Okay~ I've got a few new pics for y'all. I probably won't be updating this thread every week anymore. Ebay is getting bigger~ it's getting to be the busy season for the snakes and I've got other animals on my mind too. Ebay is still very interesting~ but I'm just not sure he is once a week interesting anymore! I'll be sure to update on his continued improving health and I'll try to post pics of him at least once a month~ if your really jonesing for an update you can check my web page and see if I've posted anything new (probably not if I've not posted it here~ but there could be~ and there will be pics of the other birds and what not around here)
www.thereddragonsden.com
near the bottom of the page there are several links to "an emu in my kitchen"~ below all the snake and rodent links.
So anyway~ a few new pics of Ebay~
Here he is helping wash the car~ unfortunatly his definition of help involves stealing the sponges and running like a lunatic across the yard until he finds the appropriatly muddiest spot to drop the sponge!
He also closely supervised the construction of the new Emu Fence with So-chee and my sister Karen
I caught a pic of him this morning nibbling a little greens off the top of the emu food bowl......naturally~ he is picking the greens OUT of the emu food and NOT eating the emu food~ I ordered some emu "maintenance diet"~ I'm hoping that will be more palatable to him.
Ebay looks a little wet in the pic because apparently turkeys ARE smart enough to come in out of the rain......but emu are NOT! I had just snatched him out of the rain and run back into the Kitchen with him. He could have gotten up and gone into Fort Emu with the turkeys~ but he was sitting out in the rain wondering why he was wet!
He's had a rough week~ and I'm feeling like I've had a pretty rough couple of weeks myself. But~ at the end of the day~ With a face like that who wouldn't spend all their free time and a good part of thier SHOULD be doing something else time trying to coax him to eat.....just so he can crap whatever you get into him back onto your kitchen floor?
I'm a very lucky lady~ to have such a great husband he understands~ supports me completely and doesn't give me any grief at all.......even when his wife is so busy forcefeeding an emu in his kitchen she can't get any of her regular chores done....so he has no clean clothes and no food to eat!
See y'all in the funny papers!
