September - ACK

Its September 1st, its Sunday, its a 3 day weekend - all good things - we maybe not the September part - time really does fly.

Critters are all good - as I type Aggie is laying next to me.  Phoebe is playing with Emma, Finn and Theo are racing around like maniacs, Violet, Maddie and Clooney are snoozing, Nigel is munching food in his cage and Zoey and Ollie are sleeping in a patch of sun downstairs.

There have been workouts, lawn mowing and chores this morning - we will likely hit the grocery and do some prep work in the kitchen for a cookout tomorrow.  Critters love prep work because it means the potential of a people food treat.

September will likely hold some solid screen door time for the critters as the temps start to fall and maybe even some outside time on the porch.  We will continue to work with Theo on his exuberant biting...he is getting better but still a ways to go.  I need to get Zoey back into the vet this month to get a thyroid level check - oh how I dread it - she is so uncooperative and just plain unpleasant.  I am hoping to reconfigure Nigel's room and put in a play area for him so he can be out of his cage more and have a place that is specifically designed for  a hedgie.  I will have multiple updates on that as it develops.

All in all - its a pretty relaxing day with lots of furry time....hope you are enjoying your weekend as well...
