morleyroarlyIn just six hours, I will be eagerly waiting in line at the United Cargo pickup desk at the Pittsburgh International Airport to retrieve my darling attack muffin, the one, the only, SPATULA! He's currently in the air, flying from SFO to ORD (Chicago O'Hare), then he connects to Pittsburgh.
I can hardly wait to have him in the house! He'll start off here in my room, where his litterbox is, and where some familiar things are (including ME!). Once he's settled into this room, I'll let him out to explore the rest of the house.
Fly safe, dear Spatulus Prime, see you soon!
**EDIT**
A yi yi, this just never stops changing! Back and forth and back and forth. The original booking had him arriving at 8:46. Last night, the SFO cargo office called to say he would be arriving earlier - at 1:46 pm - because he was dropped off early. This morning I called the PIT office and they confirmed 1:46 pm. But now they just called back and said he's back on the night flight, arriving at 8:46 pm. And the lady at the general United Cargo place says no no, he'll be on the 1:46pm flight. Which is it?! Yeow, people, figure it out! I just hope he makes it safely.
**EDIT AGAIN**
Thank you Debbie at United Airlines Cargo! She's the manager at the customer service call center, and she figured everything out and reassured me. He's in Chicago right now, inside and in his kennel on someone's desk where it's nice and warm, and he's doing fine. He will be loaded on the earlier flight, and I'll pick him up around 2:15 my time. HOORAY!

When he gets out of Flint & Kristie's, it's into the main stairwell of their building (carpeted stairs going up 3 more floors). When you chase after him out the door, he pauses at the top of each landing he runs up, to taunt you, and then runs up the next set after you almost reach him. Then he lies down at the VEEERY top where he can't go any further, and purrs.
Then you pick him up (still purring) and he rides contentedly back downstairs in your arms, with this little smirk.
