Every once in a while I get asked how come it’s called flounders great adventure and not Antonia’s great adventure. Well, there was a flounder he was a Tuxedo cat that I adopted many years ago. Flounder was with me for 19 and a half years. His great adventure was moving to Colombia and he enjoyed it. He started the Blog Flounders great adventure by telling about Colombia’s history and what we did every day. After a while, we decided to do it once a week. Flounder like Antonia sits by my side while I try to write something you’ll like. Flounder got sick one day and after a year of fighting it, I decided he needed to go to rest. I still have his first toy and the first Blog we wrote together. I also was given a cast of his footprint. He got to meet Antonia and they were actually friends, it was Antonia that recognized the end was near for Flounder. We will keep the title for the blog and his Facebook page for a while longer because I still miss him very much, don’t get me wrong Antonia is a real help with the blog so long as she’s not snoring. She’s a great companion on our walks every day. She is adopted and is not young she’s 11 we think she is also crazy. She is a Labradoodle, which is half Lab and half Poodle. They do that so she doesn’t shed or cause allergic reactions. So if you ever decide you want a pet go to your nearest shelter and adopt one, get an older one and they will be so grateful they’ll love you very much. This is FATS, the Spirit of Flounder, and our friend ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia.
