Looking back at July - it was a busy critter month. We had lots of birthdays - Winston, Tabby and Kai. We did vet visits for the kitties - they are all in pretty good shape overall - happy with the results. We hired a trainer for the puppies and our first session is Saturday. We celebrated 4th of July - all the critters made it through with minimal stress. And, we did Violet's glucose test at home for the first time. It was a bit awkward but the results were great.
The zoo is doing pretty darn great. As I type this - Winston is outside napping in his barn. The puppies are snoozing outside as well and Emma is sacked out on our bed. The littles are in critterland - I was down there a bit ago and everyone was napping. The little ferret sleeping bags are a great hit - used all the time.
August should be less critter intensive - we will focus primarily on the training routine that the trainer develops for us with the pups this month. Mid month we will test Violet again just to make sure her numbers are holding. We may start to develop baselines for the ferrets as well - testing all of them to see where their numbers are. It's a bit of a pain because they have to fast for three hours prior to testing. I may pull Madison out with Violet next time and start with oldest first....
The last few days have been nice - the weather hasn't been so awful - its been a hot and muggy summer around here. Pig and dogs are enjoying the ability to hang outside all day. I even opened the outside playspace for the little critters yesterday - they had fun exploring and laying in the sun.
