PetsWay or bust...

We had take a little trip to Poplar Bluff yesterday and decided to stop off at PetsWay and see what all was new. Truthfully, it was the same old crap they've had for years! That didn't stop is from having fun or almost bringing home another animal... I know, it's horrible.

Before I go any further, I would like to announce that we got rid of Sirius and Remus. They're were just sitting there, not getting enough attention. And since they are friendly birds, we felt super bad about it. I mean, it's okay for Rhonda and Eric to not get handled, they hate it. Luckily, a nice bird couple wanted them. And now they have them, lol.

Okay, back to the PetsWay talk. Since we got rid of a couple animals, of course we wanted to get more. I mean, it just wouldn't be normal if we didn't. So what animals did we almost get? Why rats of course. We stopped by the poor, defenseless future snake food and automatically fell in love with this beautiful little black and white rat. Then we saw a cute little hooded cream rat under her. And next to her sat an really cute brown rat. You better believe we considered getting all three. When an employee finally came over to use, we asked if we could hold them. He opened the door and let us fumble around with all of them. And to our surprise, all three of the rats we girls! Seriously, they were all girls! We took that as our sign to not get a rat and after that, we left.

The stupidity level of the pet service employees seriously amaze mean. I mean, how hard is it to sex a rat and them separate the males from the females?? I can't hardly stand going into the pet stores anymore and look at all the mistreated animals. And when you actually have a serious question about an animal, you better believe the employees have NO idea what you're talking about. Ugh, I'm done with my rant now...

After that, we went to Walmart (which was a big mistake) and picked up a few new things to accent our kitchen. And while we were there, we found the most kick ass shirt EVER! You'll see the one I'm talking about a the bottom.

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

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

A wild deer at the park.

Another wild deer at the park.

This was at the Sam-A-Baker state park. There are deer ALL over that place.

This is cute.

A hermit crab changing shells.

Ugh, look at it legs.

I believe this is a Pink-Toed Tarantula.

Probably my favorite picture of the hermit crabs.

This is the little rattie that we wanted to adopt.

The other two we wanted were under her.

This one kills me. So pitiful...

Some cute little albino mice.

This is the other little girl we wanted.

My favorite lizard of all time, the bearded dragon.

Look how cool this guy is.

Love the iguanas.

A little black ferret sleeping in his food dish.

Wow, guinea pigs are seriously crazy looking.

Sleepy ferret.

I forgot what kind of pink bird this is.

Look at the dove all balled up in its fat, lol.

A side view of the dove.

Rat blocks for Evan and Jonah's cage.

Robbie's favorite ferret treats... Ferret Bites.

Here's the vintage Pink Floyd shirt. This is seriously one of the coolest shirts EVER!

That's what it said, but part of me doesn't want to believe it.

Robbie having a nap on LaVaughn. What a sleepy little ferret.

A sick ferret is definitely not a happy ferret...

Ugh, last night was awful! Poor little Robbie was really down on his luck and just not feeling well. When he gets out to play, he always runs around and rubs himself across random items on the floor. Well, last night there was no rubbing. There wasn't even any running! He just walked straight to the kitchen and laid down. I went in there to see what he was doing, then I decided to pick him up and hold him. LaVaughn came in shortly after that and rubbed his head while I was holding him. What freaked us out the most at this time, he just laid there and took it. He even dozed off a couple times!

We automatically started following him around to see if he was going to the bathroom, eating and drinking. He went to the bathroom once while he was out and it was a bit runny and lacking. The first this that went through my mind was that he had an obstruction. We looked and looked for ferret or cat lax, but couldn't find any. That's when we had to resort to the petroleum jelly. We got about an inch of that down him and let him go.

A couple hours passed and he still hadn't eaten anything, which was really scary. Then he got up and decided to go to the bathroom. Sure enough, it was the dreaded green slime poop! Also know as the Green Mystery Virus. Or, in a more delicate term, it's called ECE. After he went to the bathroom, we were actually relieved. We decided to put him up and make him a little gruel.

For those of you who don't know what gruel is, it's 1 tablespoon of your ferrets food, 2 tablespoons of water and a tablespoon of ensure for taste, but you don't have to have it.

