I Saw The Light

senashentaI can't sleep. Again. And so I'm puttering around online, to alleviate the boredom.
.....
Bweh. Dazzle and Flash got into a spat earlier tonight, and they both ended up a little scuffed up. They're both also acting light they don't even know they're hurt, and the injuries are pretty minor (a bit of fur pulled out on each of them, mostly), so I'm not worrying too much. After their little arguement, they just immediately went back to acting like nothing had happened, too. ^^;; Despite that, I did, however, end up sepparating them and moving Flash to another cage. I may or may not put them back together once they're both all healed up.
Ah. Guess I should explain about Dazzle and Flash in the first place, ne? ^^;; They're gerbils, and they are absolutely adorable and very friendly. =3 Dazzle is white, and Flash is "white cinnamon", which basically means he's a light reddish brown color, with faint patches of white around his chin and neck area. Flash also has a short tail for some reason... the people at the pet store said they're not really sure why, but he could have been injured when he was very young; the short tail was putting people off, so they were having a lot of trouble finding someone to buy him. I think that's rediculous, since I find him so damn cute. ^^
So! If everything goes well with the two of them, I'm considering buying a female gerbil, naming her "Shimmer" and then breeding her once or twice. The idea is mostly just to give me something to do, but also because I've never had an animal of mine have babies, and I'm kind of curious. I don't want to do it all the time, but I figure I can do one or two litters and that would satiate my curiosity.
Dazzle and Flash aside, Mom and my Step-Dad got their dog on Sunday. ^^ He's as adorable as ever. They named him "Foxy Possum", but they're calling him "Possum" for short. The name was my Step-Dad's idea. ^_^;; He's still settling in, and is a little nervous at times... he's lived for two years in a place with lots of dogs and few people, and one year of that was in the kennel, so living in a house is really strange for him; things like carpet/stairs/couches/chairs are very new to him.
He's coming along very well, though, considering how upset he was the first day. ^^; He was afraid of everything. Now he knows Mom, Trunks and my Step-Dad, and he actually seems to remember me from Dad and Lois'. >^-^< He cuddles with me a lot when I'm over.
So basically, he wasn't sure at first, but he's seeming to realize now that the Human/Dog ratio is more in his favor here than it was back at the kennel. ^_~ Here, there's almost always someone willing to pet him, cuddle him, and generally dote on him. He's not used to being the center of attention so much, but he definitely likes it!
I should take some photos and post them just to show you how cute he is! X3

Date: 2005-06-08 10:23 am (UTC)I saw the light
I've been baptised by the fire in your touch
and the flame in your eye.
I'm born to love again
I'm brand new maaaaan
This moment brought to you by randomness and good country music. *shuffles out*
