[Gpdd] Health: Speedy

[Dawnda Stricklen]

Hi Jim

I am sorry to hear about Speedy. Oh, how I hate to see
them facing the corner! I know what is coming next,
because that is always the sign that that won't make
it very long.  I usually go ahead and put them down 
when they are facing the corner. I hate doing that
worse than anything else!! My prayer will be with you!

I think the same way about burdening someone else with
all my animals if something should happen to me. I
still can't help but get one more. There is always
some unwanted and mistreated animals somewhere. I have
always had to rescue them. I get that from my mother.
She says that I was just born that way. She never had
to teach me how to hold or treat a animal. It came
naturally. She is always calling me a caretaker.

The boys are doing well. They would really like to get
to Prissy. They knew immediately that their was a new
female. 
I let her walk around their cage and smell their
noses. They act so silly around her. They will stand
in their water bowl and popcorn to the top of the
cage. Of course, they do have a top to their cage. I
think they would sprout wings and fly out to get to
the females. 
My husband built 3 wooden frames to fit the boys cage
and put animal screen in between. I get a workout
every day taking all of them off to clean their big
cage. It takes me about two hours everynight from the
time I start feeding, watering,washing towels, and
unfolding newspapers until the cages are all clean.

My husband just stopped at their door last night and
said "Man, those boys are big now!" Mocha is going to
be the biggest and prettiest. Abbys are usually the
bigger breed. I tell him he is too pretty to be a boy.
Krammer is a cutie too with those big eyes and silky
fur. Dexter is the most lovable and friendly one. They
haven't started fighting yet either. I hope they
don't. I would hate to partition their cage off three
ways.
