Dusty and bubbles…
Dusty Bunny
Over Thanksgiving weekend I was able to take a few pictures of Dusty, and Bubbles. They are now the size of a small dog. I’m not talking about a Yorkies or a Chihuahuas, I’m talking a Bichons or a small Cocker Spaniel. These bunnies are big!
What about their ears?
Bubbles 6 months old
While their noses are soft and warm, their ears are soft and velvety. So soft they make you want to curl up with them, and take a nap. No wonder kids love to have a stuffed bunny to hold on to when they are little!
Now that the bunnies are bigger, they aren’t so cuddly, but they do stop, and let you scratch behind their ears. When you scratch their ears, they close their eyes, and you can almost hear them purr.
Bubbles 6 months old
While dusty is about three or four months older, Bubbles is only six months old, and will grow another six to ten months before she is full-grown. she still isn’t quite as big as dusty though.
I have actually seen Giant Flemish Rabbits that were forty or more pounds. Can you even imagine?
Thank you for hopping by to check Dusty and Bubbles out, see you soon…..

Crush Was A Big Success
Crush
Thanksgiving Day the family gathered not just in gratitude for being able to pull the entire family together (it’s rare we can get the entire family together at one time), but grateful for out health, jobs, and good fortune. We have three performers in our family, and with the schedules of all the rest of us, it’s just difficult sometimes.
Crush the little Gecko without a tail.
On this day we were also checking our Sages new, little geckos. Crush, the gecko without a tail seemed like he was doing pretty well. He was all over the terrarium, and very kicked back. While Megan seemed to want to hide and sleep. So that’s what we let her do. Nobody wants two geckos without tails!
Nolan’s first time with a gecko
After all the kids Oooed, and Aaaad at them both, Sage took Crush out of his glass home so we could see him better.
Sage with Crush
Crush and Megan are Orange Crested Geckos, and this species looses their tails when they are stressed. Unfortunately they never grow them back like other species do.

Time Out For Art
Cheryl & Karen Utley
I don’t do a lot of photo transfers on canvas, but I thought this one turned out nicely. It’s a picture of my sister Cheryl, and myself when we were kids. I don’t remember the original photo, but I always loved this dirt road buryied deep in San Marcos, Ca. and thought the two pictures together told an interesting story. We are all on a path, and each of us has our own journey to take!
I have always loved this picture!
Todays post was inspired by Zebra Designs, & Destinations, check them out!

The Zoo Continues To Grow!
Megan or “Meg” as she will be called
The evening Sage brought her new pal home she Face Timed me to show me her gecko……. I sat there stunned as she showed me this enormous terrarium that had been set up in her bedroom, along with not just “Crush, the gecko without a tail” but, a friend of Crush’s. Yep, you guessed it. The man at the reptile store offered them a discount for buying two, so being the thrifty shopper that my daughter is (never resisting a deal), and the fabulous little researcher Sage is, they bought two geckos. The poor little gecko without a tail needs a friend don’t you think? That’s what Sage said!
Well, I can tell you that Sage’s parents are pushovers!
