ziiiiip!

all the rats have respiratory infections now and they're all on amoxycillan antibiotics. except for the babies who supposedly get it through their mother's milk.. but they don't seem very sick anyways, so i'm just keeping an eye on them for now. today my naughty boy samuel leapt straight up out of his cage and snuck into his neighbor's cage. his neighbor is a girl rat named aurelia who is still settling in and doesn't have any pics up yet. but now we'll be expecting more baby ratties in about 23 days. *sigh* bad bad samuel!

my mom wants to cut hayley's hair because hayley refuses to wear barretes or hair ties of any kind and it keeps getting in her face, food, the dirt, etc... i'm okay with getting her hair cut. i'm thinking it might curl up again if its shorter. problem is we don't know any good kid hairstyles that won't make her look ridiculous. does anyone have a clue? or any suggestions on where we could look for ideas? besides the magazines in the salon waiting room. we want a little more time to mull over our decision thoroughly before getting that close to scissors.
