I just got the Amethyst curled dragon and it is gorgeous. I could probably be persuaded to add some more in that color to the collection. I love purple.
Oooooh dear. I’m going to have to add that Abyssinian to my list of ones that I’ll allow myself to bid on.
Obviously those are goshawk/Bengal gryphons – the chicks hatch with yellow eyes that darken to red by maturity. 😉

They’re called ‘Soft Paws’. They’re glue-on nail caps that come in clear or a variety of colors. Usually the colored ones are used on frou-frou dogs though, at least in my area of the country.
I raised gerbils for 15 years, so I am well aware of how well the little critters can get into your heart. It’s a shame that you had to put her to sleep, but sometimes it’s the best option.
I would keep a close eye on the other two right now. I found that trios were pretty stable, but when one died the remaining pair didn’t necessarily get on so well anymore. New toys or similar distractions are a good idea, but you might also want to try a mesh cage divider if it works for your cage – it keeps them in sight, scent and company but prevents actual arguments until they adjust to the new status quo. Good luck, and I am sorry for your loss.
Hang in there Ski! I know what you mean about rather being outbid by a lot than a little. Here’s hoping you aren’t outbid at all! 😀
I love the ‘normal colored’ hoofies, although the wings on the pinto pegasus don’t look right to me, with the colors coming out of the white shoulder – but that’s a minor quibble. (Too much time researching color patterns for my model horses, I guess.) That griff is also gorgeous, but I’d better rein it in after those two chicks I’m eyeing get put up for bids. Sigh. Too many beauties and too little money. (And I don’t DARE look too closely at the candlelamps and all, not while there are so many others I know I love!)
I am very sorry to hear that. It’s always a hard decision to make, but sounds like it was the best one.
Sigh. I got my Flat-coat with the idea of showing in obedience and agility, but the only class within an hour’s drive (one way!) had an entire 3 dogs in it (including Adam) and we already knew everything that the class did. What I need to learn is how to teach a dog to heel – other than the classic ‘yank the collar like mad’ – and the instructor didn’t know how to teach that. She just teaches how to walk politely. And then I moved to a spot that doesn’t even have anything within an hour and I’m a bit stuck. (Having a job that would pay money sort of ranked higher than staying where I could get some sort of training class but be unemployed.)
He can do all the agility stuff except the dog walk and A-frame, but I don’t dare try to teach those to a 90-pound dog without assistance!The labradoodles that I saw in my old clinic were all amiable idiots, just like most of the labs we saw. (Actually they weren’t idiots; they knew perfectly well their owners weren’t going to make them behave, so therefore they didn’t. Put a tech on the end of the leash and poof! Instant manner improvement.) Sounds like your trainer’s got her work cut out for her, but it’s good the owners are trying to do something with the dogs. Good luck with Maggie.
