Greetings from Malaysia!
We are all packed up and out of our house in Thailand. All our stuff is in a shipping container and enroute to Australia. Meanwhile, we are staying in a furnished 2 bedroom apartment in Penang, Malaysia. We will be here until the time comes for Vino's appointment with jail in Perth. The soonest we could get him in was April 10, so on the 9th, we'll be off. Dennis won't be coming with us because he has to return to work in Myanmar on the 11th. In a way it works out because that gives me a chance to rent a house and get all the furniture set up before Vino joins us after his 30 days quarantine. Yesterday the poor bugger had his throat shaved and blood taken from the jugular for the 2nd time in 6 months. The sample is also enroute to Australia via Fedex. The apartment where we are is pretty good for animal watching. Out back is a large copse of trees where in the evenings is a large group of pretty big monkeys which are constantly fighting with each other. There is also this creek, which really swells up when it rains and we saw a giant monitor lizard drifting along yesterday. There are also these bright turquoise birds with yellow beaks. The lady downstairs has 2 cats, both strays that showed up. One is a small orange boy with a 1/4 tail and the other is a heavily pregnant female with long hair and white with tabby spots. I've nicknamed her Wide Load. Can't wait to see the kittens! The lady said she has homes lined up for most of them. I hope she gets her spayed afterwards, I am going to ask her. Dennis has to leave tomorrow night to go to Florida for 1 week for his yearly training course on the simulator. It was supposed to happen during his next month working but the company changed it at the last minute and wouldn't budge despite our vehement protests. We are not best pleased with the situation, but I'll be ok hanging here by myself with Vino for a week. I've got satellite TV and the internet for the laptop. Although the connection is really bad because it goes through the switchboard at the front desk. I am just going to use it to download the NG to read offline and will go to the internet cafe around the corner for emailing! Anyway, that's it for the latest news on our whereabouts. Hugs and purrs for anyone that needs them. -- Britta |

Oooooh yeah! :-) All our stuff is in a shipping container and enroute to Australia. Whee-haa!! In a way it works out because that gives me a chance to rent a house and get all the furniture set up before Vino joins us after his 30 days quarantine. Poor Vino! Can you visit him while he's there, or would that defeat the purpose of the quarantine? Yes, I can visit him 24 hours after he arrives, but their visiting hours are quite limited, only from 1-3 pm, Monday to Friday. The problem is that we'll be living 3 hours away from Perth, so it will be difficult. I'm hoping to beg and plead with them and let them let me come at more convenient times. But I will definitely be visiting as much as possible! The apartment where we are is pretty good for animal watching.

What's that mama's boy going to do without his mom? Yesterday the poor bugger had his throat shaved and blood taken from the jugular for the 2nd time in 6 months. The sample is also enroute to Australia via Fedex. Yikes! I guess it's easier from the neck than the paw, huh? Still, scritches for poor Vino. -- Victor M.

I keep telling myself that it's no different from putting him in a kennel while going on vacation. I think the facility is very nice and they treat the animals well.

Vino is such a good boy. Rusty struggled hard when they tried to draw blood from the jugular. 2 weeks ago you could hear him complained loudly all through the vet clinic when they drew blood. Rusty is usually a very quiet cat. So you know he really hates it. The first time TED tried to draw blood years ago, he had to give up. 3 of us holding Rusty down at the time. TED said if Rusty could fight like that, he couldn't be that sick. But these days they need to draw blood for a geriatric profile fairly regularly. Winnie -- Britta |

Glad are things are moving along for y'all. We will keep purring and praying
that Vino doesn't feel too bad being cooped up for 30 days and that everything else goes well.
