Ya'll come North, eh?

  The adventure began for Pixie and Dixie in Texas in January 2001. Their owner retired and could no longer keep them. Laura, a volunteer for the Rexcue Railroad, drove to Texas from her home in Little Rock, Arkansas to get the girls and foster them. It took several months before the perfect home was found . . . 892.6 miles away! Volunteer drivers were found through the Rexcue Railroad and off they went the weekend of June 23-24, 2001. Their trip took six volunteer drivers and overnight stays in Tennessee and in Ohio. Here is their photo story.

Laura, who fostered Pixie and Dixie, drove from Little Rock, Ark., to Memphis, Tenn., to meet Debbe.

Whitney, Debbe and Tom met Laura and drove the girls from Memphis to Arden's home near Nashville, Tenn.

Whitney, Debbe's niece, reluctantly turned Pixie and Dixie over to Arden where the two cats spent the night.

Arden's stud Sphynx was disappointed to discover the two visitors were not staying as his new girlfriends.

Arden was up at the crack of dawn Sunday to make the first part of the day's journey.

Arden took her two feline guests to Bowling Green, Kentucky to meet Marilyn.

Marilyn drove from her home in northeast Kentucky to meet Arden in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Bill and Liz met Marilyn near Cincinnati, Ohio and kept the girls for a couple of days.

Pauline's family met Bill in Dayton, Ohio to take the girls home to Windsor, Ontario.

Pixie and Dixie quickly settled in with Pauline's family and act like they own the place.
