 Christmas Kitty 09 X-Mas Card Good evening friends! Who remembers the tiny little kitten I found in the middle of the desert this year?? For those of who don’t remember or are new to the blog I found the smallest little kitty on the top of big rocky hill near the ocean in the middle of nowhere! The dogs went crazy when we first heard the meowing but instantly helped me flush the kitty out of a big mound of cactus and overgrown brush. Seconds later out popped this beautiful little homeless kitten and without a second thought I opened my big camera bag and carefully placed him inside for the long walk back to the car! Needless to say I had two dogs stuck to me like glue the whole way back to the car and were basically going crazy from the non-stop meowing coming from by bag. We immediately rushed him to the vet but to our surprise he was in pretty good health. Then over the course of a few weeks Aimee fed him powdered milk thru a syringe and then he gradually started eating on his own. I can’t remember how long we had him but as you can see I made good use of our new family member and photographed him constantly in all kinds of fun positions and figured why not use him for our Christmas card this year! Well the story has a great ending, my friend and co-worker Sorayda came by one evening to see him and it was love at first sight and he has been with her and her husband ever since and is now named Mundi for where he was found. Here in Curacao Mundi means the desert, the name just fits. Most of you who know me know I am not a big cat fan but this little guy stole our hearts, we enjoyed every minute with him and we are so thankful he got a great home, he’s one lucky cat!
We had a pretty busy day today, Aimee and I took the dogs to Saint Joris for a nice walk something we haven’t done together for a long time. It was so hot and windy by 10:00 that we were forced to go home. At 2:30 I did a dive down near Punda at the site of the new proposed Pen Resort Hotel. I was hired to take two VIP’s on a tour of the reef and show them the important corals that will need to be protected during the building of a new breakwater project. Most breakwater’s around Curacao are built will gigantic stones that are dumped into the water but this one will be done with steel making it safer and maintenance free and there should be far less damage to the reef during installation.
Well once again I just want to thank everyone who came to visit us this year for bringing needed supplies and gifts to us, it’s like Christmas six times a year!! Aimee and I also want to thank all our friends for all the help in the past and present helping to make our lives what they are today, we have countless friends that have done so much for us and we will never forget it. This year went by so fast and I still can’t believe I never got a vacation?? Yeah I know I live on a Caribbean island and I don’t need a vacation right?? We hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas!
Sunny Curacao regards, Barry, Aimee, Inca, Indi, Nila and Mundi!
