I don't usually get sick because I'm a hermit. I don't come into contact with anyone...and the Walmart grocery store I shop at has a self checkout. Of course, now that I've jinxed myself, I'll probably catch it. Jacqui...toss me that extra mask!

Sorry Yvonne, all I have left is the skunk mask, but here ya go.

*tosses it over to Yvonne*

Speaking of skunks, has Ava made any new friends lately?

Nope. Last night she shot out in the darkness, barking her fool head off, and Karen turns to me and says, “she's probably found a porcupine friend to play with." Fortunately not. But you can never tell with her.

***EW-W! tosses it back to Jacqui***

No thanks, I'll rough it.

I don't ever let Misty out after dark. We have skunks that wander around here in the evening and I'm not fond of trying to bathe an 80lb monster that doesn't mind.

I know there is a porky near us (okay about 30 miles), but I have not yet gotten to see it. Only know it's there because it nailed two dogs for over 100 quills.

Yvonne, time before last for Ava and her black and white friend, I let Ava out as I closed the house up for bed. 12:30 or so. She comes running around the house, snorting and bucking reeking of skunk. I was ready for bed. Needless to say, she spent the night in the barn. We have the skunk shampoo recipe on the fridge we got tired of looking for it. As for porcupines, we've got enough cattle ranches around us that I haven't seen any. I guess it boils down to calves thinking they are clumps of grass and ending up with mouthfuls of quills.

Boo, I'm sorry everyone else is sick too! I've got a check up tomorrow for my rat bite fever. Hoorayyyy.... :p
I'm getting really mad at Littlefoot's enclosure. We got a glazed dish for water, changed out substrate, and it's still getting wet...I think now it's condensation dripping down the glass and onto the coir. I wipe down the insides about 4 times a day now. Gotta figure something else out. :/

Never would have thought about the calves.

Now THAT might be a good night time snack that won't break my diet. I've been real good for the past couple months trying to lose about 10lbs. I'm only eating lunch...a nice cooked meal. No snacks. Then at night I'll have a cup of hot chocolate. That's all. I've been chewing gum like crazy whenever I get a craving for something sweet. I think an apple dipped into some caramel sauce might be better than the hot chocolate.

I weigh in the morning before I get dressed, and I haven't weighed in several days. Last week I had lost 4lbs. I'll weigh tomorrow morning.
