This week was pretty dang exhausting. I got a second job at Taurus Dog Training and Daycare, down by the Mansfield Dam (for those of you who know where that is) on 620. The am shift there starts at 6:30, which means I have to be up by 5:30. It's not *TOO* bad, except yesterday. Yesterday I worked 13 hours, a 7 hour shift at Taurus immediately ( Read more... )

I have a secret knitting project that ABSOLUTELY MUST BE DONE no later than December 28th. I'm going to work on it when I finish this post, but I have been BAD and it is not as done as it should be. Not in crisis mode yet, but still. On top of that I have Jen's bachelorette party to help plan, and many other knitting/crocheting projects I wanted to ( Read more... )

The season for ball python breeding has begun. Know how I know? Tonight Stick, Branch, Blossom, and Stem all refused their rats. Now, sometimes Branch, Blossom, and Stem have been known to not *strike* a rat and then go on to eat it later, but I'm not holding out hope (especially for Blossom, this is her 3rd week in a row). The weather's getting ( Read more... )

Naturally, I freaked and rushed him to the emergency vet. They weren't too experienced with reptiles, but suggested it might be heart failure or respiratory related. He was on oxygen through the ( Read more... )

Sooo....I'm really posting out of a feeling that I *should* post something, since I haven't posted in a month. Well, things are same-ish, 'bout to graduate this semester if I can pass my two classes. But! New animal things are going on, so I will talk about that.

( Lots of animal news here! )

Okay, so, my leaf chameleon tank that Jen and I built ages ago was starting to look kind of crummy. Like, half the plants were dead because somehow I can keep animals alive just fine but plants are beyond me, and all in all it just looked kind of...bad. And empty of plants. Also, a shelf opened up that is *not* on the windowsill because all of the ( Read more... )

This is based starting from the beginning of Prince Caspian, going off the assumption that fauns are immortal, and that Lucy and Tumnus were in a relationship before she and the other Pevensies vanished.

For the others, Narnia was like a dream, a magical place visited for a while, then left to return to the humdrum reality of England in the 1950s. ( Read more... )
