Oh you woudln't believe the flirting going on here.
Someone is smitten with this kitten. Check out the flirt. I wish I had another memory disc so I could have caught what just happened. Sancho laid on his side with his paws outstretched and they played footies, then Ressie rolled over, and touched him again, and he rolled over and touched her back. Sighs. Zoom you know I would figure out a way. IF you were coming up for THanksgiving, or Christmas, I would gladly arrange for him to be here for you.
Surprisingly Columbus will have nothing to do with the clubhouse yet. Sancho says it needs one bigger door for him. Which I will gladly make for him.

I talked with Mom extensively about it. IF Hyia has a need to stay connected socially, if she needs to be around people that would let her know she is just fine exactly as she is, and she IS a caring, sensitive, lovely hearted young woman with her ethics in all the right directions, it would be a good experience for her. And again, this is not something i am pushing, it is something she has talked about ever since Victor retired. SHe liked going with me, and did so almost every time. SHe could learn to walk Ressie on a leash, she could learn about getting her use to loud sounds and sudden movement, she knows and has attended ttouch seminars. She tries very hard now to put in to practice what she learned there and Sancho doesn't mind a bit. SHe has attended dozens of visits and knows exactly what is involved and how to properly interact. The hardest part for her back then was not giving hugs. SHe was at that age where it was hard not to get her to hug everyone. She is much more mature now. SHe is at a cross roads age where the wrong direction would not be something she would be able to come out on the other side from. The damage would be catastrophic. And she does love old people and is fully comfortable being around them, ANd she has a nice smile, a good singing voice, and a sweet personality. So...I am weighing it all out. Neccy is old and tho her coming here made me feel like I needed my head examined, my mind told me one way, my heart said NO, she deserves to be comfortable in her own skin before she crosses the bridge and the world be damned if I am not going to give it to her because I CAN and there for should. So...still...but....
benefits....................................................risks
Bringing the babies here was a good decision. It was a win win, it took Hyia out of a deep depression, and brought her back to singing, laughing, and being herself. Now would the next step be a win win too? 5 is a lot. I have worked unbelievably hard to keep it no more than 3 for the last decade.
just now
my floors are a mess, but today I don't care. IT will have to wait. I am working on the tea cups and sugar bowl examples for the art unleashed auction. I have 2 more days at the very most. One done. People on the wheel can make cups one after another after another in no time flat..it took me 4 hours to figure out and hand build the one I have now. Maybe longer.
This is a very happy distraction and a good motivator to do my best.
