Ok, one last coon post. I bought 30 feeder gold fish. Put 7 in a shallow container. This guy tried and tried and finally caught one and ate it. By the end of the evening he got 6 and there are 3 half eaten carcasses in the crate. I’m so proud, I raised a serial killer.

Prepare for some extreme cuteness, my little angels

They look suspiciously like the two I caught on camera last year. They picked my grape vine's clean of all fruit. They are very cute. But can be a PITA. Those grapes were sour anyway.

Been busy hope I didn't miss anything important.

Added a new royal gramma to quarantine. Also a very small Naso Tang. We did add the new clownfish to the clinics tank.

The black and white clownfish was there already. I am expecting it to transition to female.

Yeah you strike me as more of a....

Maybeline




The best cover of anything by Ac/DC is to cover it with dirt by burying it. An all AC/DC #Smorgasbordafterdark really? Did you find some old quaaludes in the drawer or something, or did you just need some context for the leather outfit that you were already wearing at 2 AM?

Just when I thought it would be ok to get some sleep and let you handle it, we get an all AC/DC version....

I feel sorry for Tom..

I'd better stay up tonight so we don't get non stop Bon Jovi or Nickleback.
Looks like you missed #Smorgasbordafterdark and I will do whatever I want, as usual.

Wow, you really let Chris have it!

I never went to sleep! You guys inspired me with that whole. "Sleep when you're dead" thing.
Since I played Mr. Berry, I was thinking 50's rock theme. Unless you have a better idea.
