cat who I am babysitting, was in mourning mode, because a couple times she had bouts of very mournful, loud, meowing.
Usually Tasha acts irritated that I have invaded her space, but lately she has been being more friendly, coming out of her hiding space to see me. I think this may because she knows I'll give her one of her special treats.
Currently, unless plans change, I am on catsitting duty til March 4.
I knew it couldn't be good she was going back so soon. Please tell her I am very sorry, even if she doesn't know me. It is always hard to lose a parent, no matter how old they are.
ReplyDeleteCD, I shall relay your condolences when next I speak to Miss PR. She checks the blog when she's on the island, but I suspect she won't be doing that this time.
