Coitado Félix

Poor Felix. Two hours shy of my being home for a week, I up and left him for Brasilia. Now I do have to say that both Felix and I lucked out over the holidays as I had a house sitter for the entire time that I was gone [we crossed paths in the airport when I landed and she departed]. I must have done something rather worthy in the past to have deserved such perfect karma ... but I digress ... let's just say that knowing that Felix was being lovingly cared for allowed me a restful holiday as well. Fortunately Felix will only be on his own for a few days this time around, but it always breaks my heart to leave him since it is clear that he is always well aware of what is about to happen.
