May Month in Review

May has been a whirlwind - I haven't done a great job of blogging this month...not sure why.  I am usually quite diligent about posting every day but this month I only managed to get in 22 posts.

The month started off with a sickly SteveIrwin.  So happy that little fish is still alive and kicking - he is quite the character.

We traveled to NYC and left the critters with the pet sitter - all went well.  My business travel this month was postponed - so thankful for that.  Healthwise everyone seems to be doing well - no issues to report.  Emma has been walking with us each day - we do about 35 miles a week.

Outside we are enjoying the plethora of birds, squirrels and bunnies.  My baby house finches are all grown up - as of this morning 2 had flown and there were two left in the nest.  Sad to see them go - but hopefully there will be another round of eggs and babies.  One year we had finches that had four families of babies in one summer.  I have my fingers crossed.

Violet, Finn, Clooney, Aggie, Zoey, Emma and Oliver all have renewal dates in June for their pet insurance - that means the clock is reset and they have allowances again for thyroid meds, etc.  The ferrets are scheduled for their regular check ups on 7/1 and the others will be getting scheduled soon... ah the joys of vetting 10 critters.

Hopefully June will be a better blogging month....
