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
