Last night, the good news:
I don’t mind telling you, I was a little worried about Koko because reports were that she wasn’t happy. I hoped that she’d relax into the routine of being at Petsmart – and now she doesn’t have to. Yay, Koko!
But there was also bad news last night: Levine was returned. He was just adopted last Thursday, but the family’s circumstances changed unexpectedly, necessitating a return. Teresa reported that after some snuggles, she put him in the cage with Nubbs and Shelton, there was a lot of sniffing, a hiss, and then they started playing. So, not too traumatic for him, and he got a break. I have a good feeling about this weekend – fingers crossed!

Speaking of cats – remember Emily, the cat GD rescued? See here for reference. GD told me on Monday that Emily is on a trial 2-week sleepover; hopefully the trial goes well, and the paperwork will be finalized – I bet that girl has found her home! Yay, Emily and double-yay GD!

In the middle of March, I glanced over to the side stoop, and saw Archie sitting there looking very displeased (I mean, even more displeased than usual, if that’s a possibility). I went over to see what was going on, and found that FancypantsV2.0 was sitting there eating.
::chompchompchompchomp::
“Did you hear that, dude?”
“::thlurrrp:: I swear I heard a clicking sound, but I don’t see – ”
I wish I could report that we’ve trapped FancypantsV2.0 and whisked him off for testing and neutering, but he comes around so sporadically – perhaps once a week – that we haven’t been able to do so yet. And the moment after I took that last picture, he zoomed off the side stoop and was GONE. I’m really hoping he belongs to someone in the area – he’s in really good shape (as far as I can tell). We’ll keep working at it, of course.
