Introducing my common garden snail pets aka Helix Aspersa. I’m thrilled to death to have these snails and have set up a temporary home for them. Their new home should be here next week. These adult snails are larger than a quarter and can live up to 5 years, however, one snail seems weak and […]
Most of the time people assume the change of color in a Betta is negative, but in this case it’s a marbling gene that causes the fish to change colors. November 8th when I purchased Isaiah, he was primarily white. I posted a photo of him back then showing at much. Nov 8th Here is […]
Lentil is just a few months old but he’s pretty aggressive when it comes to hunting. Today’s photos were taken just as crickets were added to the terrarium home. I’m able to tell the difference between the frogs by their markings. Lentil is the only frog so far with a spot on both arms in […]
I’ve been tickled all day that a new leaf on my single leaf Pathos is growing. 🙂 This plant is special because its the only Pathos that made it from the old apartment. The other plants are gone except a friend saved a tiny, itty bitty little plant. Having it feels like a little piece […]
Dr. D and I discussed the recent firing of my new CNA. I fired her for several reasons and fired the company, too. My insurance covers a CNA that can take me to the store and to doctor appointments. It turns out this CNA was driving me around w/o a drivers license or insurance. I […]
(sigh) I saw The Surgeon for the last time yesterday afternoon. I didn’t expect him to hug me but I’m glad he did. I gave him his painting and as expected, I cried at the end. As a matter of fact I got in the car, went to the store, purchased 4 pints of ice […]
Awwww, baby froggies. It’s going to be fun watching these little guys grow up. There are actually 4 babies now. I adopted a little guy who was on his own and not being cared for. These are Australian Tree frogs with a life expectancy of about 15 years. They’ll get between 4.5 and 5.5 inches. […]
This is Lentil, my Australian Tree Frog. This morning I woke to find three beautiful mushrooms in Lentil’s terrarium. The mushrooms grew out of a patch of orange moss that grows along side driftwood stationed close to the watering hole. Although these frogs will tolerate being held, it’s not suggested you do so. I hardly […]
Clyde is needy, so am I. He too jumps at the slightest noise. Even though he’s anxious, he’s protective of me. He knows what it means when alarms go off 4 times a day. Two of those times he’s going to eat, which he loves to do. He’s such a good boy, gentle yet playful and […]
There’s something about having another living thing making noise that helps me feel less alone. Skip to 20 seconds for the start. His big performance is at 55 seconds. This is what Clyde does while doing his service dog duties of laying on my legs to help with the pain. He falls asleep and snores. […]
