baby shrew is now up and walking!
...somewhat.
she is very close with her mom, mouse.
buuuut she's struggling to get the attention of her other mom, dragon eyes.
she was a big fan of the auto rolling ball, and pounced on it/threw it up in the air a lot!
mouse seemed a bit concerned by her violent nature.
estella was very excited to see shrew walking around!
emery has also grown.
shrew checked him out, but she wasn't sure why he was still sleeping.
estella carried emery around for a bit, but she quickly got tired and decided to go back in the suitcase. okay, i guess.
pumpkin tried to get me to play fetch with the roomba.
brutis has also taken a liking toward the roomba. it seems to be a big hit.
even dragon eyes tried it out!
but then she got bored and became interested in this soup.
then mouse stole it from her.
meanwhile, shrew ate an entire bowl of cheese crumbs by herself!
then brutis fell asleep with the cheese crumbs in his mouth, despite his previous outspoken hatred for them. i wonder if he's had a change of heart...or palate, in this case?
i also brought out a few of my other petz so everyone could meet each other -- elspeth, abigail, ankha, fanny, and snowshoe.
elspeth didn't seem super impressed by the baby.
ankha, however, seemed to like her a lot!
as did fanny!
abigail didn't even look in shrew's direction, and instead played with the auto rolling ball.
...until shrew tried to steal it.
fanny and snowshoe also seemed to get along.
but dragon eyes seemed to be kind of scared of ankha. i wonder why?
...oh. that's why. mouse and ankha seem to be REALLY getting along.
whatever, says dragon eyes. she decided to forget about it and hang from the ceiling.
i also brought out a boy named basalt! he's a dig site pug i got from arie on whiskerwick. everyone thought he was weird.
brutis especially didn't like him.
then basalt attacked him.
and then he rubbed his butt across the ground in victory.
i decided to let everyone have some halloween candy! there was a bit of a fight over it.
i even got elspeth to do a trick for one, but brutis ate the treat. this was elspeth's face immediately after.
she opted for carrying around the treat basket.
but then brutis had his treat stolen by fanny, so i guess they're even.
ankha took an interest in the cheese crumbs, and seemed upset that i tried taking a picture of her eating them.
but then pumpkin stole them.
eventually, everyone got tired. mouse fell asleep on top of shrew.
while dragon eyes laid across the room like this.
