Sorry about the absence

Ok, so it has been a while since my last post. Dodge has gotten his test results back, and he seems to be doing better. However, since that happened, we have been back to the vet to deal with Crop Burn. What is crop burn you ask?... Think about a 3rd degree burn in your stomach that burns right through to your outside. We are waiting for the "blister" to pop so that we can take him to the vet to have it surgically fixed. At this point though, he is almost fully weaned, and the only reason at this point that we are still feeding him formula is to be able to get the antibiotics into him. He is learning how to hold food in his foot, but still hasn't quite fully figured that out. We have found a new cage for him and it will be here by Wednesday. We have to re-arrange the furniture so that it will fit, but I am looking forward to having an appropriate cage for him. Once we have it set up, we can clean the other cage and give it back to Oscar. We will put the other cage back onto the front porch and that way there will be a safe place for him to enjoy it outside. Right now, we have a concern, there have been rumors floating about that there is a 6 foot python swimming in the canal behind our house, so I don't want the kids unsupervised out side. Now of course, I don't know if it is true, but I don't want to risk it either.
On a non birdie note, I am doing really well with school. It may only be three weeks into it, but I still have a 100% in my Intro to Early Childhood Education and Curriculum class, and I have a 97.75% in my Academic Strategies class. So this is very good new for me, I had not enjoyed school before, and I am really enjoying it now. That is about it for now, and I will let everyone know what happens with Dodge.
