I finally helped my little quail hatch - its membrane, despite being well oiled, was getting tighter and I could see it was breathing more shallowly. It was only just ready to come though as I hit a tiny bit of blood as I helped before it pushed itself free. When its wing peeled back from its face and that big eye looked at me my heart melted! I was worried for a minute it had curled toes but they are fine. You'll have to wait for a photo though as my camera battery ran out before it had downloaded the photos!

Just got an update on Castor from my sister .........

Just got home from work and visiting Castor. There is a slight improvement in him, not as much as I would like, but at least it is an improvement. He was eating some food out of my hand and he knew I was there and he smelt the blankets I bought from home.

Keep thinking positively!! You never know!

Check Goodwill . Sometimes you can get good books cheap.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

Omg, when i vacuum it fills up before i even finish. 2 cats + 2 dogs= hairy carpets.

I swear the cat sheds more lol

But Gator is starting to shed again with the weather changes

Do you think that lady's dogs were 'puppy mill' puppies perhaps? I know those poor things can be kept in such filthy conditions that you don't have a hope of training them to toilet properly. I'd be keeping them in a crate indoors and making sure they had a secured run outdoors they could go in. Our dog stays on her bed unless we tell her to get off inside. I couldn't cope with the dog hair everywhere otherwise! Some days she leaves a trail!

I know one was a rescue, not sure on the other 2. They are poodles so they don’t shed thank goodness. I would quit!

Finally!

They do go outside for a limited time and then come in and pee. Last time I was there I saw one lift his leg and pee on a basket of clean laundry, couldn’t believe it.

Perhaps the department of health needs to make a visit.

I was not joking when I mentioned that my first night here I sat on the camp bed and cried, trying to work out where I was going to book a flight to and set up home on my own!

I suppose you had seen the place before you moved in. But the reality doesn't set in until you realize you will really will be staying 'forever' Good thing you didn't have a stressful job, that would have made it worse

You are a strong person @Teila!

I charged them $20 an hour, thought the banker was going to stroke out. I should have charged double that.

Or even more until the banker was seriously considering doing it him/her self.

I just mean like I don't get how he lives with dead lizards..

They make great pets, you don't have to feed or clean up after them. Kinda like a Pet Rock ®
