Just be careful with Shiro outside, she is so fast. You need a small mesh cage to put her in to be outside. She's too fast to be held while outside, she'd spook and be off in a shot.
22g! WOW that is a bit increase; she's going to be on her way to getting big soon!
I'm very sorry to hear about the lady at the pet shop, that she's leaving, it's always the best employees who leave. I hope the quality doesn't go down either. It's good that you have such a good pet shop close by.
So Eric and Tara may become roommates as it would be cheaper than for him to live with me. At least that's the thinking and I think they're right. If they can pull this off (not right away, he's still thinking about it all) but after thinking about it, it might be worth it for him. It's a longer drive, but he loves to drive, and gas is cheaper over there. I would keep the mattress so if he was this way and wanted to stay, or came over on weekends with the kids, maybe for Sat night. It's all in the air, but he's right. I paid for it but it cost alot for him to keep food in two households. And then for the kids on the weekends and her and the kids during the week. I'm not sure how this is all going to go. I told him it sounds as if it might be better but I have to be allowed to see my grands and he agreed.
When they're a bit older, they can stay here with me for the weekend. I can pick them up, have the car seats and have them for the weekend. Eric says he and Tara won't ever be involved again, but might be able to be roommates for the sake of the kids. It's going to be difficult if he meets someone, but his heart is in the right place. He needs to make a good home for his kids and living with them would be good for them right now. He's finding that he's getting along better with Tara and isn't getting the anger he had before. He'll have alot to think about in the next month. I don't see him staying here for much longer, which for me, if we can get this organized with the kids and I'm not shut out, it will maybe be better. We'll see.
My dad is in the hospital, think it's a blocked heart artery, so he's there until Monday when he's transferred to a heart hospital for testing to see if something is blocked and to fix it then he's back in the hospital close to home so my mom can be with him (my dad is 89 and has Parkinson's disease so he can't use the end of his fingers and his hands shake, so my mom has to help him open the food packages at the hospital.) Anyway, that was a mouthful! I spend a little bit of time with them on Thursday, then spent 2 hours this am with them at the hospital. My sister was away house sitting, so she's coming back to town tomorrow, so I'll talk to her then. Both of my brothers have been, David (youngest) on Thursday afternoon and Richard, who lives close by, comes in often after work. Today he got Mom's car keys and filled the tank for her. He likes to do stuff for my mom especially. That's Richard, the next one up, then Gail, my sister, then me, the oldest of the 4 kids. And the smallest and the one with the most things wrong with her. :dontknow:
Anyway, my dragons had more attention in the last 3 days than in the last month! Gabriel got out and got around, with Bella watching guard. Bella goes back with Eric, too, if he's leaving, that's who I'll miss most, she's such a sweet dog, I'm glad she's my grandpuppy
I love to hear about Shiro and what she does during the day, same as I loved to hear about Princess Tengu. Her spirit is always with you, just as the spirits of all my dragons are always with me. It gives me comfort to think of them and to know I did the best I could with each of them. Princess will always fill your heart and it's wonderful that you can remember all these wonderful things about her.
