An Apple A Day

So, The Girl and I took a trip to Northwest Philly today to take Zig Zag, Charmin and 70% to the Kitty Clinic (read: SPCA on Erie). 4 (YES FOUR) hours later we all emerged mostly unharmed and for a full 2/3 less than what it would have cost to take them to the local holistic vet they have been seeing locally. Four hours, we mostly think it was worth it. The kitties got physicals, shots and the ones that needed it got a certificate of health for their plane ride.

All the kitties really responded well to the adventure. The Girl was a little nervous about flying with them once we got moving with all three cat carries strapped in the back seat. There was a fair amount of meowing but no horrible dying animal crying. Over the course of the morning they all chilled out and sat in their travel boxes. I am realizing now that they were in the travel crates as long as it would take to fly non-stop to California. Hooray! Everyone was happy to be home. There was tuna in the evening for every one's enjoyment!!!!

As you can see from the photos posted earlier, we continue to make progress on the packing front. Rabid Squirrel delivered a GIANT suitcase from a friend (who does not yet have an agreed upon alias ~ will report back later) and a ton of boxes!!!! We will start packing that suitcase tomorrow!!!!! We continue to figure out the things to pack and possibly ship for The Girl for her solo time in Palo Alto solo.
