Trying to get past it...

It's so incredibly sad at our house right now. It's been a week since Leo died and 2 days since Jasper had to be put down, it sucks. It's just been a bla weekend -- which is leading up to a bla week in general. It sucks, we've had so much rotten luck with our animals lately, it's unfair.

In other news, LaVaughn saved a tiny little mouse from Max a little while ago. This is a TINY mouse, like microscopic. He's slightly under the "hopper" stage, so he's not very old at all. We're going to keep him until he's a little bit bigger and then set him free. As of right now, we're calling him Bpo Bpo, which means "a kiss" in Korean.

So yeah, there's that. I'm not even remotely in the mood to blog, so that's all.

Love & Peace

Yeah, we so bought some classics a couple weeks ago. They arrived today.

And now for pictures of Bpo Bpo and his temporary home:

The worst possible outcome...

I don't even know how I'm going to say this, but our sweet and gorgeous boy, Jasper, had to be put to sleep today. What we thought to be worms ended up being FIP, a fatal and incurable disease. LaVaughn called me after they told her, she then began to tell me that they suggest putting him to sleep. Since there was no good outcome even with medication, we decided to have him put down.

One of the hardest and saddest decisions we've ever had to make and I couldn't be there for either of them because I was stuck at work.

I still can't believe it happened. I feel sick all over, sad and just lost.

You will be so sincerely and unbelievably missed, my sweet boy. I will never forget you and hold you in my heart always.

RIP Jasper

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... Part 2

So the weather was extremely beautiful today, as well as the lighting. I had to take advantage and break the camera out for a little while. It was a tad on the windy side, so I didn't get the best pictures in the world, but I did get some, which is okay by me.

I also got some updated pictures of Nubbins, which I'm super happy about because I just took new ones last Thursday, so I'm doing good.

In cat news, LaVaughn has to take Jasper to the vet tomorrow while I'm at work. His belly is super swollen and doesn't appear to be going down. There could be a number of things wrong with him, but we're thinking worms. I hate that I can't go with them, but I can't really ask off because I'm one of 4 people that work there, which sucks.

I guess that's all for now. Mainly a picture post, so I'll leave it at that. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Here are all the pics from today -- not labeling anything, so you'll have to figure it out on your own:

There's no going back now...

Finally got a chance to take some decent outdoor joey pics today. Nothing super awesome, but they're decent. It was bordering on being chilly and too cold to be outside, plus it was late, so there wasn't much along the lines of "golden" pictures.

Speaking of joeys, I'm worrying myself to death about Charli's new little boy. He's eating well and gaining weight, but he's tiny and has this crud stuck to his head from being IP for so long. And to top it off she's over grooming that spot and taking some of his hair with it. I'm just so close to neutering Tyler, you have no idea.

While I'm on the subject of gliders, I may as well go ahead and say how terrible we are. Milli posted in SGF earlier and said that Petco was having a huge sale on Double Critter Nation cages. They were on sale for $179, but there was a glitch in Petco's system that allowed a 20% off coupon and a 25% off coupon, making the cages a little over $112 EACH!! Since we've been blessed in finding our joeys homes and I've been selling cages sets, we decided to get EVERYONE a new cage! Even the rats! We had nearly a $600 savings on all of the cages thanks to the coupon glitch. It was insane!

Apparently everyone in the rat and chinchilla groups were taking advantage of this too, because Petco went out of stock within hours and their system was down for a while. I'm so happy we were able to take advantage. I'll breath easy when they're actually here and in our grasp.

I suppose that's all for now, just wanted to update everyone on the happenings, albeit boring happenings. Until next time...

Love & Peace
