Posted in I'm going to be a rat mumma! Posted 5 years ago

@sunny:

this is my girls snuggled up a few days ago!
So cool to know people who like rats as well! This is my first time owning them ;;
Another few more sad questions are once a rat does pass, what do I do? I heard about preserving the body in a container or burying them but I am not sure :(
My boyfriend and I, after the heart attack we had the other day dedcided we wanted to take more pictures and do little feet prints and things of them, so we have something
And then we are unsure what to do about getting a partner rat- we have 2 cages and a bathtub but is it better to get 1 rat to pair up with my girl, or would it be better introducing her to a family of 2 rats? Blah xD

We ended up putting a pedestal fan in there to blow some air around and I gave them more cold water bottles to snuggle up (and fresh water, always)
She is fine now- well fine like normal. Still hates being touched, loves darkness and steals the food off her sister XD

@Glume: didn't think of honey and will look today for some of the goldenseal in shops! Thank you c:

@glume: if you're still up for it- the vets last time put the girls on doxycycline and ome other medication
I've heard graprefruit juice, darkest chocolate and steam helps clear their air ways but do you know other more common medication or home remedies that could help with their mycro?

Am I allowed to update this, maybe I should get it moved to life discussion or hangouts thread

This morning I went in to check on my girls and it's been so hot here lately.. I saw them both sleeping in weird spots of the cage- I guess it's cooler there? Rosie, my friendly little gal greeted me with a lick of the fingers- uncommon but it's happened before and she's usually awake in the morning

But our other quiet girl, Pip was laying flat on her stomach sleeping - don't get me wrong this is normal and she prefers night time to morning.. but I went to go pat her (they both don't like it but tolerate it, i am mean xD) and expecting her to push me away or roll her eyes after opening them she did.. well.. nothing?

She just sat there- and you know how in your life, you start over thinking bad things? that was me, my world was in slow motion and I kept patting her as if she was gone - talking to her to see if she'd move.. but she didn't...

Rosie- my sweetiepie pretty much rushed over when she saw me patting her and was licking my fingers again, before crouching over her sister, nuzzling and licking her too! My heart skipped a beat and I started crying a little - Pip didn't look like she was breathing.. I called over my partner and we tried to push Rosie off (gently of course) but she didn't move..
Panicking, thinking it might have been the heat, I dipped my finger in water and started tapping Pip's nose- very faintly it started to twitch and she opened her eyes, got up and went behind her hut - back to sleep..
I was so worried and am more worried now and keeping an eye on her - they will both be making a trip to the vet on Monday and I guess we can see how it goes from there?
Ah, I just needed to put this into word, it was on my mind all day :(

Posted in What food is the AAY? Posted 5 years ago

Eating you would taste like static or white noise.. so maybe Gelatin is the closest food that you can get?

Posted in Encore: Until We Meet Again Posted 5 years ago

I wish that I could have participated more during this event - from what I witnessed and did get to participate in, it was my favorite online activities so far!
The effort and attention to detail from the staff was such a treat

I hope the Cirque does come back and we get to interact with the NPCs again.
The art of the group at the post on the front page makes me so happy too, aaah!!

Posted in Time alone Posted 5 years ago

I often feel wrapped up in my own head, thinking about the future or past - be it work, house or social things. Even on my day off, I tend to go out or have duties to complete.. when I do get time to myself it seems to fly by and I can never get enough of it.

I have started waking up early, which gives me more time during the day for my own mindless things. I spend a lot of time in the car commuting to work now, which I guess is the next best thing to solitude.

Blanket burrito is a great term omg.. I need more of that in my life

A long time ago there was a house with a creepy door.
At night, neighbours could recall it opening and closing - though no body was home.

I didn't even know about the wings until this post they are gorgeous!

Loved the monarchy Idea but know it may have been a bit obscure for some people
