I think only a month waiting for a pair of oldie mongrels is pretty good! Must have been a good popular rescue.
Css - I can't really take credit for the Oldies css, as it's a template from the CMS (Wordpress - excellent table-free accessible CMS, highly recommended) and I just messed about with things a little (well it is a freeby!)
I assume you've looked at http://www.csszengarden.com/?
Pretty much everything I do is css-only, but I sometimes have problems convincing my colleagues A and T of the righteousness of the CSS Way: they will try to sneak in tables for formatting.
http://www.airsouthwest.com/ is kind of interesting: it was designed by a Dreamweaver Deziner as a hugely tableheavy site. They found it got no search engine traffic, so I recreated the look and feel (and made a few tweaks) in css, which worked rather well. The code isn't exactly clean, but the filesizes are about 6 times smaller!
I'm quite proud of http://www.tropicbreeze.co.uk/ - that is pretty much pure css formatting except maybe the odd form - http://www.plymouthguild.org.uk/ is our best effort at pushing the right accessibility buttons so far, but it's not so pretty. http://www.hayne-alpacas.co.uk/ is all css (apart from the Gallery section, which has tables from the CMS), and also contains cute alpacas...
