Wow...it sure has been a while since I've been here, hasn't it?
Well, I'm back per Niki's request, so that I can stalk her journal and see what the hizzy is up with her. And I have a nice little update for all of you.
If none of you knew, my rat, Marcus Allenwood, died back in October, shortly before my weekend trip to Chicago with Toni and Niki. He had just gotten his two year checkup and was given a clean bill of health, but two weeks later came down with a nasty respiratory infection that he just never quite recovered from. I only about a month and a half ago got two new rats: a blue-hooded named Wilson and a black rat with white undertones named House. Take a wild stab as to who they're named after.
Today, I acquired a new pet: an albino hedgehog (that I'm beginning to actually think is an apricot or a pale apricot) that was relinquished to our store. Her name is The Demon Pinks (though she's actually being very nice right now, so I've dropped the 'demon' part and I just call her Pinks or Miss Pinks). She's named after a beanie bear that my roommate had because the skin beneath her fur and quills is pink and shows up really well. I picked her up with no gloves on earlier, and though she had herself a nice little hissy fit beforehand, it's obvious that her last owners were pretty good to her and she doesn't mind actually being handled. She started eating right after I put her in the cage (Royal Canin Light 32 cat food...mmmm), so I'm not worried about her adjusting at all.
I still work at PETCO, though I've been putting in my bids at other places in the meantime. It's not that I don't really like PETCO anymore. It's just that...it's old now. The same bullshit is getting shuffled around again, and I'm bored with it. I feel kind of bad. I've been cutting corners lately and it's been showing. I'm really going to try to step it up. I don't know when I'll be getting a call back, or if I even will from anyplace else, but there's no point in leaving PETCO on a sour note. After all, I'd be a damn lie to say that I haven't had some good times there, that it hasn't changed me at least a little bit.
Nothing new in the love life, as usual, though I will say and say only that something may be on the horizon. :D. That's the beginning, middle and end of that for now.
I'm doing good, though. Going to work, hanging out with my friends, doing my thing. I love my animals...even taught my rats a couple of tricks. House is as dumb as a box of rocks and scared of everything but he loves his wheel. Wilson is the prodigy who learned "come here" in twenty minutes. That's about all with me. Still boringness, but it works:) How about y'all?
