Like the subject line? It's about my baby Froy. He's a gerbil. His brother is Scout. They rock. But unfortunately I've decided they must go back to Petco. It's a very hard decision to make because they are the cutest and I could watch them for hours and feed them treats until they are too full. But the thing is, they've been locked in my bedroom ( Read more... )

Because I'm obsessed with Craigs List and obsessed with finding a pet that Buddy can get along with that my mom would approve of and that is a very human social creature.

During this quest I found a family giving away one of their ferrets away for free. It has a few behavior problems that I think with time could be resolved. Like he plays too rough ( Read more... )

I'd just like you all to know that Buddy is NOT crazy.

Off and on Buddy has been sitting, staring into a certain corner of the room. At first we wondered if there was a bug over there but we couldn't find one. Then we thought maybe he was doing it to be close to the radiator because we have steam heat and maybe it was making his stuffy nose feel ( Read more... )

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Buddy is doing sooooooo much better!

At noon time I gave Buddy a steam. He was very good about it. He sat in my lap the whole time and never once cried. When we were done, I put down some hard food for him while I got his wet food ready. He actually ate some hard food, which was very exciting. Then as I was mashing up his wet food ( Read more... )

So Buddy isn't really eating or drinking. The only time we can get him to do any of it is after doing a 15 minute steam treatment in the bathroom. Also the vet told us we should probably get Buddy a vaporizer. Things are so weird. I'm just scared that his upper respitory thing has turned into pneumona or something. That maybe he'll have the same ( Read more... )

Buddy just took a steam with me.

I hang my bathrobe on the over-the-door towel rack when I shower. Buddy hid behind my bathrobe the whole time with just his head sticking out, even though I had brought his blankie in with us. He behaved very well. He only started crying five seconds before I was to get out.

Once I let him out of the bathroom, he kept ( Read more... )

Last night I finished the baby blanket for my cousin Dorene's baby shower. It came out really good. But it has now disappeared because my mom wanted to wash it. But it's awesome and I'm glad it's done.

Buddy was doing soooooo much better but now he's doing worse. You can actually hear the snot in his nose when he breathes. And if you put your ear to ( Read more... )

So Buddy has been taking his medicine twice a day since, I think, Wednesday. He's actually very good at taking it. He likes his antibiotics. I think he likes the taste. It smells good at least. But he doesn't really like his eye ointment aka his eye goop. Although his eyes aren't bright red anymore. I think he's doing much better. He's a little ( Read more... )

Poor Buddy. He went to the vet's at 4 o'clock and came back home with a diagnosis of pink eye, an upper respitory infection, gingivitis with a loose tooth and overly waxy ears. He has to have liquid antibiotics twice a day and eye ointment twice a day. Hopefully, if it's not viral, his eyes and sniffles will be gone in seven days.

Pray for him.