Right before he went to bet, he actually ate some, which was great. When we got up today, we headed to the store and picked up some Pedialyte and chicken baby food. The Pedialyte is good to add to ferrets water for hydration and the baby food is just more delicate on their systems than their regular food.

Luckily, by the time we got home, he was actually eating on his own and going to the bathroom on a regular basis. And it was nice, firm poop that was more of a normal brown color.

He's still feeling a bit under the weather, but he's already LOADS better than what he was last night. I'll keep you posted on how he's doing.

Until then, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Pics:

Just a picture of the Pedialyte and baby food. Definitely someone everyone needs to have in their ferret emergency kit... 

All the leaves are brown...

And the sky is gray? Well, it's not really gray, more of a sky blue. It's days like today that remind me of how much I love the Fall weather. And not just the weather, the scenery as well.

It's truthfully one of the best times of the year to take photos. All the colors mesh together so well and make for a beautiful surrounding. I haven't taken a lot of good photos lately, so these are a real treat, lol. I can tell what I'm going to be doing for the next couple weeks now.

Well, I suppose that's all, just mainly wanted to share some pics. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

Robbie's nice, clean ferret cage.

Just look at the beautiful fall colors on this leaf.

I love how the sun shines from behind, beautiful.

Fletcher's actually looking! Little mutt, lol.

Decaying Willow Tree Leaf

Ground spider web.

Love the flowers this time of the year.

This is probably one of my favorites.

Or this one.

Esther licking her lips, lol.

A perfect maple leaf. Degrassi anyone? :)

Susie takes such great photos.

A couple buckeyes my auntie gave me. :)

Look at their color! It almost looks like cherry oak!

Sheer randomness...

I couldn't really think of anything exciting to post about today, so I figured I would just throw a bunch of random crap together and see how that works.

We watched Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark the other day. The previews were presented well, but I didn't figure the movie would be good at all! Well, I was proven wrong. The movie was actually pretty well composed. The "monsters" in the movie could've been a little different, but they were okay. And I have to say, I didn't mind Katie Holmes either. I'm SO not a fan of her, but I don't think I've watched one of her films since Disturbing behavior. Anyway, definitely check it out if you can.

In gaming news... and no, I'm not talking about Dead Island, I'm talking about Resident Evil 5. We got in this massive kick a few months ago and played it ALL the time. We beat it on Amateur once and Normal twice, then we started playing on Veteran, but didn't finish because we were so burnt out on it. Anyway, we played a bit yesterday and fell in love again. We actually just beat it on Veteran not an hour ago. I'm still stoked about it. And since we beat it on Veteran, we opened up a new level... Professional.

Well, I figured I would have more to talk about, but I don't. So... I suppose that's all she wrote for now. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

And now for the random pictures:

Robbie's peanut butter snack:

 Just look at that ferret tongue.

 May I help you?

 Little troll ferret, lol.

Milla's sucker snack:

 Yes I will have that, thank you.

 Ugh, is that my breath?

 May I have another lick?

 German Shepherd sucker fun, lol.

 Ah! I keel you!

Butternut squash sweat...

Well yesterday was fun...

We've done lots of things pertaining to sugar gliders, but never played host to any potential owners before. Well, I suppose there's a first time for everything!

Yesterday, two lovely people (Heidi and Tim) decided to take a trip down to our place to see what sugar gliders were like. They mainly wanted to come and see the joeys, Summer and Autumn. Luckily, all the gliders were on their best behavior and were wonderful the whole time they were here. Logan got a little grumpy at one point, he just wasn't comfortable being held by a stranger, though. We also fed everyone some mealworms so that they could see what that was like. They were completely grossed out by it at first, but then they realized how fast they actually ate them and didn't mind at all after that.

We didn't spend too much time with the adult gliders, we spent most of our time in the living room with joeys sharing stories and what have you. We learned a lot about them and they learned a lot about sugar gliders. They were like 95% sure they wanted to adopt the joeys before they got here, holding them just pushed them the other 5%, lol. After a few short hours, they decided to head home. Not before putting a deposit down on the twins, who are now called Blossom and Lily. Love their new names!

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

Love & Peace
