Would anyone like to host a small stuffed squirrel?

I have been watching this squirrel closely. I am not convinced he is real. No squirrel I know has ever got through immigration control/customs so easily. As for claiming jobseekers allowance, that preposterous.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes...

I'm having a fantastic day!

Unfortunately, I have had a PM from Cyphercat, who has had some very sad news and won't be able to have Rocky. Could anyone PM me with the next destination?

Thanks

Oh, that's too bad that cyphercat can't. I thought there was another PNW person who offered (Piffka?) let me go back and look. Albuquerque Dys/ Osso are the next scheduled ones though, probably easiest to send it to them (either -- you already have Dys' address, right?) and go from there. We can fit the PNW (or other non-mid-or-south-west) person in at the end.

I was thinking of martybarker (Seattle), I'll PM her.

But let's go with you sending Rocky to Dys, smorgs.

To recap:

1.) Me, Columbus (done!)
2.) Dadpad, Australia (done!)
3.) Walter, Germany (done!)
4.) ul, Vienna (done!)
5.) smorgs, Manchester (in process!)
6.) Dys/ Osso, Albuquerque
7.) Roger, Farmington
8.) DrewDad, Austin
9.) ? Maybe Martybarker, Seattle.

Note, nimh was originally #4 or #5 but he got nervous about the Hungarian postal service, so his slot needs to be replaced. Want it to be maximum possible diversity for time available, which probably means an under-represented US location.

Rocky will be visiting martybarker in Seattle!

So the question mark can be removed from the #9 slot. (The remainder of Rocky's journey will be smorgs --> Dys/ Osso --> Roger --> DrewDad --> martybarker --> me --> back to MN.)

soz I dont want to be seen as a sqirrel hog however if there is time left over and no other A2k prospective hosts I can probably arrange other international destinations quite quickly.
Sweden
Mexico
Japan
malaysia
Netherlands
Romania
etc etc

Of course I will need to ask these people first but there is no point asking until we know if Rocky has time.

Wait, was the sad news that she can't host Rocky or is sad news why she can't host Rocky?

I'm afraid I read it as the former -- if it's the latter, much support wafting westwards from me, too!

Just saw the date on the school pic, it WAS the 8th, it was first thing in the morning on my way to work and they hadn't done 'the 8th' on the board.

Rocky causing trouble in the Jobcentre - taken in hand by 'Big Trevor' the security guard. Who is a big softee really, but if you mess with me, Big Trev will get you! (he let Rocky off with a warning, 'cos he was cute)

Cake was yummy, Walter!

Lovely, smorgs, and Leila is a doll! Save me a piece of cake, ok?


Something seems to have happened to Rocky's whiskers(?). They seem to be plastered between his eyes, poor thing.


I'm so enjoying following Rocky's travels. Thanks for the pics, regardless of the dates.
