The Fur Babies that Likes to GO!

Before my fibro kicked up 

the last  5 years and got worse I

was a goer!

Always very social. 

Not so much these days.

But with me being a goer,

and

I worked full time

Dakota learned that when 

I showered, started getting

dressed, doing makeup...etc

he knew I was going somewhere.

It was a given that through the 

week when getting ready for 

work he would be going.

For those that do not know,

Dakota would go to my mom's

house everyday while I worked and 

played with her dogs. 

But weekends were different cause

I did not wake to an alarm and

I did not jump up to get ready.

So when I started getting ready

he knew. 

Sometimes he wants to be

sure that he is going to be

going so he would want out

and he would go sit

behind my car....

waiting! 

Retirement totally confused him!

Dakota sitting at the end of the d

drive behind the car...waiting

to go. 

Then comes Lily....

Shortly after getting her I took

her to a friends house to meet them.

Then another time to mom's to meet

her dogs. My daughter who 

works for vet told me, "mom

most people don't take their

cats places"! Then I learned

that cats don't general like to ride.

A month or so ago I was headed to

Sonic for lunch. I always let Dakota

ride on these trips. We went to the car

and I looked up and there was Lily looking

out the window at us. She had that

look on her face that told me she

did not understand why she was

not going. I went back in and 

put her in the carrier. 

She rode to Sonic with us.

Since that time I have house sat

for my brother several times and

I take Lily with me. 

Leaving my brothers house last

Sunday I put the carrier on the 

floor, tapped on the top and 

told Lily, "lets go bye bye"!

She came and got in the carrier.

Thinking that was once in a life

time thing. But....yesterday

I was going to Exxon and told

Dakota he could GO.

Lily being in the kitchen heard

that word and came running.

She jumped over her carrier

that I leave in the livingroom

and headed for the door. I laughed

but thought okay, lets try this.

I tapped on the top of the carrier

and said, "bye bye"...she

got in. So Lily got to ride to 

Exxon with us!

When I took her to the vet 

for her leg a couple months ago 

I let her out in the livingroom,

leaving the carrier sitting there with 

the door open. She would go inside

sometimes during the day to

nap. My daughter told me

that was good cause she would

not think the carrier was just

used for the VETS office

and be afraid to go in.

Both my babies are

AMAZING!
