Flat Max – Greyhounds In Gettysburg
.
Last Friday, we traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to attend Greyhounds in Gettysburg. We were honored to have a special guest go with us…Flat Max of Max The Quilt Cat.
“No, Flat Max.  I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to drive. Thank you, though.”
“See how comfy it is riding with greyhounds. They’re very cat-like in their appreciation of a good nap.”
When we arrived at the hotel, Flat Max had a few concerns.
“Of course you get to sleep on the bed. You’re a kitty and kitties always get the best sleeping accommodations.”
Flat Max was still getting to know us. He was a little concerned about our style. He showed me his stylish rain coat.
Imagine his delight when he saw my coat. All fears were put to rest. Flat Max knew he was in good hands.
Flat Max was ready to go.
Saturday, we went shopping at The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg where the Greyhounds in Gettysburg vendors were located.
“Be careful, Flat Max! That’s pretty high up.”
That evening, we took Flat Max to The Dobbin House.Â
The Dobbin House is the oldest building in Gettysburg.
“No, Flat Max; that’s not The Dobbin House. We’re going inside to eat.”Â
Sunday, we drove around portions of the Gettysburg battlefield.
Flat Max enjoyed looking at the cannons.
And, the long lines of snake rail fences.
Flat Max and I were both overwhelmed with the privilege of standing on this hallowed ground where the fate of the United States was secured through the sacrifice of so many. May God Bless America.
We had a great time traveling with Flat Max. I hope he’ll join us on future travels.

Well we’ve never met Flat Max before but he seems like he might be the sort of kitty I’d really get along with…. He’s obviously a fairly cultured kind of a bloke, so I’m sure we’d be mates….. 😉 Deccy xxx
You and Flat Max look as though you are having a good time there in Gettysburg.
It is a strange feeling to be standing somewhere of historical significance, isn’t it, you can almost feel the atmosphere.

What a great post… Flat Max sent me a post card and said he had a wonderful time with you. Thanks so much for including him in your trip.
pawhugs, Original Max
Flat Max definitely looks like he enjoyed traveling with you. He is definitely a light traveler. LOL
The Dobbin House was another stop on our ghost tour! Did you know the preacher and his first wife had ten kids, then she disappeared, presumably dead in childbirth with number ten and he remarried a woman with nine kids. It was a pretty neat building, and I really want to go inside it the next time we go!
My goodness, Flat Max… you sure do get around! And it looks and sounds like you had a GREAT time!!!
He sure gets around!

I brought Flat Zoe too, but she stayed in the car mostly. 🙂
