Terrariums... And Other Stuff.
I'm looking into fostering an animal for the local branch of the S.P.C.A., so today Mom took me out there to get an application. Basically, the whole thing gives the terms and conditions of becoming a foster "parent", then asks if you understand what you're getting into. After that it asks for a list of any cats and dogs that you already have, along with their age/gender, whether their shots are up to date, and the phone number of their vet.
After I take that back in, they have to come and do an inspection to make sure I'm a decent person to entrust the animal(s) to. So they know I won't be skinning them and making them into stew as soon as they're out of their crates and whatnot. ^_~
Once we got the papers and headed out, Mom took me to the pet store (jeez, I spend as much time there as I do at home...), where I grabbed a couple of mineral blocks. What I was actually there for, though, was a 10-gallon terrarium for Dazzle. ^^; Flash was fine in his cage, but Dazzle would really obviously be more happy in a terrarium... so I got one for him, along with a mesh lid and a hook-attachment for the water bottle.
When I came back home and set it all up, I ended up putting Flash in with him as well. I figured if I'm going to try introducing them again, the best idea is to do it on neutral ground--like a new terrarium. And they're doing fine, so I think all it pretty much well with them. They both seem to like their new home, too, which is good. ^^
While we were still out, I got Mom to head to the mall to look through Zellers and the book store. While we were at Zellers, I got a couple of posters (because the bare walls around here were starting to make me twitch), then at the book store I grabbed a bargain book on Unsolved Mysteries of the world. It looks like an interesting read.
When we were leaving the book store, I asked if I could take a quick look through San Diego, since it's right across the hall... and in there I found some pretty star-themed bead curtains. I'd asked for them for Christmas, but no one could find them at the time. Anyway, Mom bought me a couple boxes to go where my "closet" is; I put them up when I got home (after I dealt with Dazzle and Flash), and boy do they look snazzy!
I also nicked a poster for Sarah while I was out (it's of Guitar Chords), and she was so thrilled with it that it was kind of funny. ^^; It actually turned out that she had bought something for me a while ago, too, but kept forgetting to give it to me. The poster reminded her, so she went and got it, and it ended up being an adorable fluffy blue stuffed bunny. >^-^< She got it around Easter time.
I named him Momiji, because I have no imagination sometimes. XD
