Laila knows how to use a litterbox! Hooray!

She managed to shamble in and out of a small one that Dave made for her and despite whizzing just outside the box, at least it was a healthy whiz. And some poopies, too.

Here is Dave's report on how the night and day have gone.

Meanwhile, got a couple more pictures to share with you all -- here's Laila looking like an extra from Kiss Of The Spider Woman:

This was taken the day she was transported from the vet to her new home. She was very very very stoned. The thing on her face is healing nicely. And Dave says that her squinky eye is doing much better, too.

Here's Laila and Solange stretched out on the kitchen floor, in the breeze of the box fan:

And in case you want a recap of where your donations have gone, here's a before and after of Laila's drumstick.

I will have a new donation tally to share with everybody in Tuesday's post.

Later this afternoon, I'll be walking a couple of blocks down to see my old pal Art!

Thank you all again for your consideration and generosity.

11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in?:
Well, after my hormones hit, I never went there to watch the movie...

13. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven't gotten around to it:
"The Wrestler"
14. Ever walked out of a movie:

"The Jungle Book" at the long gone Yuba City Drive In with my folks.

*NOTE: Do not even START with me about whether or not A Hard Day's Night is a musical. It *is*. It has songs that are relevent to the plot and were written specifically for the film. Neener. :-)
