Random Thoughts.

So not much has been happening. The money situations getting a bit dire but I should be able to cover the rest of the costs that are required.

I've got one more major assessment due at the moment and once that's handed in I can focus on getting the cages painted and working on the Health Guide. Then in a month two HUGE assessments, and two exams. On November 17th I am released from this study hellhole for the summer. There's a rabbit show on November 20th, a Cavy Show on November 27th. We move December 1st. At some point I'm also hoping to visit the breeder I'm collecting cavies off, or at least meeting up with her at the show. I'll also be going back and forth to care for the rabbit as well as somehow agreeing to help handrear show goats owned by the lady with the rabbit.

So basically life is hectic. I've had to start a week by week listing of the million and one things I have to do. We also have to pack up two households worth of crap, take carloads worth of crap to donate to charities and somehow coordinate the collection of five animals who will then be living in travel cages till we get to our new house and unpack their cages. I need to locate and purchase a cage for bunny rabbit too which is like another $100.

We need to take birds to the vet for a health check, as well as clipping their wings completely and doing toenails (my conures fine with this sort of fuss, the tiel is not), cages need to be scrubbed down and packed and records updated in case (god forbid) we lose them on the trip up, though its something I do not even want to think about occurring. 

With the hectic nature of the move I think feeding wise guinea pigs and rabbit will be expected to all eat Peter's Lucerne pellets for one to two weeks. So I have time to purchase appropriate feed once we get to Uralla. Guinea pigs will of course receive veggies and grass during this time but bun will be fairly restricted to hopefully prevent stress induced diarrhea.

Basically we have a million and one things to consider when moving two humans, and eight animals five hours North. I will be sooo glad when this is over.

It's pretty much guaranteed we'll be getting the house, contracts are being exchanged at the end of this week or beginning of next.
