I don't think it looked particularly amazing either - I could see it was a teensy bit bigger than usual maybe. The real miracle of it was that it got so many people out to watch the moonrise, and that it motivated my fat arse to get off the chair and go find a great place to watch it rise.

awww...  if you are gonna feature an axolotl..   it should be shown it in its beautiful youth....   





sooooo pretty...  


and then all of a sudden...    those years are behind it 

Oh my! Those creatures are beautiful. So dinky as if they were made with play dough

my daughter has been wanting one for years..   

its not happening though..   cos when I asked her what she would do when it uglied up I am sure I heard the word "FLUSH" in her mumbled answer!


although she went on to say that it would amuse her to see peoples faces when they asked what her big old ugly salamanders name was... & she replied "Pinky"

I had a black axolotl that used to attack me.  He was called, The Minky Thing. 

 giggling away thinking of this being played out.

oooh!   so they do have proper personalities then?


we looked at some ads for them....   one bloke was selling off a load that had limbs missing (they had been taking chunks out of each other)... but tried to use this as a selling feature..   saying the fun was in watching them regenerate  

I had to admire the pitch...  

The funky thing is......their limbs do regenerate.

One of the few animals that do this.  Slimey little miracles in a lot of ways.  If somewhat violent, right enough.

Damn, I crossed my ferret with the wrong animal! Ferrets can heal spinal cord injuries, they're one of the only animals that can. I should have crossed mine with an axolotl rather than a snail!!

stop it!  

I won't be swayed...   not getting one, not getting one... 

its why I have resisted going and looking at any that are up for sale...    I know how this one goes..   "I'll do all the looking after it mum...  no you won't get stuck with cleaning out tanks/cages whatever"

but I always do.


she'll have her own place in the next few years... she can get one then & I will go and visit it.

thats cool! 

Minky Thing looked like this.  Cheerful little fellow when not attacking me.

Awwww...

well..  he's not half as ugly as the pics I'd seen...

in fact he's still really cute!!!


God!  Daughter can NEVER see this pic!!

Maybe she can have..... Gigilotl!!!!

Better!

hahahahahahaha


I proper laughed out loud then...     (I can hear MrD tutting at me upstairs!)

awww.. Gigi

...'kin lol......  What a beast!

I liked her better as a snail.. but then again that night I had more time to spend dicking around on Photoshop.

Anyway.... back to the topic..... what was it again?

*whispers*

moon

Shoot, I don't have any photos of Gigi mooning!

I'm sure you do 

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Awww its little Weezie 

Don't snail him! 

Nah, this one's Weez(ie)!

I wish I could work ferrets and full moons together somehow so that I could justify my straying from the topic!

What a cute lil fella 

*wants*

every time I see pics of them I go all "awwwww" out loud!

impressive right now as I am watching Foo Fighters on the telly (brixton, NME awards)...  

they gotta be cute to interupt Dave!

We stayed somewhere right next to where a load of beavers were nesting last weekend.  Never made an appearance though.  Selfish little shites.

Damn!

 My daughters mate had/has  a snake called foo fighter.

I know.  Left a few well chewed trees by all accounts and sat on their arses with their feet in the air.  Snoring till April.  Lazy 'kers \/

 There have been worse strays lol


The Ferret Moon?

The Mooning Ferret!

So would you if you were a beaver.

lol


You'll have to go back when the snow melts.

 Which is odd because I am a total cu.....oops

 Not all the time.
