I really think your sales team are marvelous.

agreed! even took a couple of us go karting as well before , though out of 8 dealerships one one really looks after us... so they get priority

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

They originated in North America- but don't hold that against us, Adam!
That was looooooong before my time!

They were probably much nicer animals in those days, before they got the hump.
They began in the grasslands of America 40 to 50 Million years ago, evolved over time and spread much more recently (only 3 to 5 million years ago) into South America where today they are represented by the llama, alpaca, guanaco and vicuna.
In the north they passed into Canada, where the hump is thought to have evolved as a protection against the cold (!) and the across the Bering Land Bridge in to Asia before migrating also into Africa.
The North American camels seem to have been entirely annihilated by the spread of the Native Americans and died out 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

 

[johnandjade]

a fork in the road!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

animals or cigarettes??

Both !

 

[Angel Carrion]

oh dear , sounds like you're having a bit of a tough time . i can be hard to find a job, don't take it personally just keep on at it and you WILL get hired it must be difficult at the moment but i'm sure the animals are very grateful and im sure are in best of hands

Thanks. I'm hoping someone will hire me soon. Still haven't figured out how I'm going to pay my car bills this week (insurance is due on the 7th and car payment on the 18th) but hopefully something will happen between there and now.
My animals never even notice money is short, haha. They still get top notch toys and food ingredients, just maybe not a new toy/addition to the enclosure until a current toy/addition becomes unusable anymore (my dogs tend to chew apart their supposed 'indestructible' balls quickly). One thing I've gotten good at is hitting the sales and accumulating 'bonus rewards' for when I need them the most.

law of averages, just keep on putting yourself out there and it WILL happen

O golly gosh, what a nightmare, Angel.
i'm so sorry and really hope things pick up for you and all your animals get well soon.
It's so sad when people who love and care for animals struggle so much.
Thanks for taking the time to post your story and i sincerely hope you find employment shortly.

Splinter seems to be doing better and is to the point where he no longer needs medical attention (yaaaay!) but sadly Tucker (whom I have renamed Venus De Milo, hehe, waiting to see if people get the reference) will most likely have to see a specialist for her shell because a hole is starting to form in her plastron from the inside (if you look by her back legs at the underside, you can see where the shell is kind of eroding or something and it's now formed a very small hole straight through) because my vet doesn't have to necessary tools to repair it. Sadly the ointment he gave me hasn't stopped this erosion from happening, though it has stopped and is now healing the infection in the connecting tissue between the plastron scutes. So at least there is that.
Christopher (the cat) and Miwa (the rat) are both okay, and are simple fixes, they will just need close attention for now.

i get the reference , but at least you still have your humour, I find it to be an asset that one should never loose or its game over. i hate the fact money makes the world go round, we have a kind of 'animal hospital' in Glasgow that will provide free care to people on welfare, all they ask is a donation. it's a shame there isn't more as an invaluable resource to people (and pets) and is also experience for vets... they gain also, win win situation for all

Oh my goodness a free care animal hospital with knowledgeable staff and vets would be a god-send here. I'd rather pay the bill because I feel horrible getting a service without giving something in return, but if I could do it as a "pay what you can when you can" thing, that'd be awesome! Sadly we don't have that.
I'm hoping the specialist Venus will most likely need will be willing to do this pro-bono or as a research opportunity or something similar. I honestly can't afford what I know will be needed to do.

Evening/afternoon all!
Just popped in - popping out again for dandy picking time!
There seems to be a much better quality of dandy around at the moment, so lucky Lola!
See you later.

Ha de ha.
hey, Lyn.
Survived the first day back, before you know it, it'll be half term.
