Scout, one of my gliders is very sick. I'm a wreck. Please send us your positive thoughts, bunnies.

Thanks.

Big Care Bear Belly rainbows to your baby, Specklet. I know you're taking care of her, make sure you're also taking care of yourself.

I send whuffles, and Augustus sends many, many, many Eskimo kisses to Scout. Lots of hugs, Specklet, dear.

Sending good thoughts westward, Specklet. Keep us updated, OK?

Thank you so much, guys.

We're going to the vet again this afternoon. He seems slightly better.

And thanks, occhi, for telling me to take care of myself. When I read that comment late last night I realized that aside from half an avocado, I had forgotten to eat.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts, bunnies.

Whatever a glider is (I've been gone a long time), you care deeply about it. I hope all will be well. DO take care of yourself, and be well, yourself. Best wishes, m'dear.

Thanks, refleckted! Sugar gliders are tiny Australian marsupials that glide like flying squirrels. See pics of my little guys here.

posted by Specklet 12 February | 16:04

awwww :)

posted by reflecked 12 February | 16:09

Get well, Scout! You can do it!

Many hugs and whuffles to both of you, dear friend.

posted by elizard 12 February | 16:34

Best wishes to Scout and Speck from me and my friends here at URI.

posted by CitrusFreak12 12 February | 19:50

Aw, Specklet, I'm beaming out whatever I can to you and Scout -- and Dill too, who must be worried as well. Tiny little whufflets to all of you.

posted by tangerine 12 February | 20:11

Good wishes to Scout, and you, too, Specklet. I hope he gets better fast!

Fare thee well, Scoutlet!

HE'S GONNA BE OKAY! YAY!

Just got back from a trip to our regular vet. (Saturday night was the panicky trip to the emergency vet.)

He just got run down because of the stress of wearing the (fucking) surgical collars. (For those of you who didn't know, they both were neutered two weeks ago. The collars are these horrible lampshade things that made it hard for them to eat and sleep, and gave them both horrid abrasions on their necks.)

Anyway, he has a bacterial respitory infection but is doing better than he was yesterday. I've got antibiotics for him and have been hand-feeding him lots. He's so sweet when he's not feeling well, he kept crawling out of the pouch onto my chest so I would cup him in my hands. Gah, makes me tear up just thinking about the vulnerability.

Thanks for all your well-wishing and support, guys, it really did help. Truly, I appreciate it so much!

posted by Specklet 12 February | 21:18

I'm so very glad to hear Scout will be okay!

(((Specklet/Scout/Dill)))

posted by deborah 12 February | 23:23

Yay, Scout!

I'm so glad she's OK, and I'm glad I goaded you into eating. My Polish grandmother would be proud!

posted by occhiblu 13 February | 00:31

Wait, Scout's a he? Fix pronouns as appropriate!

posted by occhiblu 13 February | 00:32

Yay! Phew! Yay!

posted by TheDonF 13 February | 03:16

occhi, I really would have forgotten to eat at all if it weren't for you and your grandmother! Thank you.

And yeah, both my gliders are guys, even though Harper Lee's character Scout was a girl... Scout and Dill. Little sweeties on whom I'm gone.

Yep.
