Living with Anteaters

OCT 2
12AM Aurora's having some blue cheese!

1AM Maybe Aurora just ate the cheese cuz she missed lunch. Her tummy was growling like crazy and she's been eating her soup forever and still going.

All three at the log

Aurora is slipping behind the washer

I do wish Ori would finish shedding. She looks like a freak with two blond hips and the rest of her dark. Not as bad in person as it is on camera though, looks bald instead of blond. The rest seems to be going slow.

4PM Nice day. Yea! Going for a walk.

OMG what time is it? What's going on?
Crossing the bridge

A friend we saw along the way

Pua got out before the weather turned cold but chilly enough for a shirt dress.

While the 1st family was debating if I was an anteater or aardvark a lady stopped to ask if I was a badger. Then the family that live at the end of the park came out to see me. They were nice. He thought it was amusing mom was walking an anteater on a leash in a Tutu. He was referring to my shirt dress. Mom wasn't wearing a Tutu.

Aardvarks are "dirt pigs" and look their name but people get them confused with anteaters all the time. My movements may seem a bit badger like when ambling around on the ground but I am missing the markings among other differences.

She went all the way back to the other end of the park and over the bridge again.

Not going to let go of my tail, huh?

Covered in fun

Note of interest: Termites and cockroaches are closely related. Wood cockroaches live in groups and eat wood. Like termites they have special bacteria to digest the wood for them. Pua found some once and deemed them yummy. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/about-us/news/2007/april/news_11364.html

12AM  Had a long walk today so when I got up from sleeping I had to have a nap. Then I had my snack and went to the closet and napped till the others got up. We've played some and are napping again.
