Another quiet day at the wildlife center. Tyler said that boarding was turning into hoarding.
Tyler's official diagnosis of the crow is "he was all sorts of fucked up."
It's quiet because there haven't been any major storms yet, at which point we'll end up with a whole bunch of seabirds, most of which will end up dying.
Jacob says that rock doves are easy to care for because they're used to humans but their cousins mourning doves drop dead as soon as they see us. Gulls are easy to take care of. Waterfowl with lead poisoning and raptors with rodenticide poisoning are easy to take care of if we get them immediately after but it's very hard to treat an animal in which the toxicity has already left some permanent damage.
One of the turtles boarding bonks into the tank walls all day long.
We thought a sugar glider ate something indigestible like newspaper or string, but it turns out he had appendicitis.
The goose wasn't eating but he was gaining weight somehow.
I had to give Bling a change in water which meant I had to either scale the unsurmountable wall or sneak past the fire breathing dragon. I chose the unsurmountable wall.
Tyler said he was at the wildlife center for Gordon. He thought about getting a bacon cheeseburger or something but decided to get a turkey sandwich instead what with Gordon the pig around. Also, his sisters got a plush hotdog for him to cuddle with. Maybe it's a tofu dog or a kosher hot dog.
The box lied to Nicole. It's not actually stuff from White's bakery, it's just some Reeces Peanut Butter Trees and brownies.
Once Nicole met a guy with a missing leg who told her not to go to Adams, and he didn't get on the train with her so we thought he was just sitting at the station and warning people about Adams.
They've encountered Keytar Bear but I haven't; I suggested that when the Wildlife Center starts their own band, Jacob plays keytar, because Jacob says he's good at instruments that don't have strings, like guitar or keyboard, while Nicole plays guitar, ukulele, and she got a mandolin. Jacob thought she said violin and that's totally different.
Nicole also knows about the one man band and the guy with the erhu although she sees him at South Station while I see him at Downtown Crossing or occasionally Park Street, but they don't know about the violinist with the disco ball and I neglected to mention the woman who plays the flute with reverb petals, whom I have never seen but she was mentioned in a blog I don't remember the link to. Either Jacob or Tyler mentioned the didgeridoo and someone else mentioned an all-didgeridoo band and Emily thought that would sound terrible. I told them about Kazoontheit, which was alas formed in the late 1970s.
Chinchillas grab their alfalfa (or raisins, which Chinchy or whatever her name is loves) with one hand, while squirrels grab the peanuts with both hands and arararararar. Also, the squirrel bit Courtney the other day. I think the swan pimp-slapped her too. It pimp-slapped someone.
The Portuguese word for alfalfa is alfafa, they lost the l somewhen. The Portuguese word for pumice is pomes which is pronounced more or less the same way. Chinchillas like to whet their teeth on that stuff, that's why I'm bringing it up.
Emily, a different Emily who is probably not Gujarati, kept her rats in the hood of her jacket, and since they have really good depth perception, they're totally fine. She has a bracelet of pastel turtles and she thinks the other bracelet depicted monkeys but the beads are so faded she can't tell.
One of her rats was Louise, who was not specifically named after Louse Belcher but still reminded Emily of her.
One of her rats was Penelope, who was nice, unlike our Penelope. Earlier, I told a different Emily my theory as to why: because right before I started out, Penelope was paired with a llama and we got Gallop after the llama died, and Penelope was bigger than Gallop for a while but now that Gallop's bigger than Penelope, Penelope takes out her frustration on people.
She says that she can't paint for shit but loves watercolors. I don't know how we got into that. I mean, I know I brought up people with blue and pink hair because tattoos and dyed hair and nose rings are socially acceptable to anyone who isn't stuck in some indefinable and idealized past but I have no idea how we got into that. She has a nose ring but I only brought up hair dye and tattoos. I don't know if she had any tattoos. If she did, none of them were visible because it was the coldest it's been since April. Her hair was brown.
Nicole was wondering if she should leave the oxygen on for future surgeries and checked the appointment list for a paralyzed animal. The burning question is Jacob's response.
burning question: if it's paralyzed, why does it need to be knocked out?
