Monday

With the exception of Moose, everyone was great today.

 

I was amazed how well Pancake, Fredrica and Oscar played together  Pancake hissed a lot, and there were a few squeals, but they were all lively and really seemed to have a good time. This was the first time I met Oscar, he's an absolute doll, sweet as can be and obviously a big hit with the girls he's met so far.

 

Cash is certainly looking better, he ate about 1/4 of a can, and I left another 1/4 can in his cage. There is 1/2 can in Randy's fridge in a bowl, as well as an opened can that I didn't realize was there, so it should be used up first. He had eaten all the a/d in his cage. The three boys were playful and active. Jinx sure likes the soft treats, he's a real treat hound.

 

Sophie and Herc were in good spirits too .. Sophie managed to climb up my pant legs without my noticing it .. she's such a little shark, she almost got my leg, luckily I got her out just in the nick of time !! I think it's a challenge she just can't resist, because she was otherwise totally sweet with me.

 

Moose had a good walk, although it was a bit shorter than usual as it was quite wet out and kept trying to rain. He played for awhile with me in the back room, but when I left to do cages he curled up in one of the comfy beds and went to sleep, so I switched him into the other room to help me clean and he sniffed around, played a bit until he found the dog, and that was pretty much it, he spent the last 1/2 hour of his time out attached to, actually humping, his mate. Only tone finally broke his hold.

 

Everyone had and hour and a half out .. cheers for Pancake, lots of poop in her box (all in the same corner .. funny girl) what a relief !!!

 

Cheers all, Sue

Monday

Great day, as usual the fuzzies cheered me up and made my day.

 

Jinx, Loot and Cash were just their usual fun selves, Cash ate a nice 1/4 can of AD no problem, and I left him another 1/4 can in his cage.

 

Fred wasn't really interested in her AD at all, she had a couple of bites, I left hers in her cage, but the one from yesterday was still there and didn't look as if she had eaten much. She's a dear, we tubed for a bit and she played very gently and was loads of fun. Vulva still very swollen, but she seemed in good spirits.

 

Pancake is so adorable, she too plays so gently, she's so soft and pudgy and snuggly. We had a nice walk, she's so great on the leash, follows along like a little dog most of the time. BUT she's a total slob, NO poop in the litter box at all, it was in two corners of the pan on the bottom of the cage, and there were two or three more that looked as if she stuck her butt as far over to the edge as possible, managing to get poops on the cage just at the edge of the pan and on the floor under the cage. I put a litter pan in her cage from one of the boys that needed the sides cleaned, and put her food bowls down on the bottom floor with her litter pan.

 

Moose had a great walk, we were out for 45 minutes, we went all around the block and spent loads of time around the empty building .. too bad someone's mowed all the grass in his favorite places (at either end of Randy's complex) and around the empty building, but he really enjoyed it anyway. We didn't find the doormat he fell in love with on his last walk, sorry Moose, it was one of those hard bristly ones and he spent a lot of time sniffing, trying to dig, rolling himself all over it. When we came back in I put him back in the cage as I had ferrets out in both rooms and figured he could come out and help me clean later, I was so surprised he immediately went soundly off to sleep, I did wake him back up to clean out his cage and to help me clean up the the garage room, but he curled up in the cage with the stuffed toys and went back to sleep. I woke him once more for tone and a big snuggle and he went happily to bed.

 

Sophie and Herc were in good moods today too, Sophie was sweet with me, no signs of biting and they played together and had a ball.

 

I guess I better 'fess up my major blunder of the day .. I didn't close the garage room door properly, and the threesome had a great time exploring back there, luckily not for long and most luckily no one escaped out the hole in the garage door .. my poor heart, the fear rush was too much !!!  I know that door has to be pulled shut quite hard to get it to click, obviously I just wasn't thinking.

 

I washed the garage room floor, and used the silver bin in the 'cleaning closet' to keep recyclables that can't go in with the litter .. I'll put it out with the recycling cause I'm in on the same shift as the recycling. I also used up all the paper towels that were out and didn't replenish .. lovely job whoever refilled all the treat containers, everyone had lots for thanksgiving . and happy thanksgiving to you all too .. cheers, Sue
