Thanks Kari! O.k ..in the spirit of clean, clear facts that sparked this thread, here is the latest as of almost 10 PM

  1. Damon's IS interested in being the new home for Rufus. They were first to step up to the plate, and taking very responsible steps to peruse this intent with one thing they told me as priority..."what is best for the fish". So...they are moving forward with greatest care and attaining all the knowledge they can to minimize risk. So not a done deal...but done as far as Damon's having rightful first dibs till they say uncle.

  2. Damon's is trying to meet to more efficiently communicate with those representing Bahooka. Their initial requests to have meeting this week have been "rescheduled" till next week with current owner. So, delay in firm answer on this is taking longer, not because of Damon,s behalf.
    Where we can use the greatest help from you , Fez Moai,and Jorge, who are in contact with the owner of the Bahooka property is emphasizing the importance of making a productive meeting and communication possible, as soon as possible with the owner...working to make this happen sooner than later! Clear prompt communication has been our greatest challenge so far! Damon's is ready to get this deal finalized!!! This benefits Rufus!!!!!

  3. I don't think anyone here will be prepared to for what it will cost in effort and money, ultimately, to safely move this guy. We all need to be prepared to kick in in many ways to come.....mark my words. I am happy this thread and the sketch inspired a fund raising effort ....and that will likely be increasingly important as we visit the realities that surface.

I am truly hoping that Damon,s succeeds . For many reasons. They are much closer to Bahooka than other alternatives in miles, reducing dangerous stress in travel which is critical. They are a fabulous historical place, with both managers, Kevin and Michael passionate about Tiki and the meaning Rufus represents! They are taking this on with great heart and risk and effort...one intelligent step at a time ..and again, most of all....stepped up to this challenge before there was any hype or grandeur! Lets do all necessary to help them close this deal and get Rufus snug in his new carrot kingdom! This would be the Right thing to do!!
