I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post about the donations Challenger’s House received last week in honor of Corbie. I believe it added up to about $850, which is awesome! Thank you so much, everyone who donated. You know that money will go to good use, and is very much appreciated.
I also forgot to mention yesterday that Trick (who was also known as Oliver), who had been Terry’s housemate for several years before they were both returned, was adopted last week by a Challenger’s House volunteer. Excellent news! This is Trick, in case you don’t remember him. Is that the most adorable freckled nose, or what?

Here are the last of the pictures of the girls before they went off to Petsmart. Adoption hours will be taking place tonight – fingers crossed that some (or all three!) of them go home.
Sweet little Lizzy and her half-tail. (Fred, who rarely learns the names of fosters, nicknamed Lizzy “shortie tortie” because of that tail.)
If that’s not a judgemental little face, I don’t know what is.
Molly gets pushy when a feather teaser is involved.
Lita, Pat and Stevie. Sisters in the sun.
That girl, I swear. All ears and tail!
Inter-litter snorgling: Lizzy and Pat, hanging out (I’m sure I mentioned that Lizzy has a crush on Pat.)
Molly and Lita, in a different location. Molly’s back leg draped over Lita is cracking me up. As is Lita’s “You see what I put up with?” face.
This isn’t the best picture, but I was wearing a sweatshirt with a pocket in the front, and Molly decided to stuff her long, skinny self into the pocket and hang out. Her tail and back legs were dangling out the other side.
Kathie reported that when Lizzy was returned to Petsmart on Sunday, she went into the cage with Pat and Molly like “Hey, guys! I’m home!” I think it would be great if someone adopted her and Pat. Or, for that matter, her and Molly! (I know all three to the same home would be too much to hope for, but I’m still kinda hoping.)

This is where Simon and Garfunkel like to hang out. They come out almost as soon as I enter the room, though sometimes Garfunkel needs a little coaxing.
“You gonna pet me or what, lady?”
Keeping an eye on his brudder.
“I don’t know, lady. I’m pretty comfy here.”
“And there’s sunshine up here.”
“I guess I’ll come down and let you pet me. Because I’m generous that way.”
Simon and Garfunkel are just fine. The vet had an emergency surgery to perform yesterday, so they decided to keep the boys overnight and neuter them today. I’ll pick them up this afternoon, and I’m sure they’ll be happy to get back to their room, which I am going to vacuum and scrub down this morning.

One bazillion years ago – or last September, same difference – Sherry B. said this in the comments:
I’m so used to seeing Miss [Stinker]Belle from the front, that I completely forget that she’s actually far darker from the back. (or at least has far more color than white) It always surprises me. Any chance you could put pictures of Miss Belle’s back and Alice Mo’s back on here next to each other for comparison? Please and thank you!
Finally, I managed to get pictures of Alice from the back. Here’s Stinkerbelle on the left, Alice on the right.
