Now I want a pet rattie. <3
Rat or guinea?
Guinea are not rats. Lol
Sorry, didn't see this!
Lol, all good. I like rats .. they just don't live long. Isn't it two years tops for them?
Not sure. Used to own one. Gave him away.
Well, they're really fun and cute. Smart too. Sweets didn't quite last 4 years... I think rats are 1-2 years, guinea pigs are 2-8.
I can't remember... what happened to her?
She had a back tooth abscess that caused an infection.
Sounds painful :(
It probably was. One of the worst things about prey animals is that they hide their pain, even to their owner. I don't know what degree she was actually suffering before that last day. It got really bad all at once.
Awww, poor baby... :'(
Yeah... I feel like she's still with us on some level though. The other two were grieving terribly for a while, especially Nessa. That changed as soon as we put her ashes and her pawprint up on the shelf across from them. It was like a switch was flipped. The others started acting normal again.
Awww... That's so sweet <3
I LOVE how you gave a new baby a home <3
Thanks. 😁❤️ Heheh, yeah... I wish I could spend more time with her. She's on adjustment period still. I'm not forcing contact more than I need to, just trying to make her comfy and happy. Mostly I talk to her and offer food and treats.
Why can't you spend more time with her?
Is she adjusting well?
She's adjusting well I think. She likes it here. As for spending time with her, a lot of forced contact is ill-advised. Right now I'm sitting right next to the cage though, and she's eating lettuce, hidden right on the other side of the bars. She's getting close to me, and that's a really good sign
Oooooooh!!!! I have a new project for you!
Find a list of all the foods that guineas can eat. Have them try one a week! Bonus if it's healthy and you eat it too hehe <3
Heh I already sort of do that. They have mixed opinions. One thing they can all agree on is that they absolutely love cilantro. Bell peppers are way up there too. Blueberries and dried rose petals just behind.
Do it more! Hehe
I have failed you. You posted two days ago. :(
You're right, I should do it more. Some stuff is pricy though. I fed them nances and they liked it. I didn't. They're weird yellow berries that taste kind of like a gross cheese.
And it's all good. 😁. Reading and playing new stuff.
Playing Tomb Raider 2, it's really actually better than I remember.
Reading He Who Fights With Monsters by Marc Weitz. It's incredible. Close to finished with it, gonna give it a minimum of a 9/10 I think
Stupid mosquitoes.
Missed this one somehow. How's the war with the mosquitos going?
They've slowed down. No more in the house so far, bites are healing and less itchy <3
That's good to hear. 😁
I have an itchy sunburn. Its weird, I only burned a little on my chest and upper back
＼(^_^)／
Hugs? Hugs! 🤗
Idk what it is, but I found it and sent it to you hehe
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!
Not a fan of being sick. :(
Oh no, what kind of sick?
Cold, allergies, my nose will fall off, who knows XD
I hope you feel lots better soon. That doesn't sound fun at all
Pretty sure number 3 is going to happen. ;)
Im actually a lot better than I was, thank you!
Lol, always the biggest concern. Super glad you're feeling better. 😁 I was out in thrift stores today and started feeling really under the weather. I got better again after a while thankfully. Maybe it was all the dust and haunted objects
Or it was just the heat. Lol
That too... And plenty of weather change
Danielchaconx.
Checked out a little bit, he seems really good
I had a meltdown today
Oh no, what happened?
I dont remember lol
Im sorry I'm so laggy :(
Well, I'd try to help if you did. 😅. And no worries... I've felt overwhelmed by a lot of things lately. My replies to most people are getting slower
Why? What's going on?
Am I the special one you always respond to? Lol
Lol, you're one of the special ones for sure.
I dunno... There's a lot going on. My mom has two forms of possible health problems, I have a lot to do over the next weeks. Trying to get a passport and get my hair dyed... Those are the added stresses that I'm actively opting for. The rest is just a lot of car stuff, and taking care of house stuff.
Awww thanks hehe
Uh oh, is she ok????
You traveling?
Why are you getting your hair dyed?
I don't know. She's got a mass on her pancreas, that they don't seem to be too worried about... But they want to check it out. My grandma passed away because of pancreatic cancer... We'll see, she has an appointment today...
Yeah, probably next year. I wanna go on a cruise to Mexico or to Italy or something. 😁
I'm getting my hair dyed because my premature gray looks awkward. I always kinda wanted it, but it just doesn't seem me. I'm going with a really dark blue.
Aww, I'm sorry... Keep me updated.
Wow, that's huge <3
So? Im gray too. Its a badge of honor <3
Ooh blue sounds cool! <3
Lol, my hair is taking too long to adjust to the gray. Maybe getting it dyed soon tonight.
Anyhow, my mom is gonna get a biopsy done next month. So far it doesn't seem bad.
Yeah, id really love to see somewhere outside the US
Lemme know how it turns out!
If they're waiting, maybe that's a good sign?
Whats your dream destination?
Will do. I didn't get it done again yesterday. 😫
I dunno, they're trying for soonish... It's not immediate emergency level at least...
My dream destination is probably Japan, but that one is less feasible at the moment. No one really wants to go there with me.
Im not who I thought I once was.
Whatcha mean?
I keep telling myself things about myself that aren't true. Not anymore...
What things? Whatcha mean?
Ugh. I barely slept last night...
I'm sorry to hear it... Same... Rosie woke me up out of deep REM sleep. Closing my eyes, it looked like there was a wall of monitors in front of me, all flashing rapidly and randomly with vague colors or shapes.
What was that all about?
I dunno. I'm guessing it's what our eyes are during REM sleep or something? Or maybe I'm a robot... I'm not discounting that one
Dumb mosquitoes.
No more mosquitoes! They aren't allowed!
They REALLY like me. Lol
You must show them that you're not afraid!
How???
If one lands on your arm, you could flex your muscle... It makes them explode. 😂 Sends a message.
Huh??? How??? Lol
Because when they're feeding it sends too much blood up into them. 😂
