Home Alone

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Destiny Real Estate Cambridge, MA

Champ, a very handsome cat, sitting in the window looking outIt's been a fairly busy spring market this year.

 

Too many days (nights!) I came home to this. 

 

Or worse - Champ would be in the window as I pulled out the driveway.

 

Home alone for another long day.

 

The guilt!  It kills me.

 

I'm doing my darndest to spend some quality time with him this weekend.

 

Hope you get some time off this holiday weekend to enjoy a bit of R and R and quality time with your loved ones - be they feline, canine and/or human.

Elizabeth, hope you and Champ have some good R&R time this coming holiday weekend! Have you considered a friend for Champ to play with? Or cuddle with? There are lots of cats out there who need homes... just a thought..

Wow, that face speaks volumes! Since I'm working all weekend (you, too, probably) I vow to take Monday OFF! Life has been lopsided here this year, and it's time for an R&R day. Happy 4th to you, Liz -- must be extra-special in Cambridge and Boston.

Hi Ralph ~ He's a handsome dude for sure. Have a great holiday!

Hi Shannon ~ I think about another cat but Champer adores being my one and only. I leave a couple of TVs on for him.  Maybe I should get him some videos. Believe me - I could adopt way too many cats if I let myself.

Hi Lottie ~ Knock on wood I'm trying to reserve the days.  But you know how that goes...  And of course it occurred to me that I need to do a 4th of July post asap - those are always huge.  Have a great weekend - and don't work too hard!

Hi Leigh Ann ~ doesn't it pull at the heart strings?! Enjoy the holiday.

He's just adorable! I have to leave my Cooper kittie alone too. He's always right at the door when I get home. I think he has his own routine he does when I'm gone. enjoy the 4th! jay

It is sad when you leave, and our pets have not had their allotment of attention!    They have such sad eyes!

Champ is actually annoyed you are blocking his view of the birdy he has been watching for the last two hours.  hehe. Do have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Judy ~ Champ knows how to push my buttons for sure.  The guilt!

Hi Jay ~ He is handsome beyond words - feline perfection!  Wouldn't you love to know just what they do when we're gone? 

Hi Joan ~ Who knew that I would feel such remorse for leaving him?  Yeegads!

Hi Larry ~ Ha! Champ has no front claws (not my doing that's for sure - but have to say it's convenient in some respects - he can only bite me - not claw me!) and so he pretty much ignores birds.  I think it's because to admit they were of interest, despite his inability to catch one, would be a blow to his ego.

Hope everyone has a marvelous weekend - and gets some well deserved time off.  Happy 4th!

Hi Liz, Nice to be greeted by a feline friend.  The good thing about cats is they sleep most of the day.  Hope you had good r&r time with Champ over the 4th weekend.

Hope you are well.

My miniature Dachshund, Muffin, sits in the window, too. She doesn't like staying home alone either. Whenever we walk in the house she bounces up and down as if she hasn't seen us in years.

Liz:  What a cute little guy.  Sure... it brings out the guilt, but it sure is nice to be missed so incredibly much.  Give the little guy a hug for me... and a purr or two from my own kitty, Miss Mollie T.
