I always feel just a little bit guilty when we go on vacation. We always hire someone to come over each day and feed the cats while we’re gone, but other than that they don’t see anyone the whole time. And I always wonder if they worry that we’re never coming back. I’m sure they sit at the window a lot, just waiting and waiting.

I’m always relieved when we get back home and they’re still right there and happy to see us. It was especially cool last summer because Georgia immediately went up to Hazel, gave her a hug and said, “I missed you.” It always makes me happy to see her get along with them and seeing how fun it can be to have pets. Sometimes I wonder if she’ll have her own webcomic some day…
