Pookie Powers were instantly activated on April 25, 2000 when we met for the very first time at the Xando (now unfortunately Cosi) at the Courthouse Metro in Arlington, VA. Since then, our power has spread far and wide with its epicenter now positioned in Broomfield, CO. And the Pookie Nation has grown to include one more.

The start of this blog marks the five year anniversary of the official Pookie union. With many years ahead, the power knows no bounds!

Princess Mable

I've gotten lots of questions from friends about whether Mable had made it to Colorado with us -- YES! Mable is *loving* her new home, especially the huge window sills where she can luxuriate for hours stalking the birds and bunnies outside. She's also hoping that I never get a new job since she loves having me home to hang out and play with her. Her favorite game is wrestling with her toy mice and kicking them under the door that leads to the basement.

Getting Mable here was no small feat since Paul moved in January to start his new job, and I had the most work travel I've ever had between January and when we moved in March. It took a whole community of wonderful friends to take care of Mable during all the transition. Much love and thanks to: Virginia, Dave, David and Daniel Crocker and Virginia's mom who all took care of Mable during many of my trips; Rachael, Jonathan and Gershon Price who adopted Mable for the entire month of March; and our friends in Colorado David, Declan and Aedan White and Jennifer Coken who hosted Mable during our first week before we moved into our new house. Good thing Mable is a truly adaptable kitty who had a great time visiting with everyone!
