July 11, 2011 - Mon. - Part 1 of Bear and the Flying Fish

"Bear and the Flying Fish"

Draft Part 1 - 07-11-11

Bear and I leave home lock stock and barrel as they say, and fly to Freemantle, Western Australia - from there we take a steam ship to Victoria Harbor on an island in the Indian Ocean - all the time we are traveling - I keep telling the him what a great place that we are moving to and he will see Flying Fish!  

Now the word, "Fish", always gets his attention, we had an aquarium and he loved watching the fish and even a time or too dipped in a paw......but he didn't enjoy getting it wet.

Once we arrive I learn than he has to be quarantined for a week, with a nice old couple, Mary and John who live in Victoria Harbor. They take in the cats that have to stay for the week before letting their owners take them to their new home.

Since our new home wasn't even started, I have arranged for Bear to stay longer with Mary and John. 

I have shown the cat a picture of the Flying Fish and Mary and John have reinforced that the he will see the Flying Fish, but he has to wait until the house is done so that we can move in.  

One day he spies a piece of paper - with a picture of the "Flying Fish" on it - but he doesn't realize that the piece of paper is a flier announcing the "Grand Opening of the Flying Fish Restaurant"!  

Enough, is enough, he just takes it in his mind to grab that piece of paper and bounds out the open front door......and is off to find me and the "Flying Fish".

Stay turned for more about Bear and the "Flying Fish"
