The choice to bring another member into our little family is one that Sarah and I had been discussing for sometime. We were both a little uncertain about the additional responsibility that would inherently come with bringing Chloe into our home, but she had such a sweet personality that she immediately melted our hearts and cuddled her furry little way into our lives.
Aiden loves her almost as much as he loves Laila, although he has learned very quickly that unlike Laila, Chloe will bark at him if he is too rough. Because she is still just a little joey, we have a lot to get used to. And for those of you who are still wondering what I am rambling about, Chloe is our baby sugar glider. Our new family pet. Here are a few pictures that I took today so everyone can see her.
Typically I will take Chloe to school with me each day so that Sarah doesn't have to worry about Aiden trying to play with her cage, or squeezing the life out of her. After I get off, Chloe will stay at home while I am at Golds Gym working the evening shift. Typically this will be after Aiden is already asleep and so Sarah can play with Chloe and get familiar with her while I am gone. I think that I may be a bit more excited about Chloe than Sarah is, although she is a very good wife and is willing to indulge my various crazy whims.
We missed having Dot, our old kitty, around and since we cannot have pets here in the townhouses that we live in, at least not traditional pets, we have been trying to figure out a viable option. We both wanted something but I was not to big on the shedding and stuff that come with cats and dogs-though had the kitten been more cute, I probably would have gotten it for Sarah on Valentines Day.
Anyway, I am very excited about our new pet, and I have had a blast showing her off to everyone that I work with. I have had a few people freak out about her, two girls that I work with at Golds were especially weird about her, that is why Chloe cant go to Golds with me as well, but my students all think that she is the coolest pet ever and all they want to do is hold her. She has peed and pooped on a few of them, it has provided me with a great measure of enjoyment.
Right now all she does is climb on things, in about another week (hopefully) she will start to get a bit more brave and will begin to jump and glide (that will be awesome). She is a very sweet little girl (Thank you Alison and Troy) and I look forward to introducing her to all of you in the near future. So, for those of you who don't take hints, come and visit, or we may just stop by to see you.
Cheers,
Price
