The tip of the iceberg...

Yesterday, like right after I finished my blog, I went in the glider room to do pouch checks. And to my surprise... I saw one of Kira's joeys!! Well, just the tail really, but I saw it. And guess what!? It has a WHITE TIP!! I couldn't see anything else on him/her, so I don't know if it's just the white tip, or if the little one will have white hands, feet, etc.

Knowing that we have a colored baby coming OOP makes me even more antsy about their arrival! I mean, I love all our gorgeous joeys, but we don't get that many colored babies, so you can understand my excitement. :) Now we just have to wait another week or two for them to come OOP.

I may as well go ahead and spew the horrible news that was brought to my attention yesterday. Deagol, the little boy that we were supposed to get back this weekend (long story), passed away last night. His owner, Jessica, said that she found him with his face in his food dish.. just dead. She asked me if he could have drowned, but that's not likely. I just wish we could have gotten him back in January when she originally said she was going to give him back.

Part of me feels like it's our fault. I know a huge part of it's our fault from letting him go in the first place. Neither of us wanted to find him a home, we were both so attached to him. I just wish I could go back in time and take it all back...

Rest in piece little man...

Once I write about something as depressing as that, it makes me sick to my stomach and not even want to write anymore. Ugh, sucks. 

I sewed up the majority of another Paisley set yesterday. Originally, we got 3 sets out of all that Paisley fleece. The set Tracy wanted (2 pouches, a bridge, 2 corner hammocks, a vine), a semi basic set (pouch, Glider Bucket, 2 corner hammocks, long hammock, vine) and a semi larger set (pouch, Glider Bucket, bridge, 2 corner hammocks, square hammock, vine). Well the one I sewed up yesterday, I intended on advertising on Facebook, which still hasn't happened. Then yesterday evening, I got an email from a girl asking if the set Tracy wanted was still available. I told her no, but I had two more like it. She was ecstatic and said she's take the larger set. So yay!

I love when sets get sold without having to advertise them. 

Oh yeah, we finally decided on names for our ratties. We're going to call them, Chelsea and Melissa! Isn't that adorable. Their personalities actually match the girls we named them after. All the ratties are getting along great and they all sleep in one big pile together, it's the cutest. 

Omg, I almost forgot! We were looking Melissa over last night and could have swore that she was pregnant! We didn't know if it was just because she was chubby, or if she was actually pregnant! She's ate non stop since we brought her home, so it could have been that. She's just a baby and way too young to be a mom. I just hope it's chub and nothing more. We'll know for sure in a couple weeks. *sigh*

Okay, I believe I'm done for now. I need to sew and, you guessed it... drink some coffee!!

Love & Peace

On the road again... not!

Well the dentist appointment didn't go as planned. Not only did my sister get sick last night (sinus infection), but my aunt was sick as well. She wasn't really sick, but her hurt her back at work leaving her nearly helpless.

It's not like I'm depressed or anything. The only thing I'm missing out on is going to the pet store - which I don't need to do in the first place considering I need NO more animals - and the long ass drive. It's not really as long as it seems, it's really just the curvy and winding roads that get to you. So yeah, not depressed that I'm not driving it.

I hate that they're sick, though.

Lets see, we're supposed to get a massive ice storm tomorrow. NOT excited about that! No matter how big or small, ice storms always result in a power outage. If you know me at all, you know I do not do well with no electricity. It turns me into something I'm not. The longer it's out, the more out of control I am.

I also don't like being trapped and not being able to go anywhere. I also worry myself sick about the animals. Especially the gliders and the ratties. They're not as plump as the dog and cats. I also worry about the chickens, turkey and duck... singular. Sorry, still pissed at that damn dog.

I'm probably just worrying for nothing, right?

In glider new... the deal about Deagol may be back on. I'm not 100%, but I'm thinking yeah. The girl that had him messaged me last night and was like, "I'll be coming to Tennessee in 3 weeks and I'll have little Ciel with me." Ciel is what she renamed him to. So if we can get him back at all, we will.

Okay, I'm done for now. Need to run to the convenience store down the road and grab some food for tomorrow. I'm going to leave you with some photos that LaVaughn took of some birds earlier. And no, they're not pretty little song birds, they're actually very eerie!

Love & Peace

Eerie birds!

Just try to resist the cuteness...

I really felt the need to take photos of the gliders a little bit ago. It's been a while (too long) since everyone has had their photo taken, so it was time. I can usually get better photos when I have mealies, but had to settle for yoggies because we're out of the delicious squirmers . Don't get me wrong, they love yoggies - there's just something about mealies that perks them up... I wonder what that could be. ;)

While we're on the subjects of gliders, I'd like to talk about a few other things pertaining. Do you remember our first twin mosaic boys, Smeagol and Deagol? Well I've stayed in touch with both girls that got them. I messaged the girl that adopted Deagol last month and was saddened to hear that she was getting rid of him. Only because she couldn't find an old enough female to breed him with and felt bad hat he was so lonely. 

That's great on her part, putting your glider first makes you a great glider owner. That's when I told her that I wanted him back. We talked about things for a while and finally decided on an arrangement. At this point, I'm feeling really discouraged. I have this horrible feeling that she's going to back out of the deal. It makes me fell sad and depressed, but I'm hoping it's just nerves and she's not going to back out. 

My uncle -- who is a self contracted OTR driver -- pretty much agreed to pick him up for us. All he has to do is book a load down there and back. Oh, did I forget to mention that she now lives in FL? Yeah, that's the fun part! The upside - FL is only like a 13 hour drive, so it's not THAT bad.. is it? Ugh, I just wish he was here already. I just really hope that she doesn't back out of our deal.

In other, happier glider news... Sadie's joey is getting huge! It only has a couple more weeks of stewing to do before we get to meet this gorgeous little baby! For some reason, I think we're getting another WF male, but I'm not anywhere near sure about that, it's just a feeling. Only time will tell.

Love & Peace
