Bob and I have completed our first housesit in Austin and have until Sunday before our next sit starts. We have scheduled a short get away to Comfort, Texas, a small town in the Texas Hill Country southwest of Austin. We left “our” two sweet cats about 1:00 this afternoon and were in Comfort by 3:00.
It is always bittersweet to leave pets, especially ones that we have sat for for a long time or multiple times. Pancho and Lefty are very sweet and definitely are up for a purr-filled snuggle. Lefty prefers a lap snuggle when you’re trying to work on the computer or when watching tv in the den. Pancho is all about snuggling in bed — usually somewhere on or near your head.


Not sure I wouldn’t react the same.


Bob got us a room at the Meyer Inn in Comfort. It has 2 large rooms plus the bathroom. Also, a fireplace, which will be especially nice tomorrow after the cold front blows through.




This afternoon/tonight we restocked our breakfast and lunch supplies at the local market and ordered a basil garlic pizza from Comfort Pizza to have while we watch the University of Texas Women’s Volleyball team play San Diego in the first game of the final four. Fingers crossed that they’ll advance. They are ranked #1 overall but have broken our hearts quite a few times over the years.
