A sad farewell...

Today has been one hell of an emotional day. Not only did CJ go to his new home today, but so did our ferret, Robbie. CJ's departure was sad enough, but we knew from the time he was two weeks old that he wasn't staying. It was Robbie's departure that really hit home.

LaVaughn and I talked about this literally for weeks! We kept making pros and cons lists, but we would always end up with the same conclusion, "He's fine here, just as he has been for a year." Then a day or two would go by and the same subject would come up. We discussed the fact that he doesn't get enough out of cage playtime and the fact that he is lonely - both of which are true. We knew that we couldn't have another ferret - we tried that before and it was too much. We got him out as much as possible, but knew that it wasn't enough. Then, like I said, after weeks of discussion, we decided to find a new home for him.

I know a lot of people will frown upon this decision, but it was the best decision for everyone involved. He's at a place now where he will get practically 24/7 free roam of the house and be the only pet! I was assured that he would be spoiled beyond recognition. I've been talking to the lady that got him for days. We've emailed, called each other and she's great! I think it's the best place for him to be.

In other, happier news... while we were in Fredericktown today grocery shopping, we decided to pick up some more Tide Pods. We picked up a 14 pack online the other day and they're awesome! I figured our laundry would be the perfect test. We have really thick towels - plus a house full of animals. And believe it or not, they actually work! They smell great and really get the clothes clean. I'm definitely a Tide fan.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

It's almost time!

Kira and Logan's joeys are getting SO close to coming OOP. They're at the "you can look and touch, but can't hold" stage and it's torture! We know for a fact what their sex is, though. We have one standard/BB girl and one ringtail mosaic boy! We're extremely excited and already have a home lined up for the little girl. She will be living with our good friend, Erika!  :O)

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

This is the little ringtail mosaic sugar glider joey. Check out that awesome hood!

This is the little standard/BB sugar glider joey. 

I do believe she's going to be dark!

Check out that thick stripe!

Logan in the double hammock.

They go there when they're ran out of their pouch. :P

The little ringtail boys tail!

Look at those rings!

He's going to be one gorgeous ringtail sugar glider!

Bonus Gallery!

We had to give Robert a bath a couple days ago and I managed to get a couple cute pictures of him. Hope you enjoy!

 Ferret bath time!

He has a love/hate relation ship with bathing. :)

Nothing like a random post on the last day of the month!

Hey again. Everything's been kind of quiet here the past couple days so I don't have anything super excited to blog about. Truthfully I don't think I have anything to blog about, but I do have pictures to share! Hopefully that's good enough.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their last day in January. Possibly the last day in January ever! If the world ends this December, that is, but that's a whole other ball game. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Movie of the day: Savage Streets

Here are the pics:

Some homemade double chocolate cookies that I made last night. They look way better in the picture. They kind of tasted like dried crap. But that's what I get for using instant jello and biscuit mix!

This was taken early this morning before I went to bed. 

He looks crazed!

And always seems to want out at the wort times. *eye roll*

This is our gorgeous snack tray for tonight. Among other things, lol.

Yum! Broccoli!

Back to the daily grind...

It's been forever and a day since we've sewn anything, but we had to finish up a set for someone yesterday, so we're back at it. We had to sew two 5 piece sets, which wasn't too bad. This coming week will unveil another week of semi non-stop sewing. We have to do a 7 piece set for someone, two more 5 piece sets and then a massive 28 piece set for someone else. We may not have to do the 28 piece set this week, which would be awesome, but if we do, whatever.

Back on yesterdays sewing, LaVaughn managed to make Robbie and awesome little hammock/hut thing. I put it in his cage as soon as it was done and he loved it! I got some pretty cute pictures of him examining it.

In today's news, we just got back from town with some light bulbs and stuff for dinner. Since we didn't have Milla with us, we decided to take our neighbors dog with us. He LOVES to go for drive, so we try to take him as much as possible.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. Time to end this slightly boring blog. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

 5 Piece lizard cage set.

 5 Piece butterfly cage set.

 The two together... obviously. :)

 Robbie's long hammock/hut thing.

 Pretty cool ferret bed, eh?

 Yes, he's in it, lol.

 He's partially hanging out.

 Peeking ferret head, lol.

 He looks like he's chocking here, lol. He's into ferret S&M, lol.

 Little fat cat.

 Fletcher going for a drive earlier today.

I think this pup loves car rides more than Milla. :O)

I can feel it coming in the air...

And if you're wondering what I can feel, it's the damn cold weather! Seriously man, it's freezing outside! I just checked the temperature and it said 19 degrees! I tried to stay outside long enough today to take some pictures, but I couldn't stand it! My face was seriously hurting so bad by the time I got back inside, I thought I was going to cry, lol. Good times, good times.

I figured there would be more snow today, but I guess some of it melted in the early hours... bummer. The pictures aren't the best, considering there wasn't enough snow to cover the ground, so everything looks sparse.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pictures from today:

It's patchy, but it's nice.

Check out this awesome ice cycle. Or death cycles as I like to call them, lol.

Here are some pics from yesterday:

Such a sweet boy. <3

Sleepy sugar glider boy.

"Can I please sleep now?"

Notice the bird in the upper left corner.

Yes another gorgeous sunset.

Seriously so pretty.

Some even look like paintings.

Clean ferret house!

Look at Robbie's cute little ferret face. <3

Condensation.

Ferret power nap!

And a couple bonus videos of Deagol from yesterday and the day before:

My last photos...

Just thought I would post the last photos that were taken in 2011. I looked at the clock last night and noticed that it was already 11:30 (no, I didn't party it up last night)! So I grabbed the camera and took a few pictures of ALL the animals. Couldn't think of anything better.

Well, that's pretty much all for now. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

I think rat peeking out of a hole would be better.

Rat photography much? Seriously though, I love this picture.

"Can we help you?"

Such a pretty face. <3

Zoe lounging on her crunchy cat mat.

Have you ever seen a cat that can flirt like that?  :O)

Sleepy kitty.

Look at those eyes! Milla is so beautiful.

Another sleepy kitty.

Not! It's time to play!

The rest of these photos were taken in 2012:

Sad little Una.

She looks like she's crying. :(

This was taken not an hour ago. Pretty decent keyboard pic I suppose.

Sunset over the hills.

Such a serene winter sunset.

Decaying flower. Well, I think it might already be decayed, lol.

Trees in front of falling water.
