In which we continue to move forward...

Driving up to Chandler to look at condos and apartments tonight. Will be back Sunday, so internet connectivity will be fairly limited over the weekend (due to being busy, the hotel has internet, I just won't be there much.)

I'm super bummed to be missing out on meeting Charles De Lint at the Tucson Book Fair tomorrow, but preparing for this move over-rides my fangirl obsession with the man's take on urban faerie.  The fates couldn't be so cruel as to deem this is my only opportunity to meet him. I know I'm doing the right thing, in focussing on finding an apartment so we can get The Valkryie into a good high school, so I'll trust that they'll give me the opportunity to meet him again somewhere down the road.

For those of you playing along at home, we're still looking for good homes for Lobo and Kodi. They're wonderful pups, loving, affectionate, housebroken, and cute to the n-th degree. They can go together or separately, and will need either someone who's willing to walk them frequently or some space to run, because they're lab-mixes and need a bit of growing room.  We're planning on getting them both fixed when I get back from Phoenix this weekend, now that they've hit their 5 month mark, and they're up to date on their shots. Both recognize "kitchen" (the gated area where they sleep overnight), and run in there and sit down expectantly waiting for their biscuit when given that command. Both also recognize "sit" and "outside" as well as their names.  They love chasing a ball, but aren't really great about fetch yet (mostly because both will run after it, one will grab it and the game becomes "wrestle over the ball" rather than "bring the ball back to mom."

I'd really appreciate folks keeping their ear out for good homes for these guys. They're both just too wonderful of puppies to suffer from this life-choice we've been faced with. You can know that they've been smothered with love and affection since they were barely weaned, so they don't know anything else. They'd make a great addition to any family, as they're used to being around other dogs, and cats. They might be a little big/clumsy/doofusy for toddlers, but do great with kids that are too big to bowl over with love.

Lobo says "Don't you wanna help us find our forever home?"

Not sure if you'll be at FGotM.
You should have my phone number, or at least my email address.
If ya'll need anything, including directions or the like, lemme know. I know the area pretty damned well and if I don't know a random side street, my mapping fu is mighty.

I will be at Lost, while the girls are at the Zoo. I may be at Requiem, depending on what they want to do in the evening. I figure they may be tired enough after 5 hours of zoo-walking to want a bit of a pizza and tv in the evening.

I likely won't be at Lost, given my hiatus from playing in the venue, and the likelyhood that my costume for Kincaid may take... slightly longer than normal to get ready.

I (selfishly) thus hope you'll be at Requiem, but either way, if you need anything while you're in my neighborhood the way you are, lemme know. :)

Thanks, darlin'. I hope I'll be there too, but kiddos come first. Sunday's more house hunting/neighborhood exploring, but we'll probably be up and done before you're awake. :)

As an alternative, or perhaps close to last resort, PetCo up here does adoptions and such. They're really picky about how the animals are treated and the homes they go to.
