The resident cat Zeus has been told his family is on the airplane now. So, lots of purring going on here.  He went into the Mistress bedroom this morning for a chat. I could hear them all talking, and eventually, he waltzed back out. Through the night the Mistress wasn't amused at his calling to a cat out the ranch slider. She wouldn't let him out, so they just growled at the door, but he soon got sick of this and went down to his family's bedroom. 

These humans went out as per usual, so Trixie and I continued exploring this place. It is so big here and we reckon the Mistress's house would fit in here 3 times at least. It is keeping them fit, which is really good for them, but our we legs are exhausted, and it is raining here, so we are limited as to what we can do.

The Mistress is on packing and cleaning duties, so there is less to do on Thursday morning. His Lordship has another hospital pre-admission appointment earlier now than planned so they don't want to be late. 

We continue to be on our best behavior here, and we try to stay out of the way, which is hard at times with the crutches in her hands. The Mistress is so frustrated with not getting an appointment until next year with the specialist. She wanted to be off them before our trip to Tauranga. Time is running out for her, so she has 2 choices, "like it or lump it". 

I wonder if the Granddaughter has twigged yet that we are coming? The Mistress sure hopes she hasn't as she wants this as a surprise, but girls aged 10 are pretty good at eves dropping and not letting on. His Lordship is worried about the bad weather up there and more flooding going on. They are not that keen on wind while flying either, so this could be fun, I am sure. Not having been on a plane before I do not know what they are talking about, and probably best if we don't know they say.
