The Tolberts come to KC

Martha and Larry (and of course Baxter) came to KC for an extended weekend. Earlier in the week, it looked like it would rain the entire time, but the Tolberts brought good weather with them and it turned out to be a perfect weekend. Larry, Daddy, and Tim played some golf; Martha, Leslie, and Shelby bought some shoes; they took in a Royals victory; ate lots of great food; and threw in a badminton game to boot! Beauregard (one of the most loving cats on the planet) did not choose to show Baxter the love and was so annoyed by it all decided to throw up to show his displeasure; while Dixie (one of the most hateful cats on the planet - so very unlike her namesake) seemed to secretly enjoy engaging in long staredowns with the Bax (not so oddly enough, Baxter was the first to blink and run away). By the end of the weekend, they appeared to co-exist without too much hardship. Martha will have to report back on how long it takes for poor Baxter to recover from the stress of it all (I'm sure Bob is thrilled he got to stay at the Pet Safari). The animals might have had some stress, but those of us with opposable thumbs had a blast. It was truly a delightful weekend!Martha and Larry at the "K"Martha and the parental units
