The Compulsive Ramblings Of A Philotherian: tulips

I'm merely commenting on the fact that everything is finally starting to bloom -- nothing to do with the temperature. I honestly can't believe how chilly it's been lately. Anyways, the tulips are starting to bloom in my neck of the woods and I couldn't help but go out and photograph them. They'll have fallen of or be torn down by the dog in no time, so I really needed to take advantage.

I also got some super cute pictures of Zoe earlier while she was begging for handouts. She sits still when she wants something, so it's give ample opportunity to photograph her.

In other news, Pip has been put on a 2 week course of antibiotics to help combat his infection. She said that it's either a tooth root abscess or a sinus infection. If it doesn't clear up within a week, he'll have to go back and be sedated for further investigation. I'm hoping that it's just a sinus infection and that these will do the trick.

LaVaughn also went back to the doctor today for a check up after her hospital visit. Since her ear is still swollen, her doctor wants her to have a CT scan at the hospital. They're going to call and schedule that, then they'll let us know when it is.

Well I guess that's all for now. It's short and boring, but it's something. Until next time...

I feel like I should begin this blog by speaking about something grievous that happened yesterday. Charli and Tyler's little (leu?) boy passed away yesterday. He stopped nursing Monday night and showed absolutely no signs of being even slightly interested in doing so. I tried to supplement him 3 different times to no avail.

I knew the entire time his outcome would me grim. I was preparing myself for the fact that he was going die, there was just no way around it. I don't even try to be optimistic anymore -- it's pointless, isn't it?

I did a lot of thinking Monday night about the gliders and how comfortable I was with the numbers we're at now. I was evaluating our breeding gliders and seeing where I stood and how I felt about it anymore. At the time I was ready to neuter everyone and re-home a select number of gliders. I was just so hurt and distraught, I just didn't want to feel like that anymore.

After the waters have calmed, I've settled some and realized that I don't hate or despise having any of the gliders. I do, however, feel uncomfortable with the numbers of cages we have and would desperately like to combine a few. Which we're partially in the process of doing. Intros will be so much easier when we receive our tent from Sara -- it should arrive tomorrow! Yay!

It was cloudy and dim today, there were only a few stray sun rays that made it past the density of the clouds. It made for terrible pictures, but I still managed to get a few.

Speaking of, I nearly slipped up yesterday and failed to take one single photo with the camera. Thankfully I took a few pictures (and a couple slefies) on my phone. I would have probably killed myself -- or someone else -- had I not taken at least ONE picture yesterday. It's just so hard to remember to do so on days that I work. I try to grab the camera as soon as I get home and snap a picture of the cats or food... something!

I'm still shocked by the fact that I'm actually still doing a Project 365. I'm not uploading them every day, mind you, but I am taking them. ;)

I've wrote enough for a short novel today, so I bid you good readings. Until next time...

Love & Peace
