A Very "Special" baby boy collared has arrived, his name is Rolly. His sibblings arrived last week, and we waited patiently for him to hatch. We wondered what was taking him so long.
Then finally 10/21 he arrived. He's quite beautiful, and would make the Grinch's heart melt.

He has a bit of a deformity to his cute lil face. He never developed an eye on one side,and his tiny nose is sort of twisted to that side, which leaves his mouth alittle off center. So far Rolly eats well with gusto, and basks with his sibblings. At night he finds his way to his cave/bed and curls up with the other kids.

He also has a curly kind of piggy tail, which leaves him a little off balance, especially with just one eye. So occasionally he tilts over, and then bounces up on his own.( The name just fit, Rolly)

I think as he gains strength, and learns to deal with the vision , or lack of, he should get more sure -footed. I'm hoping he will thrive, and live a long, healthy, happy life here with us. He will always have alot of collared friends to keep him company.

I will keep ya updated on his progress.
