paying for the past
Mar. 25th, 2016 08:54 pmI went to the wildlife center today instead of Monday because I slept late thinking the snow was worse than it actually was and thought we'd be getting more snow than we actually were. I'd probably have went Monday had I known.
Tyler said he'd do the same thing in my situation.
Amy is afraid to eat lobster but likes all the other seafood and can't think of any way to cook calamari aside from frying it and I can't think of any way to cook it either. I guess there's hibachi grilling it.
Tiffany says she's eaten crickets but they don't taste like anything and we eat lobster (some of us do, anyway) and they're basically giant sea cockroaches.
Alianna was around too, and so were a lot of people who were just around to check the place out because they had a day off from school or had to take their pets in to get checked up or whatever. One of them had a cardinal tattoo mostly obscured by the hood of her jacket.
Greta thinks baby owls are freaky, had a boa constrictor once but mostly isn't capable of loving snakes, and her friend prefers mammals over anything else.
A woman brought her snake in a pillowcase but it decided to take a shit in there. She might be a volunteer if she weren't so busy. Her name was something like Catherine or Christine or maybe even Claudia or Caroline.
We have a new baby turtle that's about the size of a quarter. This one has pneumonia.
The bigger turtles will leave us when the overnight lows are above 50°F, which means some time around Ascension Day.
We have eight or so baby squirrels right now and some of their eyes are open, so we're phasing out syringe-feeding them and giving them plates of food to eat.
We watched a video of a dog adopting five baby cheetahs, which is unusually large for a cheetah litter, and Tiffany says we should replace the squirrels with cheetahs.
Cheetahs are really inbred due to a prehistoric population bottleneck. Michael heard that all cheetahs are capable of accepting skin grafts from one another and if that's true, that is not good.
One of the screech owls is getting his eye removed Monday and one of the owls needs to be looked at again because one eye is hemmhoraged and one eye has a detached retina.
Priya is sad because yesterday we had to put a seagull with necrotic bone in his wing down. On the bright side, one of the three woodcocks got released. The other two died. This is actually really impressive, because usually all the woodcocks die.
The undin halcyon she carries around reacts to her sadness. Yeah, I think it's undin, not mardu.
Shorty was our receptionist.
Tiffany was talking about when she saw the Palmer-Kelly turtles fighting or whatever and I said I've seen them getting it on before.
"they're all senior citizens."
Matt can't find the med ward and he needed to find a pair of safety goggles before we allowed him to have pizza.
Teddy wanted some pizza for himself.
Tiffany doesn't like pizza meats but I'm the opposite and prefer when pizza is so covered in toppings you can't see the cheese.
Our machine couldn't read a swan's lead level because it's so high. It's down to 12 now.
A while ago, we had one goose that had seizures from lead poisoning.
Since raccoons are scavengers and therefore eat dead animals or their remnants that were shot with lead bullets, there's a tendency to mistake lead poisoning for rabies and distemper.
Tyler said he liked loons until we got a loon that kept trying to stab him.
This happened last week but I forgot to post it here last time I posted about the wildlife center and I told Stephanie about it.
I was going to ask something about Trump or Antonin Scalia or ghettoization in Europe (I'm sure Samantha will have something to say on this on Sunday) but somebody on Ferretbrain asked this:
burning question: How do you become the Sad Puppies organiser anyway? Divine right? Killing and eating the heart of your predecessor? Satanic pacts? Who gets to choose who drives the clown car?
