She's on the road.

I'll miss you, baby. Be good, as you have always been. I'm very proud of you.

I followed the packing instructions provided by Lise Christopher, the Shedd's Animal Acquisitions Coordinator. Fluffy will arrive at her new home by 10:30am tomorrow, Chicago time. She has enough air and water for three days, Lise said -- so even if FedEx screws up, she'll be fine.

I'm still worried, of course.

Awww...
Good luck, Fluffy.

Are they going to keep using the name of Fluffy?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Yes. Lise promised.

[eeyrg.livejournal.com]

that's awesome. we can go visit and ask for her by name! :)

[xenoglaux]

awesome....

[happyelfling.livejournal.com]

Awesome... I definitely plan on visiting! I loved that aquarium as a kid, but I haven't been there in years. Now I have an excuse! Do you know where they will be putting her?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Not yet, but I'll find out.

[pyrric.livejournal.com]

Let me know when you do; my mom and I will be in Chicago at the beginning of June, and we'll totally go see her.

Best wishes Fluffy!

i don't know if i've said this before,
but i'm really proud of you
for knowing this is the right thing to do
and for being willing to do it.
"proud" sounds kind of odd,
like you want or need my validation somehow,
but i don't know what other word to use.

just take it as a good thing :)

Fluffy is *totally* gonna be famous!!!

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

I hope it doesn't go to her head.

[water-childe.livejournal.com]

Farewell Fluffy. Safe journeys. Just you wait, when you do go to visit her she'll be even more amazing. I bet she starts growing like crazy. She'll be Queen of the Aquarium!!!

Bon Voyage Fluffinator

Best of luck to the Fluffster. You'll visit her of course? You were a wonderful adoptive parent - you should be proud. :)

[halo.livejournal.com]

I'll totally go check on her, if you'd like. Just tell me who to talk to, and how to tell if Fluffy is healthy and happy.

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Once I know the details, I'll pass them along. As for assessing her degree of well-being, I'll have to send you some image and movie files, so you'll know what a happy Fluffy looks like. Thank you!

[halo.livejournal.com]

and I'll make sure to take lots of pics for you, of the queen in her new domain. =)

[heresiarch.livejournal.com]

ooh, do you know when she'll be available to visit? I'm going to drag all my friends there to see her!

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

do you know when she'll be available to visit?

You'll read it here first. :)

Bon chance, Fluffy!

I'm hoping I can visit Chicago this summer, and if I do, I gotta see her.

[bottleimp.livejournal.com]

-sniff-

I wonder if I can parlay this into a visit to Chicago. What with the plastinated Body World display AND Fluffy, there are two reasons to go.

Will they feed her Latino toes occasionally?

[lepidosiren.livejournal.com]

Shuddup. She didn't mean it.
