9/28/06 (Thursday): This is a very sad day for us. We had Monkey euthanized this morning. Her kidneys have been failing for about a month now, and she had a very bad night last night. We decided early this morning that it was just a matter of timing and we were going to need to do it sooner or later. We're replacing the flooring in the camper and getting ready to make a very long trip back to Florida, and it just didn't seem fair to put her through that.
Monkey has been a joy to us for 19 years since we found her in our front yard where she was almost killed by a pack of dogs. She was quirky, smart, affectionate and funny. We'll miss her.

- We took early retirement from careers as Executive Assistant (Joyce) and Lawn Care company owner (Wiley). We have been full-time RV'rs since March, 2006. We've taken our RV to Maine, Michigan, California, North Carolina and everything in between. We live in Florida in the winters and travel in the summers. It's a tough life, but someone has to live it!

Thoughts are with you...19 years sure is a long time you guys must have been great parents :)
She was actually about 20 years old because the vet thought she was at least a year old when she foundn us. That's about 100 years old in people years.
I hear you're having a boy--congrats!

I'm really sorry to hear about Monkey. She was a cool cat! She had a long and exciting life...
Love,

I'm so sorry about Monkey. I've donated to my local cat pet shelter in Monkey's memory. Also, thank you for sharing your rv experiences with a future (3 years to go) fulltimer.
Dear Anonymous: Thank you so much for your donation in Monkey's memory. We miss her very much. We donated her belongings to the local animal shelter. We'd be happy to share our experiences with Workamping with you any time. It's a great lifestyle!
