Hey there everyone. I just paid off my student loan (yeaaaaaaah!) and suddenly have a disposable income. On hearing this, Chloe promptly drew up a 'wish list' of things that she wants, including weekly trips to a spa for foot pad exfoliation and nail painting--I guess I should be thankful, she asked for a tattoo for Christmas. Anywho, after reviewing and eliminating much of her list (I think a diamond studded collar is just a bit excessive), I found that the one thing she wants which seems reasonable (Chloe: the ferrari? please, I just passed my first test in the stupid graduated drivers license system in Ontario)--a new cage. I've seen some nice three story wire jobs in some of the pet stores here and thought she might like one of those. But, of course, I wanted to know what other people think of them. How wide should the platforms be? Is there anything special you should consider when purchasing one of these? Do people recommend them in general and have they encountered any problems? Also, Chloe wants to know what the record is out there for stolen socks. Her's is 48 under the bed at one time (okay, so I have a lot of socks and I dont' do my laundry all that often). What I do now is save all my holey socks, as do all my friends and family, and put them in the 'sock bin'. That way she can take them and hide them. Of course, every now and them, we bug John by stealing his clean ones from the dining room table. I hold her like an airplane, she swoops in and grabs a nice fresh one in her mouth and then does a perfect three-point landing onto the floor and runs behind the couch. Boy, were we in trouble last time we got caught. And can she ever look guilty... Cheers, Judith and Chloe Chloe: Well, if I can't have the ferrari, can I at least have yearly vacations to tahiti?
