;-) Coffee and M&M's.
Try talking to me on a rare day I miss out on coffee and a bit of chocolate and you'll soon agree that it's healthier for both of us if I get my caffeine bwa-ha-ha :-p

I wanted to let you all know how the baby is doing that hatched very prematurely.

She is doing good and bad at the same time...

Her tail, which was zig-zaggy and dry- finally dropped last night so she is now a preemie frog-butt. It is healing very well.
She has a terrible time shedding, and I have to do a lot of soaks to help her because it comes off in very ragged chunks that she has trouble getting off herself even in the good humidity.
She is not really growing much at all. She is over 2 months old now, and still doesn't register on the scale.

Her clutchmate, however, is doing great. Healthy and growing.

The preemie, despite all the negatives, is still active and alert, so that is good. I have her in her own separate enclosure since she is too small to be kept with her clutchmate.

I wonder how she will do as time goes on. Is she strong enough to make it, or will the flaws catch up with her and take over? If she can't grow, will her organs still grow inside- kind of like what happens to fish whose growths get stunted and they end up dying because their organs get too big for their bodies? Or will she live a long, happy life and just be a tiny crestie with special needs?

These pics were taken just a few minutes ago. Look how tiny she still is, and how bad the sheds stick to her :-(

The last step to a fabulous grooming is a mud bath :-|

I groomed my Shibas today. Brushed them nice, sprayed them to smell pretty, etc... and as soon as I finish, what is the first thing that happens? Yoshi runs to dig in the dirt, then Ayla runs to follow him! Then, of course, Yoshi leaves the scene right away and lays off to the side as Ayla continues to have fun ruining her lovely white coat! Yagh!!! Can't help but laugh though. Good thing I enjoy dog grooming enough to have to do repeat sessions sometimes...

Cute pic of Salamence

Just wanted to post this cute new picture of 'Salamence', my Tokay Gecko, I took before :-)

BTW if anyone is wondering why I haven't e-mailed them back, it's because I am not able to send e-mails. I can receive them though, but it won't let me send ever since I updated my OS. Hopefully I can fix that soon.

They have the whole house to play, but....

....

They choose to have their intense play-wrestling matches UNDER the coffee table at midnight while I am trying to relax with a video game hahaha :-)
Had to remove my cup of tea before that became a disaster as well!

Ayla discovers Ridley and thinks he looks tasty. Yoshi lets her know that the bearded dragons are family...

Ayla + Fresh Dirt = fun!

Thankfully, having a coat that repels dirt, she did not need a bath. It all fell off when she got up and shook a bit. She had fun though :-)

Shiba Inu playtime :-)

After a few days of Yoshi having to get used to having another dog in his territory, they have quickly become good friends!
Here are some pictures I got while they were zooming around the yard having a great time together. Ayla is a bit overweight (her previous owners kind of overdid it on the treats hehe...) but with all the exercise she is getting now, it shouldn't be too long before she can keep up with Yoshi :-)

Meet my new doggy! 'Ayla'

We took a trip today to adopt another Shiba Inu! Yoshi is still getting used to having another dog around, but he is yelling at her a lot less now, haha. She is an absolute angel, and has so much in common with Yoshi. I love this breed so much :-)
Her name is Ayla.
