Well THIS is a happy group of posters!!

I am letting myself think positive agaian now as it seems to be coming together. Each time we were excited before - something bad kept happening to make the trip seem impossible. The communication barrier is the biggest obstacle I think - you can read this from all of Phred's conversations. The final word Missy had last month from Japan - was NO pets shipped from Japan to US unless it was in cargo (true) and accompanied (wrong). The people here told me it was possible but I got a different story each time. We still don't have the bottom line but I am betting Phred will get to it.

So - what I am reading here - saounds like Boomer will be here the week before Missy and Carol come. That is good as it will give him some time to settle in here. Yes, I bet Uncle Dylan will welcome him

Gotta go - am babysitting right now and while Misha is napping - I want to get in a spare closet and try to find the source of a new odor of cat pee There have been no peeing cats since the last geriatric 3-4 years ago and we have new carpet down - about a year old now so I am going to try and get to the source before the whole crew decides they have a new catbox. ARGH!!

But about Boomer....
