Man, feels like its been forever since I've posted anything of substanence on this forum! Life has been nuts!!

Sooo...whats been going on with the animals.....

This gal nailed me right on the freakin face a couple weeks back. I thought something on her had looked funny, so I was trying to get a better look. Funny thing is, right before she nailed me I was thinking "This is not a good idea" Didn't hurt, but trying to get a flailing blood settled while you've got blood running down your face and in your eye is pretty interesting

The proud girl. lol





Craziest thing....I was giving this girl a soak, as she didn't have a very good shed. I started rubbing her chin and umm...wtf? She would just sit there with her head in the air. Crazy thing is, after I quit, she would sit there in that position for a good five minutes. No attempts to strike or anything....and this gal is most defintely NOT an animal that I would go around petting on the head. See previous paragraph







Big Red is doing great. We decided to give the ol' bath a try tonight. I've never soaked him before so I was a bit curious how it would go over. No fuss, but a definite 'this is sooo not cool' look from him!





Delilah is growing like a weed and sweet as ever....





Decided to name this one Rockstar He's doing wonderful





Here's an oddball blood I picked up. I was a bit unsure about this one, as he/she was labeled as a borneo, and priced pretty darn low for the markings he/she has. Sure enough, it arrived really cold, and is by far the smallest blood I've ever had. I was honestly a bit ticked about how small this dude is. Don't even know if its fed before...pretty sure it hasn't shed yet either, just by its size. Fed for me though, so i'm keepin my fingers crossed. Seems to be doing ok. Sorry for the crappy photos, but all I could get in a moment...







Hope everything is going smoothly for all of you. To those of you attending classes....good luck on the upcoming finals!! I'd like to say I'll be posting more, but i don't know....with classes, clubs, and me just starting my second job I just don't know...oh well, guess thats just how it goes!



A big hug to all my blood buddies!!



Carole
