Halloween joey pics, my blogger "latergram"...

I took some new joey pics on Halloween, but since Louie started going downhill that night, I obviously didn't want to mess with shorting through pics, let alone blogging about them. Since I've been staying moderately caught up on my blog, I wanted to continue the trend and go ahead and post these pics.

They're nothing special, just normal outdoor pics. I also have some pictures of Clementine at the bottom for your enjoyment.

And now for the unbelievably adorable, Clementine:

Just look at those gorgeous eyes! 😻

No, just no...

Ugh, god, I hate being sick. It started last night and is in moderate swing today. Yuck, just yuck. And you wanna know the real joy? I have to work the rest of the weekend -- fun! Sarcasm, obviously. Not that what I do on the weekends would be considered hard, but it's draining. Being on your feet all day can do that to you.

I'm hoping and praying that this doesn't turn into a 2 week long cold like I had at the beginning of the year. It never fails, when I get sick, I'm sick. Like nearly every cold-like symptom I can have I'll get. So yeah, there's that...

Oh, I almost forgot, I asked off this Sunday for The Walking Dead premiere. If I continue to get sick, I'm going to be forever grateful that this is the Sunday that I asked off.

My day consists of tea.

And more tea, plus gallons of water and gatorade.

And cats...

It's a beautiful (hot and humid) day in the neighborhood...

It was such an amazingly stunning day out today, if only the weather had cooperated. The sky, lighting, scenery and all of that we're aligned perfectly, but the heat and humidity were way off. I managed to hang around outside for close to 20 minutes to capture some images around the yard. Mainly of the cats, but I did squeeze some chickens in there as well. It was too hard to breath after that, so I quickly retreated inside.

I've been wanting to capture some images of Clementine, our new kitten, since she's started feeling better. I definitely don't want to have any regrets like I do with Hamilton. It's safe to say I took well over two dozen pictures of her today. Of course, I got some of Cersei as well -- can't leave one of the most gorgeous cats hanging in the wind. I don't know what it is about her, she's just stunning.

Back to Clems for a moment, those of you who know what Bart looked like will really see a resemblance in these pictures of her. It's uncanny. I could just be a crazy cat lady, but seeing how LaVaughn sees the resemblance more than I do, I kind of believe it.

I suppose that's all for now. I mainly wanted to share some pictures, considering I haven't done so in ages. Until next time...

What's been going on...

So, lots has taken place over the last 10 days since I've blogged. I've had some time to blog, but I'm keeping my mind pre-occupied with other things lately, things I actually enjoy more than writing. So, let me start with the most exciting news (to me).

We found a kitten. I know, I know, we do NOT need more cats, nor do we want more, but some jerk dropped a kitten off (maybe more) next to our mailbox. We were driving home I want to say Thursday before last and there she was. LaVaughn got out of the car and chased her down, then we brought her down to the house.

She's young, probably no older than 3 months and was super skinny. She had some eye irritation going on and started sneezing quite a bit over the weekend, so I called Monday and made her vet appointment for Thursday. Her check-up went good, aside from being a tad on the sickly side, but Heather said she really didn't even look that bad. Her lungs sounded good, so she was almost certain she had a viral infection which resulted in a URI. She's on 10 (I think) days of Clavamox now.

LaVaughn and I both swear up and down that she's Bart's kitten. She looks identical to him, even when he was a kitten. I would almost put money on the fact that she's one of his babies, which warms my heart. I miss Bart so much and think of him often. Even more now, but it doesn't make me as sad as my memories of him. We've decided to name her Clementine, which fits her so well.

Cersei isn't too keen on the idea of having another kitten around, but she does seem to be warming up to her. Too bad Clementine wants absolutely nothing to do with poor Cersei.

Crappy picture, but isn't she cute??

I've actually (slowly) started getting back into sewing lately. I sewed not one, but TWO cage sets last week! It was so much fun and such a warm welcome back into the world of vending when my cage set sold literally two minutes after I posted it. She even bought another, but has yet to pay for it. I cut out a set today that I'll hopefully get around to sewing tomorrow.

