Haha, nice!

Congrats!

yay! no more mean private school?

Yup. The plan is to teach him how to fend for himself a bit--he's really young--just weened probably and he's not eating on his own yet--and also teach him to make a burrow (you can teach them that)--or make him one in a safe place, out in the woods. They say if you do that, they remember and will come back to that same place every year. If he's still too sick to survive the winter they'll try to get this shelter/zoo type place (it's a good place) to take him in.

I will check Kim Harrison out!! Did you read Valiant? The second one in the tithe/ironside series?

the mortal instruments are right up Twilight alley, city of bones, city of ashes and city of glass

That's nice! What's that job?
By the way... congrats
