ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :hair: In June I started a babysitting job for a young couple, who have a 2 year old and a 5 year old (both boys). The boys were wonderful, and the job was awesome. I was working Tues-Friday, 25+ hours a week, $150 per week no matter the hours. After 2 weeks, the mother...

Pash, I had to make that decision this month, too. I suffer from Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is the one that really gets me--nightmares screw up my whole sleeping schedule, UGH. This past month though I didn't have a job--I stopped working the second week in July, after...

I have died of cuteness

My hard drive crashed so I'm trying to get some pictures to put up, will do tomorrow, but it has been a year that I've had my lovies. August 19th 2009, my love affair with chinchillas was kindled and has grown thanks to my two big fatties :) They are now between 5 and 8 years old...wish I know...

SQUEEEE!!!!!!!!! :steal: :innocent: :D

Mork is also a mosaic, and his fur looked a lot like Petey's when I first got him--kind of patchy, always looked dirty--(never the bald spot problem you have, though), and he is/was also very small compared to everyone else. He is still my smallest guy; a month ago he weighed 425 g, now he's...

Nope. Trixie (the girl who is actually a boy) was with Willow, and not Ebbers. Ebbers is the one with the discharge which you are worried may be pyometra. ...Is this correct?

Are you feeding these babies, yet?

I think you should use what you explained to us as a starting board, and draft up a very detailed, polite explanation of everything that has happened while you worked there, with as much evidence as possible. Make it VERY VERY VERY detailed, and then ask to sit down with the HR people and the...

You probably thought they were PTS because the CEO of the Humane Society was lobbying the courts to have them all put down. I posted a link about him in the debate section.

This is almost exactly what happened to Ivan around when he turned 2 weeks old, however there were a few differences, the most important being that he recovered in one week. From what you have described, this baby hasn't recovered since birth, let alone improved in his condition, therefore I...

I heard about blowing chinchillas in the face when they bite so I tried that with Mork, and it turns out he loves it :S Course he's deaf so the sound doesn't bother him, makes me think that the sound is the biggest problem when it comes to blowing in a chinchillas face... Ah well. Mork is a...

Have you thought of doing a cage within a cage? I know that separating the two and then putting her cage in his seems like it defeats the purpose, but perhaps she will be calmer since she can sit next to him. And because you've got a double-wired cage (you said you wrapped the original cage in...

... :banghead: :hair: http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?p=1952 Wayne Pacelle is the CEO of the Humane Society of the United States he is also the spokesman for Michael Vick..?

I think that having the DNA on hand in case of missing children is a great reason to store it long term--but like the article said, it should only have the name attached if the government has the DNA stored somewhere, NOT if they're doing testing or something. Isn't there a test to find out if...

I live in NYS. Apparently the DA can't do anything if I wasn't physically present, even if they did break the law. Apparently the gentleman I called and reported the situation to knows my grandparents--and he didn't mention it in a "oh hey I know them, how are they doing" sort of way...it was...

It's a date :kiss:

My therapist and I decided that my original reaction was just leftover PTSD, and that to help me empower myself it is necessary for me to contact animal control, my feelings about animals aside. Coupled with the fact that I can't stand the thought of anyone getting away with something like this...

Thank you for the thoughtful responses. My mother is the one who told me what happened originally, which was almost the most frustrating part because she doesn't like cats--obviously she has a soul so she's not going to hear something like that and think, 'oh well'--but she knows that I love...

I found out some very upsetting news about animal abuse at the hands of my grandparents from my little brother. My brother keeps in contact with my father and his parents, but I don't. They basically disowned me for acknowledging the fact that my father is a physically abusive POS who is in and...
