Will be interesting to see how her my Tojo work that out

Oh I have no doubt that Tojo won't even get a vote. Batten down the hatches, pack away the valuables, buy a copy of Marilyn Krieger's Naughty No More (so you can experience the exquisite failure of trying to train a SV), chant this to yourself when your blood pressure cuff explodes:
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
and remember to keep your sense of humor.

and remember.....Thomas Edison didn’t fail 10,000 times, he learned 10,000 times.
SV servants do a LOT of learning!

I'm pretty sure Tojo will take the low road quickly. Although he basically rules over our dog they play well together and amazingly don't make a sound,except for Allies nails clacking the wood floors. Never a yelp or a growl or hiss. In fact in the 3 years we've had Tojo I have never heard him hiss or growl once. Not even at the vet. I'm actually reading a book right now called Cat vs Cat that a friend with 3 savannahs recommended. I hope to finish it before we bring her home. WW I will strive to keep my sense of humor and be extremely vigilant about taking my BP meds

I think you should start on the wine now to keep from exploding from excitement. And I don't see kitten food on the list -- yanno, the stuff you put in the food and water bowls - CHECK

Edited my post to include food-CHECK

Forgot to list food while enjoying my daily dose of wine

Looks delish. I'm enjoying an excellent pinot gris at the moment.

Yum but I'm a total red wine kinda girl

I drank only red for decades. But I got burned out on red this summer and decided to add a few whites into the mix. Southern Oregon has a booming viticulture and I was intrigued by some of the local whites being produced. We have some lovely Viogniers here. There are two terrific wineries within a 3 minute drive of my house so I feel compelled to support the local economy.

I bet there are some great wineries up there! My husband and I drove through OR last Sept on our way to and from WA and made a quick drive down the coast. It is AMAZING! I'm hoping to make a more leisurely drive up there this summer or next and see the sights!
