Manic Monday

Wowie - today was a painful busy day!!  We did a full clean out of SteveIrwin's tank and put in his third tank ornament that is a bright orange tower with lots of holes to swim through.  He seems to like it and has been in and out of there over the course of the day.

This afternoon we had an installer come and put in new storm doors.  Critters had to be on lockdown which they completely hate.  Since they have been turned loose they are finding the new back storm door and they are fascinated.

Emma got her 5 miles walk this morning and has been pretty well behaved.  Phoebe has been a bit pukey for the last couple of days - she may need to head to the vet for a check to see if she needs a thyroid med adjustment or if she has something else going on like a kidney issue.  I will be keeping a close eye on her for sure.  Everyone else is cruising along.

I have had a few glimpses of my baby birds and their parents today - everyone seems good.  Haven't seen the parents back at the nest - guessing they are busy with four now flying babies.

Tonight I have cat box scooping in my future - oh joy!!!  :)

Hopefully Tuesday is less of a whirlwind...
