Ireland or Bust!

Some time ago Socks and his sisters, Scylla and Charybdis, suggested that we should all go to Dublin for St Patrick's Day. The idea caught on and a bunch of us decided to make an extended visit. Opus and Roscoe kindly invited us to stop for a picnic at Pisa by the famous Leaning Tower on our way to Ireland. The boys are shown here in their van going to the site to set up for the picnic...

When in Italy, nothing but pizzas would do for a picnic lunch...

Front – l. to r. Charlie, Sassy, Momo-dog, Emil in the big hat, Charybdis, Karl, Scylla, Mrs Oz, Asta and Stanley

To try and work off the calories, we all trooped up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and played Thundering Herds of Elephants, up, around and down the Tower. Scarry, I tell you!

Oh dear! I knew we shouldn't have done it. Look what happened....

We were just too much for the famed Tower. It leaned a little too much under our weight and activity. Caput! One more crime to be levied against the furries by the incompetent humans - all their fault for producing defective structures.

After this we thought we'd better clear out and take our furry butts away before angry locals start to stone us. Here we are, in our superduper flying van . Ireland or bust!!!!!

DUBLIN, IRELAND

On arrival we checked into the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel, overlooking the beautiful Dublin Bay.

Asta and Stanley have taken a private cottage in the nearby village to have some together time.

Here we are, all settled in our rooms and looking out to admire the scenery and checking out the arriving guests.....

As you can see we have taken over the central tower and a whole floor of the hotel.

In the late afternoon, Socks and I decided to have a stroll around the surrounding countryside. Here we are, in front of a picturesque old farm house....


We returned for dinner at the PJ Restaurant at the hotel. After dinner, we sissies (Momo-kitty, Sassy, Momo-dog and Asta) went back to our luxuriously-appointed suite for a good chat.


Then, it was time to snoozzzzz, as we have another full and exciting day tomorrow.
Stay tuned.....there will be daily report for the rest of our stay in Ireland, culminating in the big Parade and Costume Ball on St Patrick's Day on March 17.
