There was no play time today with the new guys. Jiji and Mike slept in my room, so I couldn't get to them until about 9:00, and they were already asleep. Shikoni also wasn't in the mood for playing, he gave me a few kisses and that's all. Maybe too much turkey?

Last night's dinner: salad, including some fresh herbs - lemon thyme, chickweed and oregano - cucumber, spinach and spring mix; baked sweet potato; a tiny slice of turkey liver from the stock pot; white and dark meat from the roasted turkey; a little dab of cranberry-orange relish; a spoonful of fruit salad. Shikoni left a little sweet potato and all the fruit. Washi and Kioko ate everything! There were little bright-colored half moons and a few small lettuce leaves left. Those guys really have good appetites!

Jiji got out her camera and we took pictures of Shikoni peeking out of his nest to get a mealworm; Washi and Kioko in their pouch, squirming around to get out of the light; and "Sugar Glider at the Beach". We'll try to get some more pictures this evening when they are not so sleepy, and someone may stay out long enough for a good shot or two. She didn't bring the cord to plug it into the computer, so she'll EMail me pictures and I will try to get them downloaded to my computer, then to this site. I really don't know how to do any of that, it will be a learning experience for sure. Maybe the camera has a memory stick that would be compatible with my plug, I don't know - I just don't know enough, and don't want to experiment. Mike may, he uses the camera every day at work.

I held both Washi and Kioko for a few minutes today, no crabbing, no bites! I did get a few nibbles, but nobody was serious about it. I just love those little boys!

I work in horticulture for a good-sized city, so any gardening -- I love to read and work HARD crosswords -- also draw and paint. My News
Kioko and Washi came to live with me on 11/23/08: five-year old brothers. As of February '09, we're having great luck with bringing them all together into one happy little colony. Favorite Quote

Very old, b. 1957 in New Martinsville, WVa. Live in Central Texas now. I'm Mother to Ophelia, a 4-foot ball python; Domino, a regular cat; and Shikoni, Washi and Kioko, three lively gliders; and Step-Mother to Mike, a 13-year old former stray yellow shepherd. We and other humans all live together in quite surprising harmony.
