Note: I am supposed to be leaving on vacation tomorrow. HOPEFULLY I’m leaving on vacation tomorrow. It’s possible that jerk Matthew chewing his way up the East coast will mess things up for me. In either case, I am planning to take next week off from blogging. There’ll be a weekly roundup post on Sunday, as usual.
I’m going to put the “random post” button at the top of the page, right under the header, so that you can sit and hit it over and over again. There are over 2,600 posts on this site – surely there’s one or two you don’t remember and won’t mind reading again.
Edited to add: Now I’m scheduled to leave Monday morning instead. Fingers crossed. You guys in the path of the storm, please stay safe!

Last night:
Yay! I’m a little sad that they didn’t adopt Juniper too, but maybe they’ll come back for her. Fingers crossed!

I just clicked over to Skinny Pete’s adoption page. The embedded flickr album widget is a great addition to your pages. So nice in one place to see their growth.
I love that I can embedded that widget so that people can sit there and scroll through the pictures! I’ve done a lot of that myself. At some point I’ll go back and do it for all the foster pages… Someday!

These are the last of my pictures of The Greasers, taken before they went off to Petsmart yesterday.
Sodapop’s got SO much attitude.
It’s a big world out there, Ponyboy.
Two-Bit is smug that he figured out how to stop the track ball without having to chase it around the track.
They continue to adore this pillow cover. Someone’s always laying on it, snuffling around in it, or bunny-kicking it.
Three of the four, hangin’ out, doin’ stuff.
Two-Bit, showing off his love for the pillow cover (and the sun).
I finally got all four of the Greasers on the bed with me at nap time Wednesday. Darry was the last one up, and the last to leave. And they all purred the entire time!
Ponyboy over there on the right, stretching and showing off his spotted belly, is my favorite part of this picture.
All four of them! Looking at me! It’s a miracle! (Darry back there under the hammock, Sodapop in front of him, Two-Bit in the very front, and Ponyboy over on the right.)
I took the boys to Petsmart late yesterday morning, so that they’d have a few hours to settle in before adoption hours started. I put Darry in with Hemlock and Juniper – I expected there to be hissing, but there was no hissing at all that I heard. When I left, Ponyboy and Sodapop were hiding in their litter box, and apparently Two-Bit joined them a little later. I think they’ll be fine after they adjust, but I sure do hate it when they hide in the litter box!

Newt certainly does love a good box.
