Days 17 and 18

It's another one (or two) of those days where I have to post two days worth of stuff.

Day 17: Well, first off, another pic of my cat, doing what cats do best: sitting on something I want in to. Cats are great at finding exactly what you want to be using/reading at any given time and sitting directly on it. :/ In this case, a bag of egg shaped peanut butter M&M's!

 

Day 18: I came home from work today, went to my patio to water my plants, and saw this!  

 

My thyme is blooming! So exciting!

Day 16

I have the cutest little kitty. Viktor is the bestest, when he's not being really annoying or costing me a lot of money!! He makes up for a lot of that annoying by being adorable. Please observe exhibit A:

Day 15

I went to see This Means War today with a friend from PetCo. Pretty good movie, attractive men, always a good time. When I pulled into my parking space, I saw the following on the base of a street lamp. I don't think any additional exploitation is needed.

Day 14

I work four days a week at the zoo, and three of those four days I work with my manager, She is the one who collects Charlie the owl for me, and then hands him off to me to man him. Manning is where you just hold a bird on the glove, essentially getting them used to it (in Charlie's case) or just socializing with them so they don't always associate being on the glove with being in front of a bunch of annoying people! On days where my manager isn't there, or we don't get enough time to actually have Charlie out of his mew, I go in and sit with him to socialize him. Generally I sit on the log in his mew and putz around on my phone. I don't actually want to draw a lot of his attention to me, just get him used to sitting calmly with a person in his space.

It's really cute; he'll get all annoyed and fluff up and hiss or beak clack when I first walk in and he doesn't know what I'm going to do, but then when I sit down he calms down pretty quick and his little ear tufts go up. Sometimes he looks at me, but mostly he just does his owl thing and looks out one of the windows. He's the handsomest owl in town!

Day 13

You ever notice how a hedgehog with it's face in a food bowl is even cuter that a hedgehog just plain being cute!

Day 12

When you're a bunny, a pine cone with peanut butter is the best thing ever!

Days 10 and 11

Yes, yes, I know, I did it again. Two days in one. I'm busy, so sue me!

Day 10:
At PetCo, associates are allowed to bring their pets in once in a while, if necessary. Well, the dog trainer brings hers in every time she's here. Granted, they are good for demonstrating in class, but still. She takes over the tiny break room with her stuff and their stuff. But they are pretty cute.

Day 11:
We have 5 hedgehogs and 4 tenrecs at the zoo, and today was bath day!  This is too big of an undertaking for one person to complete in addition to all normal duties, so Ryan and Edie came down to APC and did baths while I continued my regular cleaning and stuff.
