December 25 – 27, 2009 Our New Addition

We had a wonderful Christmas dinner here at RoVer’s Roost RV Park (an Escapee Co-op Park) – Lots of good food and great company.  Our dinner companions were Lynne, Fred, and Steve (who we also shared Thanksgiving dinner at North Ranch, Congress, AZ. )  I volunteered to help set up and clean up and met more people – I really like this park.  And we also spent the last few days, just hanging out and visiting.

So for our big news…. On Saturday, 26th, we were on our way to see the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.  On the way is a Petsmart so, of course, I wanted to stop in (they were also having an adoption event – you know where I am going with this….LOL).

SOOOOO here is the new addition to our family:

 12-26-09 Casa Grande (0)

12-26-09 Casa Grande (6)a

12-26-09 Casa Grande (12)

12-26-09 Casa Grande (14)

12-26-09 Casa Grande (15)

12-26-09 Casa Grande (22)

12-26-09 Casa Grande (18)

He is about 5 months old.  According to the shelter volunteer, he was left at the shelter about 2 months ago.  He has been fixed and has his shots.  The shelter named him “DUSTY” so for now we are keeping that name.

He is such a good kitten, loves to play and also to be held.  As friends have stopped by, he let them pet him and even sat in their laps.  He did well in the car so we are hoping he will do well when we travel in the MH.

He was listed as a domestic short hair, but his fur is very soft and a little longer.  We think he may be a Maine Coon mix.  His paws are huge so we are going to have a big cat or a small one with big feet – LOL!

So the past two days, we have been spending time with him (I think today he started to train us – LOL!!!).

Oh, we never did make it to the ruins so stay tuned – :-))

Congratulations on the new member of your family. Dusty seems like an appropriate name, considering he/she is from the desert and probably familiar with dust storms. We had a very nice Christmas with lots of family and a relatively easy going New Years Eve playing Wii at a neighborhood party. We're ready for a much improved new year and wish you the best in 2010. Hope to see you somewhere along the highway.

Congratulations on the newest addition to your RV family. Little Dusty is very cute and will love traveling with you. Hope you had a nice New Year Eve. We're looking forward to a much improved year. 2009 wasn't one of the better years. Hope to see you some time along the road in 2010.

Hi Ron and Bonnie,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also. Sounds like you had a great time..
It will be interesting to see how Dusty reacts when we move the Motorhome...
And I know you will have a better 2010. Hopefully we will see you on the road.
