It just looks so fat and squishy I just want to poke it.

Also, cute thread, I've been having a rough couple of days due to medication withdrawl. Can everyone post the squishiest looking animals they can find?

Sometimes it gets too cold to breathe through their sensitive noses, so they use their furry tails to warm the air up as they breathe with their mouths. Supposedly. Heard that secondhand, so I have no idea and can't find any credible source backing it up.

Here's some ducks.

I dunno if it really fits here, but I wanted to share my good news. I've been overweight for years due to crappy eating, depression and general not moving around. In November, I decided I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and so took to the gym and changed my diet. I weighed in today. I've lost 41 pounds. I'm not where I want to be yet, but just seeing the progress I've made in such a short time makes me feel amazing. :3: If any of you are struggling with getting into shape, please know that you can do it. We're all gonna make it.

Thanks guys! I feel much better about things in general, now, too. The exercise in combination with medication is really helping my depression.

On another happy note, today I saw a person with a big poofy dog (malamute?) and a chihuahua and they were dog buddies.

No worries, guys, moles are very good at finding new places to live on the fly. I used to live on a farm when I was little and when the fields got irrigated you'd get a fuckton of moles running for new shelter- they usually would end up chilling out in the horse fields or in the yard. Really, anywhere with soft dirt and worms is good enough for them. They're hardy, resourceful little bros.

A few pages ago, I mentioned that I was in a horrible car crash in which my femur broke through the back of my pelvis and broke the hip as well. As a result of that, my right leg was pretty much dead weight and I could barely move it.

Today was my first physical therapy session, and it went really well. I ACTUALLY WALKED. I can't walk without using a walker for support, but I still actually took proper steps.

Yay for you! I'm really happy you're making a recovery.

Going back to possum chat from a few pages ago, this is my pet short-tailed opossum, Pepper.



I've had her almost 3 years now and she's been an absolutely wonderful pet. Fully litter trained, comes running when I make kissy noises at her, and loves sleeping in jacket pockets. She's actually curled up and fast asleep in my lap as I type this. :kimchi:


And as an added bonus, she glows neon orange/pink under a black light! :pcgaming:



Oh my goooood. How did you end up with Pepper for a pet?

Hey thread, looking for some ideas to help out a few friends.

One of my close friends has taken a really big fall out bushwalking and is in a super bad state. There is not a lot I can do to help her right now but want to do some nice stuff for her partner. Currently have card sorted and am cooking up a bunch of food so he can spend more time with her in hospital and come home to have a lazy burrito to pull out of the freezer or what ever. Looking for some other ideas that might help out a bit.

Have some bush rats











That's really sweet of you to do. Honestly, the fact that hee doesn't have to worry about cooking is probably a huge help. I'd suggest also throwing together a basket of fun things he can take to the hospital to share with his wife.

Thanks for these suggestions. I'm wracking my brain for ideas to help my stepmom, but she can't really read in the hospital since her vision is still a bit blurry, and small text gives her a headache and could send her into relapse (she has Guillain-Barre and they're doing everything they can to keep her from setbacks). She's always liked to read, so I wonder if a book on tape would help? Or some language lessons? She's still pretty weak--was only able to sit up for a few minutes yesterday, propped up--but her mind is clear and she must be bored to pieces.

In exchange for your kindness, I offer an ACTUAL mimicking raven:

Did somebody say

budgies?







Budgies are great companions! I used to have two, until my little Tokyo passed away. I still have Fuji, who is the most adorable little rear end in a top hat I could have ever asked for. Budgies are pretty chatty, and they like to burble/peep pretty much all the time. They're not teh most cuddly of birds, but if you want a buddy to sit on your shoulder and talk in your ear and groom your eyebrows, then budgies are great.

You should also consider lovebirds!

You should get another one, from what I understand they don't do too well on their own. My ex had a couple of Budgies, and after one died they got another pretty quickly.

Edit: I did some more reading, and as long as you socialize with it every day it'll be fine. It still might not hurt to get another though.

I know I should get Fuji another buddy, but losing Tokyo hurt me so badly that I'm just not ready. :smith:

Don't worry, Fuji gets two hours out of the cage with me every day, and my desk is right by his cage, so he's never alone.

Hey dude, you can have birds and cats. I have a big old man cat who's greatest pleasure in life is hunting, but I also have an adorable tiny bird. Just shut the cats out of the room for a bit. They'll whine, but be okay.
