So, any news on when the group will make it's appearance stateside?

There may be a hiccup in the process of me relocating. I should know more in a couple of days *frustrated grumble*

I'm still hoping to ship them out around the end of the month, assuming I'm still moving.

Keep us posted Hutch! I am ready on this end.

I've said it before, but tonight is seems worth repeating, even if it is only to remind myself: My four loveable fur-turds are damn cute.

Even the nippy boys & Gwyn who was in 'conquest of the new world' mode...
Even at 0200 when they bark like the building is on fire...
Wouldn't trade 'em for the world

They are so sweet aren't they???

Hey I got a couple of things for you I'm dropping off at Kim's I need you to try out...

Two types of OE (open Environment) pouches. I'm testing them now. I hope they will help out in the arid environment you may or may not transfer to.

So I hope your fuzzbutz are traveling soon!!!

Dawn... you're awesome!! I'm hoping with A/C that won't be too critical, but I'm willing to have my gliders QC anything you make! They'd probably have been happier with that here: 31 dC with 60% humidity all week!!! Blah! I'll miss all the fresh bakeries & cafes, but days like today it seems like a fair trade.


My four fuzzy turds have again shown how smart that are able to be when motivated. So...

I'm not my best in the morning. I try to remember to take out thier food tray before heading to base, but really it's 50/50. Lately, I though I've been doing much better, no old tray when I go to put dinner in... even though I don't -remember- taking it out. Hmmm...

Well, I noticed I was getting low on thier dinner trays, so I look in their cage. They've been stashing the trays under & between their wheels then piling toys, blankets, & nesting materials in front of them. I cleaned it up before I thought to take pictures.

Seriously though, hoarding empty food trays - then HIDING them?!?!

You are much too young to have Sometimers

To all the above!!!

They are just making sure that your "Sometimers" doesn't forget to bring a fresh tray!!!! Lol!

That way when you get home, if you look in the cage and don't see a dish you will know they need a fresh dish of food.

Or maybe they are clearing the table for you and hiding the dishes so they don't have to clean them! Lol!

My only defense is that my pre-caffeine brain is running at stall until a caffeine source has been imbibed... sometimes a second.




That may be likely, they can see into my kitchen... maybe picking up my habits

Alright... due to the nature of the military & the *ahem* that I work for, out of the two solutions they offered me, they went with a third option: I'm now going to llinois.

It pushes my return to US soil back a month, but still coming... & with Feather's aide, my fuzzies will beat me there so they do not need to suffer the trama of the moving process.

Wow... Well at least you won't be in Texas again. Lol! A bit of different scenery at least. Lol!!!

I just left Feather's with my Joey(who is nameless and will be till his ejacket comes off... more on that later). I was hoping to meet the infamous " Round Table" Troup... Oh well...

Karen, that's true. We'll be like neighbors. Howdy (soon to be maybe) neighbor!


Of course Karen, that makes us neighbors too!

Scott AFB? Outside of StLouis?

That puts you almost middle between me and Feather. Wow.

Just about 6 hours from me. What a lucky guy to be so close to all these ladies

Isn't it every man's dream to be surounded by lovely ladies? Maybe I need to send the AF a thank you note.

Yep. I'm told it's a nice area from someone who was stationed there; he wants to go back.

I personally think you should be in Wisconsin, we have Air Force stuff here in Madison and there is the VA hospital......

sounds like someone is getting a little stingy, not mentioning any names...

Yeah, what Terry said!!!

When we traveled to Wisconsin to pick up Squirt, it was beautiful!!!!

But greater St Louis Area is really nice too. Lots of things to do. Lots of places to go not far from there. I'm not a fan of metro, but your base is far enough away that it isn't an issue. Lots of history around there too.

You will not be bored unless you choose to...

I was in St. Louis for a day once two summers ago, I rode the arch of course which was awesome, I had some gooey butter cake thing that was pretty good I had some homemade I've cream that was probably the best I ever had, but hands down the MOST FUN THING EVER. Was a trip to the city museum. I would drive the nine hours again just to visit that place once more.

At 0600 local, a grumpy me dropped four very grumpy fluffballs off with a shipping agent to send them on the way to Feather. In their travel pouch was half an orange (sliced), some yoogies & sunflower seeds, & material they collected for nesting from thier pouch. Also included in the container was a small heater to keep them warm on the plane, a few more treats, the other half of the orange & a back-up heatpad in case of delays, and some week-old hammocks & sleeping pouch so thier 'hotel' stinks like home.

I believe Kimberley should have them by now, or else very soon. I hope they're on their best behavoior &, if not, feel free to withhold treats until they get their act together. It'll be a hard wait before I get to see them again.

Kim's on her way right now. Question. What color is Merlin? He's the one who has sezures, right?

Ok, I figured it out... It's Merlin

Please check your mailbox.

I knew this was going too smoothly

It's ok, your gliders are in good hands.

And later we can laugh about this!!!
