The Tephrocactus finally bloomed today!

The Tephrocactus finally bloomed today! I'm so excited!



A few others bloomed, too, but they don't keep me waiting like that one did.




Also, my Monkey Tail has a tiny bud. I had to say it, but with the shape of the plant and the tiny bud, it looks like a genital wart. 😂 It'll be pretty once it blooms, though.

"Excuse me, do you have any rats?"

"Excuse me, do you have any rats?"


I haven't posted this kiddo in a while. But she's such a doll.

Did you catch that? She.

Last year, we messed up and fed her on a puppy pad, and she ate part of it. We read that sometimes if handled after a meal, they will regurgitate. We handled her right after eating. We moved her around. We tried a bit to stress her out. She was SO passive. She was SO good. She was holding down her rat pad tortilla, and that was that.

We ended up taking her to the vet, and she was great there, too. They said it looked like she would pass the puppy pad, and she did. Thank goodness. But while at the vet, we found out that our sweet boy, Houdini, was actually a girl.

So now we call her Habibi, which means "beloved."

This is the sweetest kid and we love her to pieces. 😊

She's currently eating in her feeding tote, where she's always eaten except for that once. We learned our lesson. No more rat stinky puppy pads, because she doesn't discriminate when she's hungry. 😂



This Harley cat has been petting himself on me...

This Harley cat has been petting himself on me for the last 10 minutes. He finally settled down thank goodness. 😂

I'm exhausted, but...

I'm exhausted, but I haven't held her in a few days and she INSISTED on lap time tonight. I was trying to make my resume beautiful and she wouldn't stay off my laptop. So I guess she won. It's snuggle time. 😂


Shaun put electricity in the greenhouse today.

Shaun put electricity in the greenhouse today. No more extension cord running from the sunroom!

Here are a few blooms from today. They make me feel so happy! 😊



We ran some errands today and took the boys with us.

We ran some errands today and took the boys with us. Why are they so cute!? 😊😭

Bear tired out so fast, as usual. He always crashes out in the car. 😂

I'm in bed...

I'm in bed under my weighted blanket, being cuddled by Adrian and Scar.

For the first time in I don't know how long, I feel at peace.

❤️
