Too Little Time

It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes I post that little Violette Noelle "Sprout" has been called away. There are no words to express the sadness and pain felt by family and friends.

You can find out more at the Cat Blogosphere or stop by Monty Q's and Darling Millie's to leave your condolences.

R & R Again

We all decided today would be an anything day. Momo and I opted to stay at the lodge and catch up on some girl talk and enjoy just being lazy . . .

. . . the quite one, Opus, took the time to do a little reading . . .



. . . sweet Roscoe enjoyed swimming with the hippos so much that he went back to the popular swimming hole and spent the day with his new NOMS friends . . . not sure where Karl and Ruis are or what they are up to, no one has seen them all day.



At the end of the day Opus and Roscoe squeeze a little more rest time and Momo and I, well we . . . we . . . . you get the idea.

Alligators

Today was spent getting to know our friends the alligators. They were quite pleasant though Karl and Ruis preferred to keep their distance while Opus and Roscoe got to know their new friends better.



Taking a swim with an alligator was so exciting. Getting to know them better I have decided that no more alligator purses for me!!

In the early evening Opus takes Momo & Roscoe out in the boat to scout for more gators to watch.

Hippos & The Missing Computer

The mystery has been solved as to what happened to the computer. It seems that Roscoe was talking to the hippos and telling them all about the blogging world and of the many friends that we have met along the way. They wanted to check things out so he let them borrow the computer in trade for a chance to swim with them.

While Karl and Ruis visited with the giraffes we got in a little R&R.

Happy NOMS Day !

I teleported back from the safari to use the home computer and wish all a Happy NOMS DAY, not of my species!!!!

Karl introduced me to NOMS friends and because of this I would like to recognize my first NOMS . . .

. . . a special Happy NOMS Day to my doggie sissie, Asta.

A Post Card For All

Dear Friends,

We are having a great time in South Africa. As you can see by the photo Ruis and Karl caught up with us. They arrived in the nick of time as they helped us get away from a native tribe. We were in hot water for awhile but it was just a little mix up and everything turned out OK. Now we have a new group of friends.

Soon our trip will be over but we still have some things planned such as seeing some alligators, rhinoceros, zebras, and giraffes.

I won't be posting until later in August as the computer has been misplaced, maybe the natives are borrowing it. I have looked for it every where but had no luck in finding it.

I hope all of you are having a great summer or getting ready for winter, depending where you live.

Looking looking forward to getting back home and resting up from our safari and getting back in touch with all of you. Please know that I am thinking of you. Please visit me while I am gone and don't forget me.

xoxoxoxo,
Sassy

Leopards

We started off our morning with quite a surprise. The hut we were sleeping in that night was surrounded by leopards. At first we were taken aback but soon found out that then were just as interested in us as we were interested in them.



After spending the day together and exploring we all took a giant cat nap while Karl kept an eye out for intruders.
