Seconding testing the tranquilizer first. The first time Tribble and I moved, I tranqed her, and it took her days to come out from under the bed. It really scared me, and I'd only used half a dose. I think the tranq made her woozy and scared her more than the moving. The second time we moved, I did not tranq her. She meowed all the way from Austin to Amarillo, but I just turned the Springsteen up louder. She also came out from under the bed and explored the new apartment within in a day.
None of it means a damn thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I moved Homer from NYC to Boston, he was pretty quiet in the car, but slightly traumatized, I think. So it was fine for me, but maybe not him!
I forgot to give the robot dating update: Last night, after he was like, "I think I have all the qualities you are looking for" (which, no, not that I can tell), I didn't reply until this morning, when I said, "OK, thanks!" So he wrote back, "Good morning angel, hope your night was good." ANGEL????? I'm just going to not write back now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Robots have really mastered terms of endearment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've only taken Squeaky on short trips to the vet, plus a half-hour drive when we moved here. She generally tolerates it ok. I'm thinking she'll probably sleep on a longer drive.

That song popped into my head too.

Don't touch my cheek before you leave me.

The song in my head is, of course, now morphing into I Wanna Be Cowboy (because of the "you can be my cowgirl" line)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Oh, no, not another earworm!(I've had some odd ones recently. The Steely Dan earworms I understand, but why has "Pilot of the Airwaves", a song I haven't heard since the early 80s, shown up?)

I Wanna Be Cowboy
I don't hear that song as nearly as often as I like
