Sammy comes to Wales!


We are very excited, as we are joining in with the mammoth trip around the world for Sammy today. He is a gentlecat of a certain age and uncertain health and not only that, he is a very kind kitty and a great friend to many, including me! So today we in Blogsville are giving him a trip of a lifetime, showing him the sights of where we live, so he will have lots to remember and reflect on.

I thought long and hard about what to show Sammy of the beautiful place I live and decided the best place was right outside the window of my house!



Pretty, isn't it!!  In the distance is the Snowdonia mountain range and just in front of that and behind the trees is the Menai Strait.  So I thought Sammy would like to go for a ride on the water :-)



We have, of course, used body doubles for the photo shoot, as the real Sammy and Austin are napping after a few celebratory niptinis ;-) !!! 

That bridge you can see is the famous Menai suspension bridge which was built by Thomas Telford in 1826 to connect the Isle of Anglesey (where I live) with the mainland.

Next I thought Sammy would like to trek up Wales' highest mountain, Snowdon. Unfortunately, the body doubles got a bit lost!


And they had to call out the RAF!!


But all's well that end's well! 
I love you, buddy!


We hope you enjoyed the trip! Keep smiling, Sammy, we all love you! xx

*UPDATE*
❤️ Today is the day Sammy also takes his final trip and we will miss him so very much ❤️

  25. Austin, we do not believe for a moment that you two Cat Scouts got lost. You just wanted to ride in that cool helicopter. Good job, guys. We will have a memorial post for Sammy tomorrow. And there will be a Memorial Service at Cat Scouts on Monday. Not certain of the time yet. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
