Bobby has been behaving strangely this past week. He hasn't been as active as he usually is, and he's been unusually sleepy. Today I kept checking on him because I just felt something was weird. His breathing seemed very very odd. So I called the vet's emergency number, and I was lucky enough that he hadn't gone out of town for the holiday yet. My mom and I rushed him over because he was just so lathargic all of a sudden. At the vets, Dr. Kramer did an x-ray and we saw that he had a ton of fluid in his chest and abdomen cavities. He spend about an hour draining the fluids and said that this was a sign of lymphoma or heart disease. He's going to send the fluid off to the labs to check for cancer cells (but its going to take a while to get the results because of the holiday). If its lymphoma, he might have about a week or so left. If its heart disease, a few more months. Dr. Kramer gave me a diaretic to give Bobby every 8 hrs or so that his body can pee out the fluids before he just retains it and hopefully he'll make it through the weekend. He has an appt on Wednesday to see what's best for Bobby after some tests are down and if we should put him down.

Right now he's in the cage resting and groggy from anestheia, but his breathing is much better. I love him so much, I just don't want him to suffer. I wish there was more I could do for him, but the vet said this is common in older ferrets. 5 years doesn't seem very old to me, but he's practically a grandpa in ferret years. I have to remember that... :(

Thanks Mr. Myth!

I actually updated my Potterfanart100! :O

Happy Christmas!

I got a cool new pixel Candi fanart from Tanukitsune! He has a bunch of cute pixel animations for other webcomics at his deviantart site, if you'd like to check it out.

New Donation Wallpapers up for December. I haven't made new ones in a while because of time issues, but I finally got a chance to make up for it. The first is Candi the Mermaid with Menjou the Mer-ferret. The second, Laura as a Succubus. And last but not least, a happy floating Menjou. If you'd like to have these wallpapers, all you have to do is donate as little as dollar and you can you choose from these size wallpapers: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x854, 1280x854, 1280x1024, 1600x1200 and a 1680x1050 mac friendly version. Links are on the left side of the page. :)

The donations for this wallpapers will go toward Bobby's vet bills who is doing much better since his stitches have been removed. Thanks for the support!!

So I've been getting a ton of emails about the "St. Maaaaaarten" thing. A lot. Most people saying, "I don't get it." Sooooo, I guess the joke fell flat. >_> Oops. Well, ya win some and ya lose some. And I know explaining jokes totally ruins the point, but I'm going to do it anyway. A few of my friends growing up (1 in particular) likes to tease me about the way St. Maarten has an extra "a" in it. So, he would over exaggerate the sound. Thus, St. Maaaaaaaaarten. In the comic, when Jon does it, Candi is mildly annoyed just because she knows he's just playing around. But when Chris does it, because she doesn't like him, it pisses her off. Chris knows this, likes to provoke her, and gets the kids to do it too. That's it. Nothing more to it. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, if anyone is looking to go on a Caribbean vacation, I highly recommend going to St.Maarten. It's pretty and awesome. And just all around cool. I'm even distantly related to the guy the pier is named after.
