Flounders Great Adventure
October 18, 2011
Greetings my name is Flounder and I’m a cat living in Bello Colombia South America with my two friends Ruby and Jeff.And being a cat I tend to be easily distracted so the timeline might not be exact.That said lets get this show on the road.I wasn’t always in Colombia,I started out in New Jersey USA the parking lot of by Meadow lands arena Where,the story is i was rescued by Martin Breudeaur a hockey player of some renown I’m told, and after a couple of adoptions(I tended to hide and bite in the beginning)I ended up in Hanover at the Mt Pleasant Animal shelter.That’s where I found Jeff,a nice enough guy,we spent the next three years living together in Parsippany NJ then he met Ruby(who’s really cool)and they got married.We spent the next 4yrs living in the same house as before Jeff owned and operated a cleaning service that specialized in professional offices (lawyer’s,Dentists etc.) and Ruby worked at Wal-mart and hated every minute of it.Work finally got to be to much of a drag for them so they decide to retire to Ruby’s home town of Bello Colombia because the cost of living is so much less there.
We left the United states in the morning of July 29 2011 I had fly in the cargo hold no food,no movie but I was given some good drugs just before takeoff.We arrived about 5 in the afternoon and Ruby’s whole family was there to greet us,It took about an hour to get me out of customs.We then proceeded to our new home.I must say the trip was through some beautiful country,of course the cameras were all still packed in the luggage,I’ll make sure he gets some pics and post them later.ally we arrived at our new address(good thing because the drugs were wearing off and I had to pee)Which got interesting because we didn’t have any furniture except a small convertible couch in the living room and everybody was there.They all hung around for awhile.I think they wanted to make sure Jeff didn’t change his mind and bolt for the airport to fly back to the states.Once everyone had left Jeff and Ruby settled down in bed to get some well deserved sleep.I on the other hand prowled around and finally settled in a closet for the night. Day one in Colombia had come to a close.
Great job! Flounder. I hope you keep telling us your stories, and I hope you like Colombia as much as I do. I will miss you in the States though.
