I hope anyone reading this is having a pleasant morning, afternoon, evening. My days have been a bit off. Last night I stayed up all night with Philip. He's showing signs of depression from losing Lillian, so I've put him in with Oscar. I've spent extra time with him every day since Lil passed, but nothing I do can replace her, obviously, so he's going through his mourning process. I wish I could do more to help him. Anyway, Oscar isn't a glider that likes to share his food, so I have to watch the two of them very closely. They play and sleep so well together....it's the food that's the problem. I put separate food and water bowls in the for them, but if Oscar's eating....he's fussing if Phil is in there with him. Still, Philip is happier with Oscar than alone, so I have been staying up nights with them. I didn't get to bed this morning until 8 AM! Anything for my wee ones! But Mommy sure could use some peaceful rest! I can't just stick Philip back in his cage alone and risk him over grooming himself or self mutilating because of depression. I also worry that I won't be able to go to South Florida with Joel like we had planned for the end of the month.
Which brings me to my next paragraph....
Joel has yet another business trip the week of March 30th. I've been planning to go with him for quite some time now. I haven't talked about it because I kept forgetting. lol Anyway, we're going to Naples hopefully. THIS is where we'll be staying while we're there. I can't wait! The only problem is that I'm worried that Philip will not be able to adjust by that time without me here to watch out for him. I have considered sneaking him into the hotel, but I'd hate for Joel to get kicked out of a business payed hotel. lol That would be bad for business, ya know. Mom is afraid of the gliders, so I can't ask her to get him out. She always feeds them and cleans up after them while they're sleeping so she doesn't have to interact with them. Kolby loves the gliders, but he IS a teen. I'm not too comfy with the idea of him being totally in charge of keeping Philip safe and happy. So that's another thing on my mind at the moment.
There is some good news....Philip is just as happy as he can be tonight and very playful. I've had him out for the past few hours since it got dark and they woke up. He hasn't shown ONE sign of being depressed tonight. (Knock Wood)
Lacey, on the other hand, has had a very hard day with her back. Lacey is our oldest Cocker Spaniel. She hurt her back when she was about 4 years old. She's 9 now. Her back goes out on her sometimes when she plays too rough or when she gets a little overweight. So today I had to help her back in the house because she couldn't make the ONE step up from the back yard. Poor girl. Anyway, her doctor gave me meds for her for when her back does this, so she promptly got a pill hidden in a piece of ham. She's snoozing on the floor beside me right now. She's been there for a couple of hours. It's driving Penny batty that Lacey won't play with her. They're usually play buddies.
How about a REALLY cute video? Actually, a link to a really cute video. It's a glider video that is SO freakin adorable! Are you tired of Glider Talk yet? Tough noogies! You're at the wrong blog in that case! LOL Here's the video link:

Ok, that's about it for now. I need to put Philip and Oscar back in their reptarium to get their naps and eat. I'm going to take that opportunity to shower and then fold cloths while I watch Days. Maybe I'll post again later...maybe not. Depends on how busy or tired I get. Later!
Very nice place in Naples. I do hope that it works out for you to go.
Cute video of the little Suggies. I don't dislike them...they just weird me out crawling around my neck. Sorry!
Love Ya Heapes, Bibbi
