Insert blog title here...

I am seriously so sick of trying to think of blog titles. I know I've complained about this before, but it's just so hard sometimes! And I hate using the same title more than once, that drives me crazy!

Anyways, the main reason I wanted to blog today was because I needed to fill you all in on what's going on with Hadley! You remember the chick that was planing on getting her, the one that already paid for her? Well she's not getting her anymore! She messaged a couple days ago and started asking questions about her lineage, which she didn't approve of. First, let me explain that...

Pip has a full lineage, it's Sadie's that is spotty. Sadie had a full lineage when we first paired her with Pip. Then after a while, Annette and the guy that added Sadie's dad's lineage removed it when he and Annette got into an argument. This was a BIG deal on Facebook for a while, then it simmered down. Sadie does have lineage, it's just not there anymore, which really sucks on our end. It doesn't matter now that Pip's neutered, but it did knock Hadley out of a home. :(

Athena (the chick that was getting Hadley) said she really hated doing it, but she just didn't want to add bad lineaged gliders to her breeding pairs and wanted to spend the money on a different glider. So now, we have to wait on our Paypal check to come in the mail and then send it right back, lol.

I'm not overly upset about it though, I don't want Hadley going to someone that doesn't want her.

After all this happened, I was telling Kelsey - the chick that was getting Charli and Avon - and she said she would love to take Hadley! Kelsey has had no intentions of breeding from the very beginning, so lineage isn't a problem. She also said she would take Sadie and Pip's next joey, no matter what it was. So now that Pip is neutered, Hadley will just stay with her parents until her younger sibling is OOP and weaned, then they will go to Kelsey.

In other news... We got a new turkey!! She's a beautiful all white turkey that has the most gorgeous eyes! And the kicker... she's friendly! This chick that my aunt got her from hand raised her, so she's actually not scared of people! I'm not sure what breed she is, at first I was think a Broad Breasted White (BBW, lol), but she doesn't really look like one. I'll have to ask my aunt. We also haven't though of a name for her yet. We shall see!

Well, I suppose that's all for now, until next time...

Love & Peace

Friday's happenings...

Oh how I hate my last day off. I'm always thinking, "Ugh, I have to go back to work tomorrow." It makes it even worse when I have to be there at 1! I hate coming in then, it's always so packed. Oh well, what can you do, right?

I don't think I mentioned this, but we ordered 8 new yards of fleece from Joann.com a while back. On second thought, I think I did write about this. Well anyways, we got it yesterday! It doesn't match up as well as I hoped it would - which is unusual, we're usually so go at that - but it matched up well enough. I can't wait to sew it next week!

Aside from the excitement of new fleece, we also held all our little beauties today. But that's nothing new, we hold them every day that I don't work. I love the bonding sessions we have with them. I don't think they mind either, they get their faces stuffed!

Speaking of gliders, Kira is already doing loads better today! Her lip looks SO much better, it's insane. I'm so, so happy that we found that awesome vet. It makes you rest easy knowing that there's a glider vet so close to you!

Again, while we're on the subject of gliders, I may as well go ahead and confess my love for Charli. And no, I'm not talking about white ass Charlie, I'm talking about Charli - formerly Nala. Yes, we've finally decided on a name for her! One that's much better than Nala! Simba's new mom has also decided on a name, she's naming him Avonaco! o.O I've been calling him Avon - pronounced like Avan. Anyways, like I was saying, I'm in love with Charli. She's my baby and I just love her face. I think about her all the time, lol. It's actually kind of pathetic. I'm just so happy we finally kept one of Kira and Logan's babies!

I know this is so random, but I brushed the shit out of Milla today. I'm sure all of you know by now that she's a German Shepherd and has like 12 layers of fur. That poor thing sheds ALL the time! We're taking her and our aunt's dog, Fletcher, to the groomer in a couple weeks and getting them shaved! Should be a blast!

And lastly, LaVaughn found a couple of cicada shells (I thin that's what they're call, maybe hulls?) and of course, I wanted to take a picture of them, which I did. They were awesome.

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

Love & Peace

Tip of the day...

Everyday around 2PM, I like to check on Kira and her joeys, just in case there would be an extra little body part or two hanging out. As I pulled the pouch out, I noticed a little tail with what appeared to be a large, white area. As I very gingerly pulled the little tail up -- all the while keeping Kira preoccupied with yoggies -- I noticed that it was the tiny white tip joey's tail. This confused me a great deal, considering I could have swore that I saw a larger white chunk. As I looked a little close, I saw that not one, but BOTH joey tails were hanging out!!

And my conclusions were right... we have a tiny white tip and a very large white tip!! Ahh, I'm so excited!!

In other, equally exciting news, my aunt got us 6 new chicks today! They're around the same size as our other chicks, so they can go straight to the chicken house. She got 3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Leghorns. They are SO beautiful and all pullets!! The white chicks remind me of doves for some reason. They actually look nothing like them, so I don't get why I see that.

In glider news... LaVaughn and I got all of Stacie's gliders out today, fed them mealworms, took their picture and even recorded a short video, per Stacie's request. They're all so cute and really love mealies! Button nearly took my finger when she dropped her worm. Apparently the tips of my gingers and tiny, squirmy and worm like.

Omg, I almost forgot about this! All of our rats got on famously the first few days, now everyone is spatting and fighting! The newbies stay balled up in the corner and Emilie and Sally act like they run the place. I mean, I know it was theirs first, but they're being total bullies! The fighting went on all day and night, we finally just had to separate them. We have the new girls in a smaller cage in another room. I freaking hate that they're fighting like this! Sucks balls. Now we're going to have to try to slowly introduce them. *sigh*

Okay, I'm out for now.

Love & Peace
