Pollen and Thunder

Well - at least 30% of the zoo are not all that happy today - Emma is way under the bed - in the middle where no one has the chance of getting to her as it thunders outside.  Phoebe is nursing her little bit of a swollen lip - she gets this occasionally when her allergies start up.  Lord knows allergies are in full swing right now - pollen from the pine trees has dropped and Phoebe and her human mommy are sneezing.  Oliver is a pollen sufferer as well - not quite as severe as Phoebe but still sneezy.

The rest of the critters are uneffected with the exception of the ferrets who on cloudy days hardly stir.  Maddie and the babies are sleeping in the hubs closet and Clooney came downstairs long enough to get a stick - he is back in his chair snoozing away.  Nigel is sacked out in his cage - he is recovering from getting his back nails cut last night - he hates that.

Thankfully the rain came and washed some of the pollen away - perhaps the sneezing will subside a bit.
