Permanent Vacation - Goodbye Sebas & Rei *UPDATE*

***UPDATE***

So last night I was laying in the bed feeling pretty sad that the last images I had of the boys was Jr and I stuffing them into carriers and hearing them cry. Not a good feeling....... So imagine the happiness I felt when I received this email from their new owner:

"Thanks again for the boys. Sebastian has demonstrated his leadership. He has already been in my lap and insists on me scratching him and giving him attention. I left the room and he came out from under the end table and looked for me on the couch and started squalling because I was missing. Reilly is indeed the shy one. He has stayed under the couch. I brought him out and held him a bit. He jumped down and decide to go back under. Sebastian has been checking out the living room, and has even decided that the Border Collie (Roadside) was friendly. He walked over to Roadside and began rubbing against him to get his scent. Looks like they all will become friends. They rode quietly home, and were introduced to the wife and Roadside met each up close one as they exited the carrier. As soon as they are settled in, will send photos. They will also be posted on my facebook page. Tom"

A wonderful rush of relief came over me. I knew they were going to be just fine and so were we. I will post updates as I get them.
By the way, the border collie, Roadside, got it's name because they rescued him from the side of the road during hurricane Floyd.

Well friends, this is it. Sebastian and Reilly are leaving today on their permanent vacation. That's what the servants are calling it. See, when they picked them up from their former owners last month, the man said, "Hey boys, how did ya'll enjoy your 3 month vacation?" He told them the next time they left, it would be for a permanent vacation. *cue aerosmith*
Truth be told, the man is very sad they are being adopted. He had hopes of keeping them forever. Of course, the lady is pretty sad too, but is very hopeful they have found their forever home....finally.
Their new home is with a nice older couple who have a rescued border collie. Their 15 year old cat ran off to the bridge last week and the dog is going through some serious grieving, he really loved the kitty. They are hoping Sebastian and Reilly will help cheer them all up.

Here is the video they made when they left for the first time. We're recycling.....

Bad To The Bone

Saylor dragged one of Dixie Dog's bones out of the toy basket. She and Maggie May had fun whapping it around the room.

The Cat-O-Lympics Extreme Climbing

This is our entry for the Cat-O-Lympics Extreme Climbing event, hosted by House of Cats. These pictures were taken last week during the living room remodel. The lady felt sorry for us being locked away all day and decided to give us a chance to come out of jail for a little bit while she and her mom painted.

The lady was standing on the staging, just painting away, when she looked over and saw us, Saylor and Maizy, up on the staging board with her! While she rushed over to get us down, her mom rushed over and grabbed the camera. Don't worry, we weren't skeered and neither of us were hurt during this maneuver!This photo shows the height of our climb. The ladder, while difficult to some cats, was no match for us!We don't know what the fuss was about, we were only trying to help her paint!

It's too bad this photo doesn't show just how much the lady was panicking when Saylor tried to jump from the ladder onto the loft railing. Needless to say, we weren't let out of jail again until the ladders were gone.

Monday Again

Wow! What a weekend we had! First, the servants finally finished the living room and we were set free from our jail cells (the bedrooms). There is still some decorating to do, but the big construction job is done. Here are a few pics.....
On Friday night, the lady attended the art show opening reception. There was an awards ceremony during the reception and she won an honorable mention for her photo, "Just the Beginning." She was given a certificate and also a check for $50.00! She was completely shocked! It was the largest turn out for this show with over 400 works entered.About an hour after she got home on Friday night, the strangest thing happened...... IT SNOWED! A LOT! We're talking like 8" or more. It hardly ever snows here, so it was quite a sight to see. We could have cared less and did a whole lot of this......
But, Dixie Dog had a blast running around and acting crazy!
