Fail

Since I last blogged Tate also adopted a Guinea Pig named Reese. He now takes up residence along with Taylor (King Snake) and Phoebie (Hedgehog).

That said, let me now share what will be the talk of Petco for the next week.

While off work this evening, Bryan got a call from a co-worker about a cute girl who was in the store inquiring about hedgehogs. So we three made a trip over, Bryan bringing Phoebie along after waking her up. We get there and one of Bryan's co-workers immediately brings her over and sends them off so to talk about hedgehogs. She took an immediate liking to Bryan. Tate and I meanwhile kept ourselves busy. One of the co-workers shortly after went up and recommended exchanging phone numbers. The girl was all for it, Bryan awkwardly shrugged.

Bryan finished counseling her on the purchase of a cage, exercise wheel, and cat food. Bryan carried the cage out for her, and she departed. No phone number obtained. Petco Coworkers began their field day.

Bryan did leave with a phone number, but it was that of Aaron's, one of his coworkers.

Only Bryan.

P.S. Sorry Phoebie that you didn't get to befriend the other hedgehog either.

*Editor's Note: We do not support the picking up of random girls, nor do we believe it should be a game. But we do encourage friendship. Hope you enjoyed this mostly satirical post.

Jellyfish, Bath time, and Taylor

Recently it was Bryan's b-day so to celebrate, Tate and I threw him a surprise B-day party. We enlisted the help of some friends to set up the party while we kept him distracted at Cookout. For decorations our friends put up streamers, Christmas lights and hung Jellyfish around the Apt that Tate and I made earlier that day using yarn, plastic bags, and paper plates. Most of the Jellies are still hanging up, although the plates have separated from the rest of the body. We're planning to glue some of them back and keep them up as decor.

Phoebe usually gets a bath once a week, her cage also gets cleaned, including her exercise wheel. Last week Bryan used some of my body wash to give Phoebe a great scent, for at least a few hours til her own bodily functions kicked in again.

Also last week, Bryan adopted a 50/50 king snake. He found it through Craigslist while helping Tate post his PS3. He got the snake and cage for a great price. Taylor is called 50/50 because her stripes are thick enough that she's half black and half off white. She's still getting used to people, but you can hold her in your hand, just don't mess with her head too much. King snakes also aren't poisonous so she's not deadly.

I may change the name of the blog to "Two guys, a hedgehog and a..." to further accommodate Taylor and any other future pets, but I'm going to keep the URL the same. If I do make the change, it'll be seamless where you don't even notice if you keep reading.
