So. I don't know if you all got me a Christmas present yet (or were planning on it) but I say don't do it.

Here's the thing:

Rachel and Nick are currently accepting donations toward the purchase of a sugar glider. Sugar gliders alone cost $250 but we'd also need a cage and food for it.

If you have a bird cage lying around (I don't know how many of you had birds) that could work as a cage. We could even pay you if your parents don't want to give it away.

Also, I don't know if any of you are the sewing type, but to bond with a sugar glider (and also to give them something to sleep in) you give them a "pouch." Made of FLEECE. Apparently, that's important. Comme ca. (Pretend that c has a cedilla on it, mmkay?) Basically, it's a bag with a string on it. You hang it in/on their cage and the glider sleeps in it during the day. Then you take the pouch out and put it around your neck and (eventually) it'll come out and play. It's a bonding thing, since sugar gliders are like kangaroos or any of those pouch baby animals.

Nick mentioned that upon donating money or resources, one would have the opportunity to [help] name the sugar glider. You'll have to ask him if that offer still stands.




In other news, tomorrow and Saturday I will either be shopping or babysitting or participating in events you are not privy to so I shall not be able to "hang out" with anyone. However, next week I can work whenever I feel like it so if anyone wants to do anything, I'm game.

I love you all.

P.S. I know a whole lot about sugar gliders (I was totally obsessed with them for two or three years) so if you have any questions, direct them to me or Nick. Thanks.
