We received some devastating news last night. Our little ringtail girl, Wanda, passed away. Milli has only had her for 8 days, it's unreal. She apparently started going downhill a few days ago and appeared to be suffering from a UTI, which was treated at the vet yesterday. Apparently she started doing a little better last night, then just did a complete 180 and started having seizures.
It just doesn't seem real, I'm so upset. Milli is heartbroken, of course, but I have this feeling of sadness that I can't shake. She's having a necropsy done next week, so hopefully that will shed some light on exactly what happened to her.
I wish we would have kept her like we originally wanted to go. I have so much regret, I can't even begin to describe the way I feel. I just feel sick.
As much as I really don't want to go, I must. I have to be at work in just over an hour, definitely not looking forward to a day of sadness and loss. Hopefully we'll be busy and I won't have time to think about anything that's going on.

Windows 10...
So, there was a last minute change of plans last night. We ended up meeting Milli last night in PB as opposed to today, which worked better for everyone involved. We met at Petsway, like always, and made the swap. We didn't chit chat for too long, so we parted ways after about 10 minutes.
We headed to Walmart shortly after and grabbed a few things -- nail polish, some makeup, and even a couple movies. It was nice to not have an agenda or have to grocery shop. We ended our night with a moo latte from Dairy Queen and headed home.
We had started cleaning all the drop trays and wheels yesterday, but only got 3 cages done before we fixed dinner and headed to PB to meet her. We finished up the remaining 4 cages today. It's amazing what a difference that makes. I did a partial wipe down on all the cages, but nothing to brag about. I also cleaned the drop trays and swept the room. Aside from that I also vacuumed the house and did laundry. Go me!
I am in NO way bragging about this, but LaVaughn and I got a new mutual laptop just a short while ago. We've been wanting to replace our Compaq for some time now, but never took the plunge. Well a little over a week ago our fan stopped working on us entirely! It's an old computer, we've had it over 4 years. It's been an awesome computer, but it was time to retire the old broad.
We went with an HP, a model we haven't had in years! Like the last HP computer we got was back in 2005 and it was a desktop. We each got an Acer in 2008, then we each got a Compaq, then at the beginning of 2014 we each got an Asus. I'm curious to see how this one goes. It's sporting Windows 10, which is a BIG difference from Windows 7, which is what our Compaq had. We have Windows 8 on our Asus computers, which I despise more than you can imagine!
It's not all tiles, which I love. Tiles are still involved, but only via the start button. There's also a feature called Cortana -- very similar to Siri via your phone. Not sure how I feel about that addition, but aside from that it seems to be a well rounded (and improved) Windows system.
And now that I'm done ranting, here are some pictures from yesterday and today. Until next time...
Love & Peace

Pictures from yesterday:
Oh how I'm going to miss my gorgeous Wanda.
Her parents are going to miss her too.
We got the ENTIRE Saw movie collection for $7.50! Wrong Turn 6 was only $5. Pretty good buys on both, honestly.
I'm really hoping this works well on my nails. I think I have an iron deficiency which is causing my nails to crack and peel. Yuck!
Couldn't leave without a couple new colors. And can you believe they were all under $2 each??
Pictures from today:
Our geese have returned!
Bart's annual mini shoot, naturally.
He's such a love.
He was really enjoying showing off his nail scratching skills.
And lastly, our new HP computer. SO EXCITED!
Touching base...
It has been a crummy week. I had a TERRIBLE anxiety attack late Monday night/early Tuesday morning that has left me an anxious mess all week! I had another "episode" Tuesday night after work, but luckily it passed. It was the same last night, just not as bad. Thankfully (knock wood) I'm feeling a little better today.
I've been SO stressed all week! I'm seriously, it's something different every single day. My main worry is about this coming Sunday; we're getting 2 gliders flown in on the same day and it's killing me! Flights scare the crap outta me, there's always a potential for layovers or gliders getting left in cargo in a different city!
Aside from that, I've been stressing myself to DEATH about intros! We've been trying to get Declan/Ellie and Neal/Fiona together. We did tent time Monday night and things went fairly well. Declan, Fiona, and Neal all hit it off -- guess they remembered each other. Ellie and Neal even did okay, it was Fiona and Ellie that didn't get along. Well we left them in the cage together, then out of nowhere Neal started attacking Ellie. LaVaughn put them all together Tuesday, but they ended up having to be separated. We're going to try tent time again tonight around 9 and see how things go.
Aside from being a nervous wreck the past few days, not much else has taken place. I've taken lots of pictures, as you'll see below, but other than that there's really been nothing to blog about. So, until next time kiddies...

Pictures from Monday:
These are the c-links that were part of a co-op order. I paid for these months ago! I would have forgotten all about them had they not kept talking about them on a daily basis.
Pictures from Wednesday:
Gorgeous artisan cherry tomatoes.
This old rustic dog house makes for some of the best pictures in the late evening.
The critters:
Milla knows it's coming.
Fletcher always looks spooked.
Miss Una:
And lastly, Miss Zoe's photoshoot:
Pictures from today:
A preview of joey pics that I took today, this is Pietro:
Wanda
Jeremy
Elena
Some type of gorgeous wild mushroom.
The yard looked stunning today.
Bart is always doing this to me outside.
The lighting made for some GORGEOUS pictures of Milla.
Just look at her, she's stunning!
I love this one.
And this one.
More of the shroom.
It looks like she's going to snatch it.
I recently stumbled upon these gorgeous weeds, better known as the Jewel Weed:
Jewel weeds oddly look lie an orchid.
Most refer to these "flowers" and trumpet or horn shaped.
And lastly, a mini Jasper shoot:
This. One. Is. To. Die. For!!
