There is a chance I might not get to go to Old Perlican afterall...:o( I will find out tonite.It depends on if Uncle Neil has room, as he will be bringing out some lumber and flooring to do nanny's floor.If he has room, mom and me can go the weekend...*crosses fingers*...
Chloe has been sick lately...stomach sick and has been sneezing today.However she had an appointment with the public health nurse just the other day and it isn't serious.We have been giving her children tylonal (sp?) and the cough and cold stuff...
Well I got my order from "Canadian Feeders"...the crickets were awesome!Very large and fat, gut loaded greytly!They are very noisy too.I was impressed, as they are alot bigger then the pet store crickets!Even the adults you get in the pet stores are not this big!I was really impressed and will be ordering 250 this time.I only ordered 50 as it was my first time ordering from them and I never knew what to expect!As for the mealworms...I had a problem with my first batch.I ordered 250 of them and well, of course...being a first time customer and all...there were grain mites in them...very gross and I was so disturbed!They are little white mites and were crawling everywhere!*shudder*...I immedialty contacted Rob of "Canadian Feeders" and told him about it.He got Cory and Dee to come by and give me 250 new mealies, since these were infested.I never had to pay for the new ones and they even threw a couple extra in! It was very nice.I did find out more about grain mites tho...they infest grains and whatnot and were in the chicken mash used for the mealies.Grain mites are harmless to reptiles,humans,rodents and other animals...so I never had to worry there!However they breed and infest easily!So disgusting!They can live in cracks and crevices for years without eating until they come in contact with grains...and the females lay up to 800 eggs...so nasty!I am now afraid to pick at the new batch of mealies, altho I know there is nothing in them and already fed Bear some.I will be feeding Tanjobi some too as a treat, already found out he likes crickets!He actually eats everything I give him, not a picky turtle like Amanda's!Haha...
Today I had to go to the BP office, as since it isn't open to the public until the weekends...there are resident dogs there that don't have foster or adoptive homes yet and they need to be fed,walked,played with...etc...and some are on meds.So throughout the day, volunteers go over and take care of the dogs for an hour.So I went there today at 1pm.The resident dogs there today were Cherry and Marcy, two VERY sweet female beagles who have been surrendered.Cherry is a little nervous and has cherry eye in both eyes, poor girl and she depends on Marcy...so they need a home together...They have been at the office for a month...such a sin.I haven't been at the office in a month, so I only met them today.The other two resident dogs were Hanky, a gorgeous beagle with some humping and destructive problems.He had a foster home, but managed to get out and is now back at the office.And last but not least is Murphy.He is a 6 month od puppy, but is very large and tall on his legs.Looks like he is a beagle/pointer mix.He is gorgoeus and such a cutie!They will be at the office until they get a foster or adoptive home.Anyway so I went over there to look after them today for an hour, will be going again next week.I was supposed to be at the village mall for the BP info booth, but I cancelled as I most likely will be going out of town.However if I don't go, then I may go by the office and see if they need extra help, which they usually do if it is busy.Afterwards, Sheila and I went over to the Village mall to pick up the coins from the fountain.The fountain in there always give the coins that are tossed in to charities around the island and this time it is for BP.So we went and got them.There were 6 buckets of coins from the fountain for us!Thats real good!They will need to be counted and cleaned now and I think that will be done on the weekend.Apparently the fountain is being taken out of the mall...hmmmm...
Sprite is gonna give birth ANY day now...I am thinking maybe tonite or tommorrow.She has been really nesty and shoving everything into her nest...food dishes,toys,paper and of course the blankies I gave her.I also gave her feathers,tissue and paper for her to shred into her nest.Also the babies are very active and you can see and feel them now!So cute...I cannot wait!!!!!!!!
Ummm...thats all I think I have to say.I do alot of rambling, but it is ok...it is MY journal...lol...
