Snow white...

We had to go back to Fredericktown again today, which prevailed to be a wasted trip. Now we get to go back next Wednesday... Fun! We had to stop by the store to grab some cat food and coffee creamers -- obsessed is putting it lightly at the moment. I'm still extremely pissed that they don't have the Almond Joey ones anymore. Major sad face.

As soon as we got home today we had to start making HPW. We ran out last night, so it was a have to type of thing. Since we got our new box of Wombaroo powder and 160 ounces of honey, we decided to make 8 batches of HPW. We even stopped by Dollar General and picked up a couple new containers especially for HPW. Unfortunately, they're not big enough and only hold 3 batches each. We were hoping they would hold 4, but it worked out better that way. Now we have 6 batches out in the deep freeze and 2 in the house. I'm very curious as to how long these will last -- I'm thinking until next months sometime?? Like nearing the end, maybe even November!

Before I forget about it, I'd like to talk about a couple items we got in the mail for the ratties yesterday. I was reading a girls post in one of the rat groups on Facebook and was moved by her cry for help. Her poor rat boy had a hernia that was spilling out into his testicles. Unfortunately the surgery was going to cost $600, which she didn't have. She was asking for donations and in return you got sewn items. Yes, we can sew our own rattie items, but I know first hand how it is to need a lot of money up front for rat surgeries. I ended up getting a rat cube ($12) and a little rat bed ($9). I sent her a little extra to help. It wasn't much, but I hope it was enough.

We got our adorable little cage set items in the mail yesterday while I was at work and they're adorable! The bed is s tad smaller than I thought it would be, but I'm sure it will suffice. I want to find some of the same material and make them a few more things to go with it.

Have I even mentioned that Chloe and Boone's little boy detached early yesterday morning?? Well he FINALLY did and weighed in at a whipping 19 grams! He's by far the biggest joey we've ever had here. He's also a big cry baby, but oh my god, he's SO cute!! He's also extremely pouch stained, which is another first for us. Chloe needs to not be so greedy next time. As of right now, we're calling him Norman.

Speaking of joeys, Wanda will be leaving us Friday. We're meeting Milli in Poplar Bluff to hand her over. It's going to kill me, I love her so. :( I don't think it will be half as bad parting with Pietro, though. Now THAT killed me.

Well I guess that's all for now. It's getting late and I'm getting a thirst for coffee. Until next time...

Love & Peace

He's ADORABLE!

I want to keep him. :D

Gotta get one of papa Boone.

Thankfully he's gorgeously white.

One and one, and one is three...

I was going to blog yesterday about the exciting things that took place Wednesday night, but I thought I would keep my blogs limited at the moment and just post tonight. Cause lets face it, aside from getting new gliders not much has happened -- at least nothing blog worthy.

Now, lets hop back to tent time Wednesday night -- which I did alone, I might add. I braved the gliders and decided to intro Ellie to the new additions, Ginny and Oliver. I was extremely nervous to do it alone, but I kept my cool and proceeded with confidence.

That was, without a doubt, one of the EASIEST intros I've ever done in my entire life! They hit it off from the moment they sniffed noses! Ellie got a little spooked when the two littles jumped on the tent wall and started running around. I guess she's still scarred from Fiona and Neal chasing her all over the place, because she got kind of crabby towards them a couple times. That's the only reason Ginny had a set back. Ellie crabbed at her one time and it scared Ginny to death. It wasn't until I got all 4 of them in a bonding pouch together that she realized Ellie wasn't going to kill her.

I'm VERY pleased to say that the THREE of them are living happily in the SAME cage!

Now yesterday... lets see, what exactly did take place yesterday? I remember taking pictures of the rats and that's about yet.

Okay, lets skip yesterday and focus on today. We had to venture to Fredericktown today to complete a few different things. LaVaughn had to take care of some things at the DMV, we had to drop some things off at our aunt's house, then we had to grocery shop. I know, fun! Nothing more really needs to be said about today, cause that's basically all that took place.

I guess that's really all. Enjoy the massive amount of pictures below...

Love & Peace

Here are the pictures from Wednesday:

This is Una's mini session. Zoe had one, she needed one:

Gotta get the ham in there too.

Milla and all her radiance:

Among other things, like cats and flowers:

This dog is gorgeous.

Jasper loved this string.

Cersei is such a gorgeous flirt.

She looks mean, but I love this one.

Thursday:

I just wanted one picture of one of our cages with the good lens.

It's hard to tell, but Ellie, Oliver, and Ginny are all in this triple hammock together.

Since I never post pictures of my rat boys, here are several completely random ones:

Louie is the cutest (and fattest) thing!

Leo had to come out for some attention.

To eat, of course.

He is too cute.

Poor baby still has head tilt, just not as bad.

And Friday (today):

Here's our mass amount of honey. O.o

Fruit salad. DELICIOUS!
