Meanwhile, Mercedes brought me up in a conversation with Tiffany, and someone found Spyro hanging out in the classroom where Matt keeps his dogs, which was totally unexpected because I assumed the door would be closed because the dogs were in there.
For now, we bid farewell to Love. The big bunny, not the concept. Skinner the rat left too, replaced by a guinea pig. Jacob said Skinner evolved into a guinea pig, while either Tiffany or Tyler thought something ate Skinner. Now, boarding is just surly turtles and a blind hedgehog. We thought of giving him one of those balls to roll around in and said that all of a sudden, it would come rolling at Tyler at 40 miles per hour and knock him over.
Dr. Bling's Nebulizer 5000 was in the enrichment room.
Someone snuck in another turtle, so now we have nine in the pool, nine box turtles, Salvadora, one Russian tortoise, two red feet, four surly turtles and two tortoises in boarding, Valley, and Bling.
Puff laid eggs last weekend and we're incubating them. We guess they'll hatch in around 45 days.
Tiffany made a nice salad of rhubarb leaves and stalks for the turtles and realized "oh, shit, rhubarb is toxic." Tyler said he wouldn't eat it due to its color. I want some rhubarb and strawberry mush now.
Matt was trying to get various animals to eat worms. He thinks that the turtles are too dumb to know they're at the bottom of the pool but one guy figured it out. Spyro ate a few, while Puff ate one. Matt would eat a worm if none of the reptiles did. In fact, 50 worms is nothing.
Speaking of eating worms, How To Eat Fried Worms is older than I thought it was. Zack's never heard of it but Matt knows what I'm talking about. Also, it's 15 worms in 15 days, not 50 worms for 50 dollars. Also, I like how Amazon's plot summaries are terrible.
We had to get new worms for the vermiculture tank due to a combination of cut-rate worms from Walmart and a setup that wasn't self-sustaining or whatever.
The tank smells redolent of summer.
"Their hemolymph is on your hands." It seems to be an arthropod thing and not an annelid thing.
Here's a word that sounds dirty but isn't: clitellum.
"All right, worm mountain, here's lettuce mountain."
They kept trying to escape by climbing up the glass walls of the tank. I think he said he was going to collect seven kilograms of goat feces for them to eat. Maybe you could shine a light on them because apparently when you shine lights on the ground, the worms retreat back into their burrows.
Hopefully Uncle Jim's Worm Farm produces a higher caliber of worms than Wal-Mart.
"anything is funny if you're drunk enough."
It's really survival of the adequate, not survival of the fittest. As long as they live long enough to have offspring, they're doing fine.
Oh yeah, and sorry to keep editing the previous entry. That was the last time, I promise.
burning question: is only being able to use a pea shooter worth it to finally defeat Spike Wall Man?
