Raindrops and roses and things...

Junior tends to cover his nose like this when I make something particularly pungent and spicey.

He isn't so confused or excited about it now, but it still entertains him enough.

Getting cozy

He loves crawling/climbing upside down under chairs like this.

Various pics of Junior in his favorite playtime spots.

Ocean views... we were hoping to catch a but of green flash, but alas...

We took my parents to my boyfriend's family condo in Mexico for a weekend. There were turkey vultures....

Cute boys...

Upside down cat...

Some belated Christmas cat pics. He loved that tree.

The growth on Topaz is the main reason why I isolated him. I've been trying to figure out what it is. It was originally all white, but now his scales are starting to grow on it. Is it a tumor? Is it viral? Bacterial? If I knew what it was, I could try to treat it. I've been dosing the tank with Ich meds. It doesn't seem to work. The growth seems to have gotten worse and bigger even. I might try parasite meds soon. I'm going to look into having anti-fungal meds ready to go. If anyone can give me some advice, tell me what I'm doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

I started setting up the 10 gallon again. My 5 gallon was getting super overrun with scuds and debris. I'm trying to get better at fish keeping.

Some root veggie gratin I prepped for Thanksgiving, based on a recipe by Spoon Fork Bacon.

Play time and snuggle time with dad.

Ugh, mommy, the thing you did in the food room today was really stinky and stung my nose. But the warm clean clothes bed made up for it.
