But for whom wants a sandmartin cliff or a bathouse in the backyard, I'm surtainly the one to give the info *G*

Till later...............

Dragon Ducks and Sleeping Dogs

Hi,

I think the pictures say enough *G* so enjoy.

Cat skull

A few weeks ago I found a very nice looking cat skull next to my horse's water bucket. I boiled it for many hours and this is the result.

Good news on Sushi

Yesterday we gave her the last of the antibiotics. Her belly is now almost fully healed and so there is reason to PARTY. Doughnut is in the same mood, but discovered the hard way Sushi isn't in for mating any time soon (she is neutered any way). Doughnut now has a bloody nose and a damaged ego *G*.

Sushi wouldn't be Sushi if.....

she didn't care about being anesthetized twice in one week :/

How it got to be this way?

Well, she wouldn't be Sushi either if she didn't remove some of the stiched and was planning on removing them ALL. Which is not a good thing, if you know what I mean.
So we brought her back to the vet and they stiched her up yet again. I thought she was not going to make it, but back home she first ate as much lettace as she could and than she bit my mom very hard :/
At the vet practice they said she is a fighter *G* In more than one way for sure.
She has to get antibiotics twice a day and is getting more difficult to handle every second.
But I will not complain, I'm just glad she is so determined about staying alive.

Bad news yet again....

Unfortunately all four baby guinea pigs did not survive. Sushi was rushed to the vet Thursday morning. She was unable to deliver the little ones herself so the vet had to help. The little ones proved to be huge except for the little Yumi. Luckily Sushi is doing great now, she eats like never before and already bit me several times *G*

My mom brought all 4 babies back home, they are all perfect little creatures and it is really a pity they didn't get to live.

In order of birth there names are, Yumi, Sumo, Kuki and Suki.

Bont, You will be missed

Friday morning my best friend had to put her most beloved Shetland Pony down. After being sick for a long time and already having a damaged liver, there was no other way then to let the horse and her unborn foal go to the everlasting pastures. Where no doubt many other horses will be waiting for her. Luckily she lives on through her progency, Twinkle Star.

Best to you G

Bont, Know you will be missed.

Busy, busy and busy

Well finely I have some time to type a message without stressing. On the 27th of April we are organizing a workshop about bats and sand martins. And the 27th is soon, very soon.....

Sushi still keeps the little ones inside, or the little ones don´t want to come out. Maybe they're waiting for Easter. Easter guinea pigs would be fine by me *G*. I already thought up some names:
Sumo
Kuki
Saki/Suki (I don't know yet)
Yumi (which means beauty in Japanese)

Ow and I can't wait to see some pics of the baby Yotes that will arrive at Wolf Park the 16th.

Greetings,

A beautiful flower

a blue Anemone (Anemone apennina), thought it looks more purple than blue to me.........

Have a nice day :)

Still no baby guinea pigs

Sushi looks to be about to explode, but still she hasn't given birth. I'm not worrying yet, as she is still eating and running :/ around. But she no longer looks like a pear but more like a handgranade *g*

Soggy Wolfie

The bet is on

The one who guesses the right amount of babies Sushi is carrying will win one of the babies *g*

Just joking, but for the ones who do want one........

Update on Sushi

For days we have been guessing to how many little ones Sushi is carrying. My mom is betting on 2 and I'm betting on a few more, like 99 or so *g* . She really is huge, on the picture below it doesn't even show half as well, but none the less it shows Sushi is already resembling a real sushi role.

Enjoy,

Big mama Sushi

My guinea pig Sushi is due to give birth any day soon. So I thought it would be nice to give updates on her and her little ones to be. First I'll introduce you to the happy parents.

Sushi, the mom

Doughnut, the dad

I saw them mate on the 9th of February, and since guinea pigs carry their little ones for up to about 2 months, it is almost time :)

Photo edits

Hi everyone,

I had a really busy week, but finally I have some time to post two drawings I made. I tried to put these drawings in a nice photo, I kept it fairly simple, but I think it looks nice. What do you think?

Greetings,

Good news

Since a few years Jessy has cataract, and so she has to go to the vet every once in a while to make sure it hasn't gotten worse. The last few times it was bad news as one eye was getting worse the other had started to develop cataract as well.

But finally yesterday the vet told us it had (momentarily) stopped.

So that was very good news indeed.

Wolfie

And while my mom was taking Jessy to the vet, I was left with two very wolf alike JR's at home. They both exclaimed the most beautiful howl. I even had to cry because it was so perfect.

Tiger

A fairly simple drawn tiger in color pencil. Made for the cover of a project paper on a design for a zoo exhibition. It was for school thus not for real, but fun to do.
I think the left eye is a bit weird, but strangely it is exactly the same as in the original photo.

Spring already ?????

For whom *G* is jealous of the snow we had here in Holland, it is gone as quickly as it arrived. Yesterday I stepped outside and realized it was spring. Birds where singing, the sky was clear and the morning air told me enough. But as is usual in Holland, today was a hell, it rained and rained and it is still raining.

I hope some people are having better weather than this.

Wolfie

who is rather grumpy

Winter wonder land

Yesterday it snowed again, as it has been for most of the week. The south of holland got way less than the north, but none the less it was beautiful.
Here are some pics for you all to enjoy.

Red rose

Well, I drew this one a while ago. I also made a photo edit of it. The arabian stallion is Parys el Jamaal.

Monarcos DD

Thank you all for the nice comments on the wolf drawing. I hope you all like this one as much.

Monarcos DD

I drew this one out of some photos I took myself, during the wonderfull time I had the honours of being close to this magnificent young stallion. He is a true angel in character and beauty. This drawing doesn't show half of this Arabian horse as well as it should be, none the less it resembles him in a unique way.
