You haven’t heard from me for a few days. On Tuesday morning my husband and some friends decided we wanted Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, so we drove 3 1/2 hours to Philadelphia for them. Yes, that’s what we did.
On the way home we stopped in New Jersey to watch our Ice Princess practice her new routine. Our friends were impressed, and our Ice Princess was so excited to see us. We had dinner with her and her mom, then drove home.
Arrangements had to be made for Doodles while we were gone. He needs to be fed, walked, loved, and given his medications three times a day. Our son babysat in between working and working and working out.
I texted him with our estimated time of arrival. We found Doodles sound asleep next to a cozy fire with his food nearby, the lights on, his baby goose, Bach playing on our Echo, and the TV on.
He is worth the trouble.
I will myLot and try to catch up on notifications until I have to get ready for a Halloween dinner at our friends’ house. Happy Halloween to those of you who enjoy it!

Oh my what a pampered cat. I think I will move in for some pampering too! I am house trained if that is any help!
Glad you had a great day out sounds funny to drive for that long but when the urge hits you it just has to be done!

That's so cool and sounds like a perfect week...also the arrival to your house sounds like from a scene of a fancy movie

I am beginning to wonder if your cat is really a cat as it seems more like he's a king!

Doodles certainly looks all comfy and cozy.
Enjoy your Halloween party...are you wearing costumes?

That sure does look like a warm and cozy room! I wouldn't mind cuddling up next to Doodles and taking a nap myself!

@DianneN Not at all. I woke up at 3:30am this morning, wide awake! I tried to go back to sleep, but not luck, so I just got up and started my day early.

. I was so exhausted from the weekend that I slept like a baby. So did Doodles. He didn’t get off the bed until I brought him downstairs for breakfast and a walk. At least it was sunny!
