Hope all goes well with lovely Hugo. I've heard of people finding poisons here too. So despicable. Chewie was given activated charcoal at the vet once. Apparently he nommed it up. 😅

We celebrated Halloween yesterday and Diwali today. I'm still sore and tired but I've tried to make it fun for Rowan He dressed as a Lorax yesterday and we did a little lap of the block, chatted to neighbours and collected a few sweets. Today he wore a kurta set to preschool, they learnt...

Hope Maxx makes a full recovery and is home soon. What a worry!

I have to admit, I was a bit concerned about him um... aggressively cuddling me because he likes to crush us heavily at night. Like when he lies down he sort of flings himself onto us with his elbows out. "I will get as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE, human!"

Chewie normally sleeps on our bed. Last night OH slept with Rowan so I could rest and Chewie would normally lie on his pillow. He knew I was sore and decided to spend the whole night on his own bed. He is always very careful if he thinks someone needs special care. Considering what a buffoon he...

I've just caught up with this. Sorry to hear Kate. I hope Reuben bounces back quickly. Xx

Chewie got chased by another turkey today. He totally ignored as it became bolder and bolder, trying to peck him and kicking dirt at him. It couldn't actually hurt him so it was just funny how he completely ignored it.

I agree the variety is good for their microbiome. We give Chewie a mix of freeze dried raw (at the moment beef and fish) and kibble (lamb or kangaroo) plus other bits and pieces like sardines, raw meaty bones (rib bones or brisket), veg and fruit (he looooves fruit).

Yup. We finally got our DA signed off and have lined up a builder. Just finalising the engineering, geology and plans and then we have said we want to start mid to late 2025 so we can start kindy and get settled in at school before moving out. Pet friendly rentals in our area are eye wateringly...

We get two scheduled council pickups a year and they will take away up to 2 cubic metres of stuff. In our old council you could schedule a pickup every fortnight! I also try to donate to charity shops or give away via local buy nothing groups. So much baby stuff to get rid of! Especially as we...

When we have council cleanup there are people trawling the streets in vans collecting the best stuff! My husband came home with this nice outdoor table a year or so ago, it was really handy and in perfect condition but he picked it up from outside next door. So hopefully they don't notice it in...

Thanks for asking. He has been totally fine since that night. Hopefully he stays that way.

They're always random and strange. Even when they sound sensible they're usually being weird. For example, the friend wasn't being responsible because he didn't IMMEDIATELY pack the toys away to go get a milkshake. 🤣

Rowan has a friend over today and their conversations are hilarious. "You're not being responsible! You have to pack the toys away!" "N we have to wash our hands before lunch!" "I'm a banana!"

Fingers crossed Kate. :hug:

He is very much fine this morning. Barged me out of the way to smother our cleaners in love.

Not that I've seen. There are no acorns in our immediate vicinity that he would have unsupervised access to. And it has been multiple episodes with no clear unifying trigger. I haven't seen any unusual critters in the garden.

So teeth were fine, abdomen soft and no discomfort, bloods completely normal so not pancreatitis or worse. Apparently he was totally fine at the vet... Happy and wiggly. He is home now. The vet said if it happens again we can get a referral to a gastroenterologist. We are back in two weeks...

Poor little Chewie has been having these drooling episodes- about 4 in the past month. Initially we bought it was related to a dietary indiscretion so dismissed it when it resolved but now we are worried. His behaviour is a bit different too, he clearly wants to be alone, which is what he does...

Isn't it lovely how they communicate? I think it reflects the interspecies bond, which is a very special thing.
