Hi all.
Well Spike (K's iguana) went to a new home last night. In the preparation to move/downsize he made the tough decision to rehome the reptiles and fish. We simply cannot afford the special heat and lighting bills anymore and he's not able to give them proper attention.
Turtle will be going to neighbor today where I think he will have a good home. Still looking for someone interested in the fish. If we can get those a new home, at least we can shut down the tank and worry later about someone buying that and it won't be causing huge electricity bills anymore.
Kinda sad but gotta do what we gotta do. Of course the dogs, ferrets, and cats are staying..it is UNTHINKABLE for them to not be with us..the reptiles and fish were the obvious choice because they were the least bonded to us.
A group of men came and disassembled Spike's homemade cage last night to go to the new home. He will be living in a four bedroom house where he will have his own bedroom and patio. Sounds like he will be happy. Kinda have the blues cleaning up the remnants of where he occupied our living room though. We have huge logs he used to perch on that are too heavy for me to lift (remember I must take on all the physical labor around here lately due to K's condition) so I guess I am going to learn how to use a saw today. Not very excited, kinda hoping K can find a neighbor or friend to do this instead *sigh..*
So today is cleanup of Spike's old living space, rehome the turtle, and just generally clean. I'm not feeling excited about today but what must be done must be done.
Hope you all have a good one.
