For Tess next door (the lighter dog, on the right), this is her first winter. As Doug said, dogs tend to approach new things with joy and excitement. That’s certainly true for these two.
Another critter day at work, and they brought a ferret. I like ferrets: they are very cute and funny. But I wouldn’t want one in my house–they don’t smell so good and pretty much destroy anything they get their little hands on. It’s kind of how I feel about kids.
this is my coworker Hellen, holding the blue-tongued skink at work. She was trying to get him to stick out his tongue, but he wasn’t being very accommodating.
Today was a “3 R’s” Fair at work. One of the activities was taking old T-shirts and tearing them up to make a rag rug. I managed to convince Doug that some of his older and rattier T’s should go to the cause. The bright yellow scrap in the middle here is from one.
the rats that I buy for the snake at work come under the label “Gourmet Rodent.” Which is funny enough. But the little logo that depicts the rat and snake as good buddies is just fantastic.
