It wasn't like a week in Bangkok (heheh) but we had fun!  We drove over to
PetCo on Thursday and ascertained the days they have the dogs and cats up
for adoption was on Saturday from 1-4 PM.  It's just as well it snowed
heavily in the wee hours of Saturday morning, Britta.  Honestly, neither one
of us can take in another pet but he really wanted to see the dogs and cats.

As it was I was dreaming of bringing home a big long-haired guinea pig; I
could just picture it running around my apartment terrifying Persia.  Oh,
and I got to hear the funniest thing on the intercom/loudspeaker while we
were there:  "Customer needs assistance in MICE".  Okay, it doesn't take
much to amuse me!   But where else could you hear something like that?  I
was happy to see all the rabbits they had for sale were marked as
spayed/neutered.  So much for...[ahem] like rabbits.  Did I mention it
doesn't take much to amuse me?

We saw a pretty good movie while we were braving the icy streets.  'The End
of the Spear'.  Featured absolutely unknown actors but was a very good
story, if you consider missionaries going in and destroying an entire south
american indian culture in the 1940's a good thing.

We had some good food while we were there and I called to check on Persia
and Peaches, of course.  Persia has been extra-clingy, sleeping with all
four paws touching me or draped over me just to make sure I'm there.  Poor
baby.  I got a good kneading on my side before we settled down for a few
hours sleep :)  I wonder if she snores when she's being boarded?  She sure
snores like mad when she's curled into me!

Please give Vino a hug for me and thanks for asking about my trip.

Thank you!  We met up in a really low-rent place called the Scottish Inn.
Heh, with a last name like McQuown, you can figure I'm Scottish, whichi
means frugal.  Run by Indians.  It had a microwave and a half size fridge.
Nice big room and access to lots of restaurants.

If you like to drink you have to buy a membership to a club (it's a dry
county), but other than that there are some decent restaurants.  Bring your
own booze :)

Persia has been snuggling like mad.  She wants to be next to her 'momma' :)
I love snuggling with my kitty, too!
