well, the cuttle's system has been taken down for full-on revamp. i had been housing a few of the darwin occy clowns in the top tank and a few feeders (silversides and ghost shrimp) in the bottom tank .. with a handful of frags scattered between the two as well. everyone has since been relocated; the clowns and silversides moved in together (and are getting on quite nicely i might add,) the ghost shrimp are now exploring the display reef and the coral frags are hanging out in limbo for the time being. i've yet to decide on a specific plan to improve the set-up for a new batch of cephs .. but can't wait to have a few of the little characters back in my days, i really do miss them.
the remaining wildlife in the house all seem to be consumed by a marathon crabassin' session, brought on by old man winter. the 3 mutts are not impressed, nor is the boyfriend. (yes, he counts as wildlife!) any more than a dusting of snow and arnold, the black chihuahua, is forced to follow premade paths that the girls have cleared before him .. or face the challenges of a low draggin' belly. you think you've got it bad? try on a pair of 4" legs and let arnold know how that works for ya. tassi and teej (pictured to the right) are constant warm hogs, whether it be the real estate in front of the fires or the last square inch of blanket to be swiped. not a fan of winter to be found in this household.
with that being said, i say it's time i light a fire (literally and figuratively) and get the few bits of wrapping taken care of so i can wrestle the beasts for a spot on the couch and enjoy a night in with the family. merry christmas, folks! enjoy!
