Kreature's Holiday

Kreature had a big day yesterday with lots of exploration. We had to switch out his cage for a bark free one (the bark was irritating the hubby's allergies) and this boy needed a bath.

At first, he fought me. After he relaxed, he spent an hour soaking with his eyes mostly closed!

Then he went for a walk about while we kept cleaning the front room.

After the carpet was clean and dry and the room was ready, Kreature checked out his new cage.

At first he wasn't sure about it. I had to run a couple errands and when I came back, Kreature wasn't in his cage. When I asked my boys where he was, they told me Kreature was sleeping in Belle's dog crate.

I moved him back to his own cage (he wasn't happy). But soon discovered that an upside down dog bed makes a very comfortable hide. His cage is temporary until I can get him a bigger one, but considering how often he is out and about, I think he'll be okay.

A Walkabout for Voldetort

Voldetort lived in for 6 years in a pathetically tiny tank and then was upgraded to a nice 3 foot by 4 foot box. Then he was upgraded to my 1/2 acre backyard.

So what was the first thing he did? Searched for a way to get out. 

And he did. On Tuesday, this little stinker escaped. I searched my yard over and over again thinking he was just hiding. 

Finally on Wednesday, I put up flyers and posted Facebook posts, and ads. I waited and tried to be hopeful that he'd return. 

On Thursday while I was getting ready to clean my carpets, my neighbor rang my doorbell with Voldetort in his hands. His 3 day walkabout ended when the neighbor found him in his driveway. 

I thanked my neighbor repeatedly and then burst into tears after I shut the door. 

Oy vay!! Voldetort will now be confined to the escape proof garden area until the 1/2 acre is fully escape proof. 

NO more walkabouts, Voldetort!!!