Sewing and coffee go hand in hand.

This is the second set I did. It's one of my all time favorites. 

In gaming news -- not sure if you know this or not, but Resident Evil 5 was released at the end of June. JUNE!! Do you realize how long we could have been playing this game?? It's only one of the best RE co-op games out there. As soon as I found out, I ordered it. Resident Evil 4 comes out at the end of this month. I'm dying...

Day before yesterday I had to drive my aunt to The Laser Spine Institute in Saint Louis. Boy what a day! The drive was effortless, but the waiting, that was the hardest part. I think LaVaughn and I sat out in the waiting area for over 3 hours! We watched what seemed like dozens of episodes of Like It or List is (not sure if that's the name) while we waiting on her to come out. 

They had a dining area with free food -- mainly some creepy chips, chopped salad, half sandwiches and several different beverages (mainly hot teas and coffee). I got a coffee at one point, but had to throw it away due to its raunchiness. We left with a couple things of apple juice which we had yesterday. 

My aunt got all of her day one testing done and thankfully she didn't have to go back until today to do the rest. Now all we can do is hope that they'll be able to help her out with a VERY minimal surgery.

Since we were in the neighborhood, we asked Christina if she would meet us and pick up the boys that had to be shipped. Since I haven't really talked about the gliders any, I'm referring to Nanook and Gendry. They'll be shipped to Florida and Maryland this Friday to meet their new mommies. #nervous

I guess that about sums up the past couple weeks. I live a very boring life, so not much can be expected in the way of thrills and excitement when I blog. Hopefully it's enough to keep you interested. Until next time...

Farewell September...

I really had no intentions on blogging today. Especially considering my last blog was so pressing and... ending. Well I thought that since I have so much gliders news to share that I would just go ahead and blog about it. And not to mention, it's the last day in September, the last day before my favorite month of the year... October.

Ellie (previously Perla) has came around so much! Cindy kept saying how sweet she was, and I believe it too! Cindy is a small scale breeder, such as ourselves, and has only the sweetest joeys. Well Ellie apparently didn't react well to being taken from her parents and sent off with two complete strangers in a completely different environment. So this, in turn, made her very crabby and unhappy. She also didn't want to eat at ALL for the first week. She literally didn't touch any of her food, she would only drink little bits of water and eat yoggies.

She's a completely different girl nowadays. She settled in, she plays all the time, and she eats like a champ! Unfortunately, we still haven't had any luck getting her in with the trio. It's 70% our fault now, because we've completely stopped switching pouches, but we do switch blankies, so we're still semi on track.

Violet and Cas have two joeys that are within a week away from coming OOP. From what I can tell they are WF girls, which excites me a great deal! I believe one is a minimally marked mosaic, but it's very hard to tell. I hope everything goes well with these two. We all know what happened last time. I'm fully prepared to separate them if Cas shows any signs of aggression towards the joeys.

Speaking of joeys, do you all remember Fili? He's now been named to Tenacious, he's the little boy that Tracy is getting, but still hasn't got yet. Well, I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to let him go. He's SO cute and SO sweet! He still lives with his parents, older brother, and two younger sisters, so he's like a marshmallow.

What I would really like to talk about it the dot that he has on his face. I swear, it looks like a pied marker. I got some decent pictures of it, but they're not the best. If it is a pied marker, then there's a good chance he could produce pied joeys. There's also a good chance that he'll never have a pied joey, considering the spot on his face might not even be a marker, so who knows. I just thought it was pretty neat.

Well, I believe I'm going to call it a day. I just finished clipping ALL of the gliders' nails, and not to mention LaVaughn and I just changed everyone's pouches and she even swept the glider room floor. The day has been defeated.

Love & Peace

Here's the pretties Leucistic girl I know, Miss Ellie:

Look at how chubby she is now!

And oh so gorgeous!

Is that not the cutest thing you've ever seen!?
