Regina & Zelena

So, it's not normal for me to be blogging on a work night, but I wanted to share Ginny and Norman's newest additions with you all!

They have a standard girl (Regina) and what appears to be a white mosaic (Zelena). I'm talking with a fellow breeder to figure out her color, because I'm stumped! There's no way this pair can produce leucistics, so this joey almost has to be a white mosaic.

What's even more exciting is we have NEVER had a white mosaic before, ever! This is a first time thing for us and I couldn't be happier if that's what she years. Years ago I used to dream of one day producing a white mosaic, but it never happened. We've always had darker gliders, so all of their joeys would be nearly as dark as them.

I cannot wait to see what this girl looks like when she's colored up more!

Here's Regina:



And Zelena:



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

Playtime with Norman:







Playing dice for Q-Tips...

What a busy few days it's been! I guess that's why it's been so long since my last post -- 1 week tomorrow! So, I left you with Norman and his penis issues. Well thankfully, things are finally starting to look up (knock wood), The color has practically returned to normal and it's retracted by 80%. We've been keeping him very lubricated with Vetericyn and KY Jelly.

He's been living alone for a week now, which is heartbreaking. After he started to heal, he starting crying for his family. He's 4 months old, but such a baby in some ways still. Once he's 100% recovered from this, we're going to introduce him to Ginny. They will (hopefully) make the cutest couple!

Speaking of gliders, I'm going to give you a rundown on all the happenings with all the mamas and their babies. Ellie is FINALLY starting to show, quite a bit, actually. Charli is fairly huge and was evening singing a couple days ago. Chloe's babies are huge and fluffy and so sweet. Jim has a home lined up, but Dale is still available. Kira's little girl is so cute, but she's a little punk. I'll probably create an ad for her later this week.

In cat news, Toby is still missing. Have I even mentioned that he's been gone for 2 weeks now? Bart disappeared for over 3 weeks, so I'm still holding out hope for Toby. Mason and Jasper have been MIA for the past 2 days now, but Mason showed up today, thankfully. Cersei and Bart hang around the house almost all the time, which is great. I just wish the boys would stop running off. As much as I don't want to admit it, I think Bart is chasing them off and fighting them.

So, aside from animals, not too much as been going on. I've been working and sewing, that's pretty much it. I worked Saturday for just over 3 hours -- not that I'm complaining. Sunday I sewed a cage set, vacuumed the house, vacuumed the glider room, cleaned drop trays, did laundry, and cleaned the rat cage. Busy day! Monday I had to drive my aunt to Cape so that she could get an injection in her back... Not fun! We left the house just before noon and didn't get home until almost 8.

I was so aggravated at myself. I completely forgot to get the Redbox game and movie that we rented, so as soon as we got home, LaVaughn and I had to turn around and go straight into Piedmont before 9 that night. This was after we shut the chickens and ducks up, fed the cats, dogs, and put the groceries away. I also had to feed the gliders when we got back from Piedmont just before 9. I was so exhausted! I also had to work the following day, which completely sucked. It didn't help that we were super busy -- you have no idea how sore I am from running all over the place at work.

Today I've been semi chill. I cut out a cage set last night. Oh yeah, let me break here for a second and tell you about the fleece that arrived in the mail. I ordered fleece from Hancock last week and it arrived Monday, but they were out of 3 different things that we ordered, so I had to order fillers from Fabric.com which won't  be here until Saturday. Sigh...

Anyways, I had one that was paired up, so I cut that out last night and sewed it up today. A lady that ordered a cage set from me last week and paid via money transfer (at Walmart) commented on the set I posted a little while ago and then she sent me a message. She told me that she loved it and wanted it, but she didn't get paid for a few days. I could tell how much she wanted it, so I told her I had no problems holding it for her.

I hate that the rest of our fleece won't be here for a few more days. I badly want to cut more and sew.

Hmm... what else. Monday while we were waiting on my aunt, we decided to do some much needed grocery shopping. We loaded up on Morning Start and Cinnabon coffee creamer while we were there. After that we headed to Hastings where we walked around and ended up scoring Clay and Gemma POP! Funko's to complete our Sons Of Anarchy collection. Yay!

They had a "Buy One Get One For 50% Off" sale on their POP! Funko toys, but we thought they were all 50% off, so we had like 9 of them -- 7 being Walking Dead ones. It didn't take us long to put them all back once we figured out what the sale really was, haha. Oh well, maybe next time. :)

Well I guess that's all for now. There will be lots of cute joey pictures at the bottom that I took today. Hope you enjoy...

Love & Peace
