November Month in Review

Wowser - the human inhabitants have had a jammed packed November.  Where did it go exactly?  Not sure but I can't believe tomorrow is December already.

As for the critters - this month was pretty good.  The flea episode seems to be over with no casualties except maybe a flea or two.  Here are the tips I have learned - buy a dog flea collar and cut it in pieces and put it in your vacuum and when you clean if they get sucked up in there the collar will kill them.  I also ordered an organic flea powder for the carpets - I did a light coat everywhere and a heavy coat under the bed where Emma sleeps and under the bonus room couch where Madison sleeps.

Zoey got poked in the eye or something like that - it made her eye squinty for a few days.  She is perfectly fine now.  Aggie had a very bad tummy day - she is perfectly fine now and Nigel went for his check up and he is perfect too....

The critters have been having all kinds of Christmas fun - playing in the packages, helping me wrap, chasing ornaments, etc.  Only 1 tree down so far this year - they have all been secured now so no more tipping potential.  Their stocking are filled with toys and treats....and I have added a few new critter ornaments.

Today - everyone is snoozy.  Nigel and Oliver are sharing a blanket in front of the fire.  Zoey is on the kitchen table.  Phoebe is on the couch, Aggie on the back of the couch.  Clooney and Madison snoozing upstairs...Emma is guarding the house from the evil UPS man...ugh - the barking makes me nuts.

All in all - its been a good month for the babies and the zookeepers - on to December.....
