These are the three cats that we dropped off at the no-kill animal shelter yesterday. Originally we were going to take Rocky, but we didn't see him when we were ready to leave, so we substituted Slash to go in his place. All was going well and we weren't too emotional because we prepared ourselves beforehand to be "okay" with these three going bye-bye. However, after we got the crate containing them out of the van and sat it in front of the 'playroom' they'd be in until they got their shots and whatnot, I needed to go in carrying one of them. After I got in there, two of the cats we had taken in last month (Dali & Dragoon) were still there, and Dragoon came out of hiding and meowed at me since he obviously recognized me. It was SO cute. Awww.... The people at the shelter told us that he and Dali were always hiding whenever someone went in there, and since people want to adopt cats that they're going to be able to see, they (Dragoon, Dali) haven't been adopted yet. After I left the little room they'd be in, Dragoon sat in front of the screen-door meowing. It was so sad. It was like he was saying, "Please take me home, please?" Obviously we couldn't, and it just hurt our hearts to have to listen to him beg. *teary eye* It was good to see him and Dali though, but sad nonetheless.

Then we went to the bank, cigarette store, gas station to buy $40 of gas, then Wal-Mart to do our monthly shopping. Spent a lot, then again, our pantry was getting really low. After that we came home. One of the things we bought while we were there was a $20, flip-up cell phone and minute card for our DD. Actually, she bought the phone with her allowance money and we helped with the minute card. It's a Virgin Marbl. Of course we don't get service at our house, so in order to make sure it worked we had to drive 3 miles to the highway, and even then we could only get a weak and intermittent 1 bar. So, my wife had given me a $20 bill and said that if we had to drive all the way to Buffalo (14 miles) to get cell service that I might as well pick-up pizza from Pizza Hut, which we did.
