armed with will & determination

Journal Entry: Wed May 14, 2008, 5:30 PM
I got a truly heart-breaking e-mail today.

My wonderful breeder wrote to let me know there was a power outage at her handfeeders' place and the electricity to the incubator where the baby birds were was cut off. All three died.

She is hoping her other pairs will lay soon. I'm not a religious person but if something is not meant to be, then it is not meant to be. I'm on a wicked Sandman bender right now and so I remember the very first time we meet Death and she takes the little baby. He says, "But is that all there is? That's all I get?" And she replies, "Yes, sweetheart, that's all." Not cruel, just a fact. Just nature. Just happens.

I'll wait til it's meant to be.

In happier news, I'll be attending the Canadian Parrot Symposium in Victoria, BC this weekend. I'm VERY excited about this!

You gallery is absolutely stunning. I commented on a BSG pic of yours under my BSG Comics account, but I had to log out and add you to my watch list on my main account because your art is amazing!

Great work!

A co-worker of mine breeds fancy gerbils (in a responsible fashion) and pretty much said the same to him.

Yes sadly there is no one except irresponsible commercial dwarf breeders out here. Some good ones in BC though. *sigh*

I'd offer us to supply you but I don't think we're close enough! :P (We're West of Buffalo)

The one breeder in this area is painfully indiscriminate about his pairs, which has ended up with a few fascinating traits, such a propensity for cannibalism among the normal males, hyperactivity and early death in the mottled pups of either sex and glaucoma in the little orange guys. I work at the pet store which sells his pups and it's kind of interesting watching his genetics implode. :P

My wife looked for several breeders so we could get a good set of genes. Some of them come with interesting side-effects.... Our dilute-platinum hams tend to be a bit psychotic, but we're finally reaching the point in breeding where they have pretty decent personalities. The beige (orange) hammies seem to have a 'wimp' gene along with- the flip side of that being that some of them are completely bonkers!

You're welcome. ^_^ I love the hams. You have tremendous variation in the genetics of your dwarfs... I wish there was someplace around here that could supply such a wide variety of colours!

You're gallery is amazing! More people should check out your work!!!
I watch you now. :heart:
