"Are you talking about me?????"

We have sold our house. Last week was the inspection. The buyer has two daughters who are in their early teens. They attended the inspection and spent the time out in the garden. They were chatting with my realtor about all the animals in the yard....squirrels, chipmunks and birds. The realtor told them that I feed them and there is a very special one.....Shirley. They asked her to find out what I feed everyone....especially Shirley...so they can continue to take care of them!!! I am so excited.

So is Shirley!!!!

[flamepony12]

Aww! yay! Shirley is so cute! :D

[captain]

Gorgeous!!

Great news! It looks like Shirley is happy too!!!

[gini]

Everytime I read about the squirrel named *Shirley* I start to laugh.

But it is really comforting to know that Shirley and her friends will be well taken care of after you move.

Don't worry Sara, we have more squirrels here and possoms and raccoons and.........................well, I will let you find out.:D

Advice before you even set foot here........DO NOT try to feed the raccoons.

They can be a pretty crabby bunch.

[AmberLee]

All right! Great news!!! (Right, Shirley?)

[Killearn Kitties]

Excellent news! I'm very glad Shirley and the others will enjoy the attention to which they have become accustomed. :D

[Pam]

Oh Sara you know how worried I have been about Shirley. This was such a happy thread to read this morning and I love the pictures. They are just precious!! Congrats to you on the sale of your home. It looks like you found the perfect family. Now here's hoping for a good move and easy transition for you, hubby and the E's. ;)

[Randi]

Oh, that's great news for Shirley, the chipmunks and the birds. :D You must be relieved that the new owners have shown interest in feeding them. You'll miss especially Shirley, but you'll get a new crowd of them in your LA house, I'm sure. :) ;)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

That's great news! I was wondering what would happen to Shirley when you moved!

[pitc9]

Glad to hear the good news!

[lizzielou742]

Yay!!! Good news for Shirley!! :D :D :D

Congrats on selling your house too! When do you move?

[Vermontcat]

Yay! I'm so happy that Shirley has a new family to take care of her.:)
Do they have any kitties for her to play with?

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

How wonderful that the new owners of your house will continue to care for your garden friends!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Oh Gini....I am very familiar with raccoons and possums but what concerns me is a sign I saw in the neighborhood park..."Beware of Rattlesnakes!"

We begin our move on Septmeber 29 and will arrive in SoCal around the 5th or 6th of October.

So many things to get done in the meanwhile... I may be a bit scarse....

[lizbud]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this. Great news for Shirley & family.:D
I was worried about how she'd do without you. :)


P.S. Good luck with your move.:)

[Vio&Juni]

I was just thinking lately, if you're moving, who's going to take care of Shirley? I am glad to find out the the new owners are good people and would like to continue taking care of them :)

[jazzcat]

Great news!!! Glad to know Shirley will not get evicted and her bed and breakfast will continue!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm so glad for Shirley and the gang. I was wondering if you could somehow sneak her to California with you! Maybe the new owners would send you a picture of her sometime? :D

[popcornbird]

Congrats on selling the home, and congrats to Shirley on getting a new family that will take care of him.

Have you already bought a home in CA, or will you do that after you get here?

[catnapper]

Yay for Shirley! Sounds like a wonderful family will be moving into your home!

[Barbara]

Oh Shirley, these are good news!

Shirley came at the door when only Siegmar and I were in the kitchen and asked us for Brasil nuts- and she also took them from our hand! So the two girls can easily feed her:)

[Miss Meow]

I'm still sad that our run of E pictures in your beautiful home and garden will be ending *sigh* but I know that the move and new house will bring a new set of adventures. I'm glad Shirley and her clan have new minders :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yeah!!! I'm so happy!!! :D For Shirley and for you that you sold the house before you left, what a relief! :) I know you will miss it, but it sounds like your garden - and all the critters in it - will be in good hands.

Now, if Imagestation would only cooperate so I could see the pics....

[Cinder & Smoke]

It's prolly a little *late* :( now...

But you should have put a "requirement" in the sales contract -

That the New Garden Owners (And Shirley-Feeders)
had to Join Pet Talk AND submit weekly Shirley Pix!

(Can't believe your Agent didn't think of that!) :p

[ramanth]

Congrats on selling your house and a triple WOOHOO! that Shirley will be taken care of. :)
