Well another day of torture (not Zoey, me) and torment (from my little angels...can't forget the dog) and I took more pics. I found some from earlier too! I warn you now...this one is going to be very pic heavy!!!
First, this is Sully. he is my 9 year old, 95# son. How cute is he?
He is so gentle with Zoey and I think she is starting to tolerate him...she has licked his nose twice now, no
black beard or even stress marks!
We have had him since he was about 18 months old. The people that had him before had a baby who was allergic to him. From the second he walked into our house, he owned the place. He only lets us live here to pay the bills, feed him and clean up his poop. Isn't that nice of him? (Spoiled absolutely rotten!!) We don't buy dogs. We always end up with dogs who have no home and they end up spoiled rotten. He gets more love and attention than most kids.
He has the most loving eyes.
I found this pic of Zoey (when we were still calling her Nala) from two days after we got her (at 9 weeks, 1 day old). It was the day before we bought her log that is now her new BFF. You can't see all of it, but I found that rock outside (yes, I baked it for over an hour at about 250, just to make sure it had no germs) and she never bothered with it...well, except to poop on it. :roll: So much for her using that to grind down her nails. I do think she was snubbing us. LOL She has grown so much in 3 weeks!!!
I tried to get a better picture of her new 40 gallon. It's tough to get the whole thing in the picture when I am using my phone instead of a camera. She is so used to the smaller cage that I can't seem to pull her away from that silly log to get her to eat!! She is just not used to all the room and won't venture to the other side. I think I need to get a CHE (no, I know I do!) and maybe that will help her move around. I haven't checked the temps on the other side, I am still trying to make sure it gets up to at least 102 for her. It seems I could put her in a shoebox and she would be happy as long as she had that silly log!!! :roll:
I'm not loving that location of her viv. We thought it would be nice because in the winter she has the baseboard heat right behind her plus we have a pellet stove on the other side of the room that gets the temps in there over 80 in the winter. Not to mention, she has a view out of the sliding glass doors. I'm anxious to see her reaction when she sees snowflakes falling.
Just not anxious for summer to end!!!!
Ok, as soon as I wake her up (which she turns into a long drawn out process!!), I warm her up, feed her then put her back in her viv. This is what she does as soon as i put her down...she runs over and hugs her log, then second pic is what she does after she hugs it. Like clockwork...every day. OCD anyone??
"Ah Mr. Log, how I've missed you!!" Look at that sweet face.
Not sure if you can see on this one, but she is so ready to shed. I wish it would just happen already so she can be done with it and get back to her normal self!! She's still a cuddle bug, but she just can't get comfy. I feel so bad for the poor little thing.
If you look closely you can see her arm/foot on the right is more than ready to shed too, but not the left. Weird.
