Louise's Opinion

Thelma and I watching the rain in a Walmart parking lot.

Hi,
I'm Louise. My female staff person and personal chef, Sharon, calls me Lulu. She calls my sister Thelma, Telly. I don't know why but it seems to make her happy. Keeping the staff happy is important. Thelma and I could care less because we don't answer to anything they call us. After all we are cats. No self respecting feline would ever give credence to a moniker that the staff picks. Besides I have heard Loren, my male staff person and personal chauffeur, refer to me as the "Grey !@#$%" and Thelma as the "Devil Cat". When the time is right I'll get even with him, but more on that later.

We are getting ready for our big trip to the wilds of Arizona. Loren has been reading all about the Southwest. He has told about many of the places we plan to visit. After Xmas we are leaving Dallas and driving all the way across Texas to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. I suspect they won't let my sister and I actually go into the caves, but I will instruct Loren on proper picture taking techniques. Then when he returns from the caves he can show me all the wonderful sights.

After that we are going to visit the aliens in Roswell, some rockets in White Sands, a place called the Organ Pipe Mountains, a 1500 year old red hot lava flow in the Valley of Fire, and Thelma wants especially to visit Smokey Bear Historical State Park were Smokey is buried.

Then we are on to Tucson. Sharon and Loren want to visit their niece Celeste and her boyfriend Matt. I don't know them. But I'm sure they want to meet me. If they are nice I will rub against there legs and allow them to stroke my magnificent fur. If not, I will ignore them. I may ignore them even if they are nice. That's just the way I am.

More later. . .
