Alex serenaded me

and we left CampOhio singing...

Tunia! 

You are the Bunia...

The hunkie noonia...

Little Petunia!

(Grandma says Alex sings like Frank Sinatra- so that must be a good thing!)

Dad has me eating out of his hand

Boo too!

Today's the day! A Farewell to CampOhio

Now's the time for me to say

"I'll see ya" in my own sweet way

Au revoir, auf wiederschen

Adios. sayonara mean the same

But the one I really like to hear

The one I always hold most dear

Is CIAO...tho now

It seems to refer

Not to my empty feeding dish

But to my little family wish!

Petunia Kleinbub, poet- in- residence

Is it time for my 3rd breakfast?

You can buy my love, you know...

My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble

Hey, la- di-da, my boyfriend's back!

Hanging with my Peep...

Wow- look at that board now!

I'd better get busy practicing my "oh- were you gone?" attitude!

Patience young grasshopper

( that's from Dad's favorite movie- ask him to show you his crane kick!)

The board is changing every day!

It's exciting that you're FINALLY coming, Mom and Dad- but I think I'm really going to miss Boo. She's learned so much from me-just look at that stare!  I'm really liking this mentoring role- and face it- I'm a natural!

Imagine my excitement yesterday when Jon at the Spa said my family was back!

but it was only Grandma and Grandpa...sigh.. 

Boo and I did notice a change on the CampOhio arrivals board tho...and this morning it looked even better!

This waiting is exhausting!

Zzzzzzzzz...

And waiting...

Hello-o-o-o.....

I'm waiting....

Cue the violin crescendo! Bring in the little birds carrying banners!

Is Italy finally over? 

I definitely need to remember how to cop an attitude again- I think I've gotten soft!  Look at that total lack of interest!

A word from the spa...

I can't snap photos here to "protect identities"- sheesh- looks like I'll have to use some recovered ones or new pics from the morning we came.

Sooooo...I noticed Grandma changed the arrival/ departure board that morning. Now we ALL know who Alex is because he's famous like me! But what can the second part really mean?  Could my dream finally be coming true????

Psst...Milo...listen up...I hear you're getting your teeth cleaned today...

Word of warning- I had that done a while ago and woke up missing my front chompers! Watch out!

My latest update...Petunia Kleinbub here...I should have known

when Grandma's arrival/ departure board kept changing AND she was scurrying around smiling. Next thing you know, we're back in the carriers and at the Spa. I, of course, registered my displeasure by upping my breakfast while Boo cried the whole trip there. Oh well- at least I have my phone and I could get on the Internet right away this time. And I'll get to see Audrey again- hey- everyone needs to be babied sometime! (That's me in the blue- Grandma took me in first because I was hyperventilating)

Proud to say...

I've been a card- carrying member of the Clean Plate club since 2001!

(of course now it includes Boo's plate too!)

What am I doing?

Waiting my turn, of course!

Did someone say Breakfast?

It must be 6:30 am somewhere, right?

Thanks a lot, Grandma!

Yesterday a cleaning bug bit Grandma ( we are at camp, after all) and she "cleaned up" the pictures on our phones- literally wiped them out! Boo and I heard her mumbling about too many selfies when she was doing it (gasp!).

Grandpa was talking to some young guys at work about photo recovery ( tho why other race car drivers would know such things is beyond me) in hopes of getting at least some of them back. 

So, Mom and Dad-as you always say- looks may be fleeting- but the written word is eternal! It's prose for now!

Olympic inspiration- air springboard diving for cats!

Tuck and pike

I overheard Grandma say that I'm rubbing off on Boo

Isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? I take it as a compliment !

My third essential...when outside always wear sunglasses or a hat...

Protect those eyes- we only get one set! 

Ladies...squint lines are not pretty...and don't you think those shades make the guys look cool? Of course Boo thinks Grandpa always looks good !
