Small Animal Certification

Well as you may or may not know I'm working on getting my small animal certification. I'm hoping to get your help to improve my knowledge of small animals. That being said I'm starting Small Animal Saturdays. E-mail me your small animal questions to:

april9876@gmail.com

Every Saturday I'll post the questions and the answers. This will give me access to questions a customer might ask me and give me the chance to do some research while answering your questions on pets you have or are considering adding to your family.

Thanks for your help!

I had a bad night!

I woke up last night to find Fitz,my elderly cat, snuggled up in my arm. He hasn't done this in a very long while. He prefers sleeping in a box next to the computer. Now you may not think this is scary but I thought for sure that he had crawled into my arms and passed away! He wasn't moving and I couldn't feel him breathing. I was so relieved when he finally moved that I cried!

Happy Halloween

I thought this shot of the Rose Haired Tarantula was particularly fitting for this creepy holiday!

Happy Halloween

Doggy Halloween Contest

We had a doggy Halloween contest in the store on Saturday. There were some very cute dogs there. Including Dorthy and the Yin Man a cowgirl and a hot dog. The winners gave me permission to post their pictures so here they are. Three Birthday clowns complete with cake.

Sad News

Poor Rosco died yesterday.

Our little frog that too so long to become a frog passed away. We don't know why. I found him floating belly up when I went to clean the tank and after making sure he wasn't playing dead I told the kids. Its funny that even a non-cuddle pet such as a frog can make you cry when they leave us but it does and we did. Here are all of Roscos photos to remember him by

Sorry there aren't any better pictures. It's funny how you go around thinking you have all the time in the world so you can get a better shot later and then it's too late.

Girl Scouts Rain Forest Project

Here is a little project I did for a friend of mine. She is a girl scout troop leader and her troop is setting up a display in the local mall. She asked me to build a home for some fire belly toads for their display and this is the outcome.
