Sorry work been crazy between everything. We all still around. spent more time working and trying to keep up than enjoying selves. I still spoiling and caring for the kids. trying to keep up with all the demands on us and the joys of health issues lol,I managed not to increase the number of masters for a long term lol. We watch a friend glider for a few months and she happy to have them back. Then we had a friend visit with her 7 gliders for a weekend since the annual MEG was cancel due to the (reptile show center still being used as a makeshift hospital for covid,) We went to a different show and purchased supplies lol. Now we got the fun part of the year to try and do all the normal weekly stuff and start prepping for spring and summer.( plus start to stock up for the supplies needed for the SGGA this year so Suburban sugar can do vending. ( working on camera set up encase we want to do the video spacing like last year. )

I'm glad all 10 of you are still around!

I must have missed this post. Hope all is well and fuzzbutz are doing well!

Don't feel bad we so crazy it taken me 2 months not to update lol we actually up to 11 gliders. One of wife friends was reducing her glider numbers due to possible moving and asked if we take one more of her( Bowie and Beemers came from her ) and Now we have Misha as well. First few weeks he slimmed down but now he picking his weight back up.. On top of it we starting to watch Freya and Leeloo as both girls are fine as far as we can tell but their weight is going up and down about the same time ( both glider are smaller and lighter maxed out I think maybe 95 grams each at one point.. ( when I gave like daily treats 3 times a a day and still eating,. Both being in the 7+ year range we watching and considering a wellness check on them both could be a possible dental issue brewing.. I think that it mostly the cage change and not having total covering on the sides now so they can smell and see Momo and the others and wanting to guard their cage.. I need to find a day to make a new cover for the side.

Well as of tonight, I don't have any empty cages.

we dont either we replaced the old ( about 5 years old ) prevue hendryx cages we loved with some double critter nations. one that were taller ( since we had spare double to turn them into triple tall on one ) and the remaining parts need some tlc to clear off rust this summer if I can get the time) or set up as a ER cage if we need it)..

so in the 2 months since we have posted it been a crazy time. Freya had to have a tooth removed ( we have been bad slaves). had it removed 2 weeks ago but she barely putting weight back on and she really refused to take meds. ( little [censored] let you squirt it in her mouth then just shake her head getting it on everything.) I done the whip cream, treats and her fave fish snacks but she just don't want it . she gotten so light and frail feeling i afraid to restrain her to give med as i feel i could break bones.. today I am going to try and make a special crack for her to try.

I been stuck to the health check in table for a while now( about 1 year or so) ( basically ask the questions enter the yes or no answers and check temp) then send on to work( which will be ending soon I got a feeling when I go to work on Wednesday it be gone) I was doing this cause it boring and a lot of people don't like doing it. once seen it didn't bother me they basically left me it . .. Sadly that has created my other issue ( sitting at the table for 7 hours shift and not doing much ) allowed my legs and back to stiffen up even more than normal.( and yesterday tossed on a register for 2+hours I could not move well or walk afterwards. So I may now be in jeopardy of loosing my job. ( went to lunch and hurt so much I was in tears and could not walk hardly ( I dragged my feet they never left floor) and after lunch tried to cover 2 different 15 minutes breaks it was a nightmare. end up spending last hour of my shift in HR doing the e training then get help out of the chair to leave. ) I got to work on getting around better since i don't have meds for pain ,( II tried everything legal and then some wit no real luck.. otc stuff I taking 5 or more at a time to get any minor relief that it not worth it . doc want to try pt therapy but I lack the time in the day to do it. ( I am up and gone by 6a and home by 8p so it feed glider find dinner then bed repeat and on days off ( today ) I got yard, house, and animal chores I not been able to sneak in to do at night. let alone relax any. ( i actually doing laundry as i type )

Sadly it seems that Freya didn't heal up front dental issue or had some other health issues, I held her [censored] she passed away in my hands last night about 1130 pm.. Sh actually was down to 60 grams. I know she been eating ( I have put her next to the bowl every night and giving her kisses) watching her eat for a bit before i went to bed. I afraid she must of had another issue we missed. I founder her lethargic in the pouch at 9pm when I brought food in and I think she was only barely aware then. I spent the rest of my evening in a chair loving her and crying until I felt her heart stop. I have been either crying or wanting to punch something ever since ( not be a safe day for me to go to work ) so I imagine that I get let go when I go in tuesday for points. it has not been a good week for me . between back pain and forced to leave early and today missing out ( cause I know I end up attempting to deck anyone that gave me a issue ) safest place is home doing something I think.

I been thinking that it possible Freya and her chewing holes in stuff may of had a small blockage that a was missed during the vet exam as she put a hole in the colony pouch in 3 weeks.

I'm so sorry to hear about Freda .

They are really good about hiding sickness. I'm not sure what else she could have had going on, but I feel your pain. It's so hard to let them go.



Time doesn't heal the pain of the loss, but it will help you cope with it better.

It's been over a year since we lost our first glider Fiona, and I still kick myself ( at least it's not hourly or daily anymore) for not catching it sooner. But then again, it may have been time for her to go...

Glide free Freda, you've earned your wings.

I hope you start feeling better yourself soon. It no fun being in physical pain.

I'll keep you in my thoughts prayers and

Terry,

I am very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and peace in your memories of Freya.

Glide Free Little Freya

i know it not been long after Freya passing, but the only slight up side has been Kahless ( one of Tucker's grand(forget how many grand it is ) children from Feather ) has let me pet him twice yesterday without crabbing and or lunging at me even for being 4 years old..
I think i only broke down 4 times while home alone yesterday.
