Furry Babies

At the beginning of December the husband and I were busy scouting worthy dog breeders. We were scrutinizing blood lines, price, breed, and color of potential breeding dogs. I had begun construction designs on whelping boxes and pricing the whole operation out. It was exciting.

Then we happily discovered I was pregnant about mid January. That is an entirely different type of exciting.
Initially I was a bit disappointed I wouldn't be getting my big dogs or puppies. It felt like I was taking great leaps and bounds in one area of my life but stalling out in my professional dreams.

That thought has since been remedied. Just before we discovered the good news we bought an breeding colony of 5 sugar gliders. Beautiful gliders, all old enough to breed. Two of them even have rare genetics. Gorgeous lue het brother and sister... if paired properly could produce all white babies. On there Own they are gorgeous and worth more than what we paid for the whole lot. I believe one of my cinnamon gliders is pregnant.

 Why would I have to put my dreams of breeding on hold? I'll just scale 'em down a bit. I love spending time with my gliders, who are currently crabbing at me for moving too much. I will probably separate them for a while once we have the baby. I dont want to lose a joey because I am distracted by a much more important facet to my life.

   I'm not on hiatus.... just smaller scale. Mommy style and wonderfully happy about it.

Sugar Mama...

First of all Id like to explain my last post.... I have had a fever for the last few days and my brain was on fire. It was a jumbled bit of nonsense that helped some crazy escape from my brain.

Next order of business....
I am officially a sugar mama, in the pet sense. I have a breeding colony of gliders!

I was originally supposed to get two gliders but that fell through. Everything happens for a reason. An add popped up about an hour after my gliders fell through for a cinnamon and lue het colony. Which tend to be my favorite gliders. 3 little girls and 2 little boys all between 6-8months.

Bonding should take some time. I have one crabby man, we have already named him Deimos. Deimos being greek for terror we found it quite fitting.

I will take pictures soon as I can! I didnt wanna freak them out even more so than I already have.

Ive been awake nearly all night, mostly because I cant breathe.My throat is on fire. I got this wonderful gift  of sickness from my cousin and brother. Merry Christmas. But still it has enabled me to sit and watch my little monkeys jump around happily in their cages, which is an acceptable  compromise.
I need four more names....
We have comprised a mental list of names that probably wont have anything to do with the naming process.

Rocko, spunky, Lobo, Momo, Appa, Chi, Aros, Captain stinky pants,  Atlas, Bali, echo, Tali, and a bunch more....
