2+2 = 4

Foehn and CB are curled up asleep inside my shirt, so I thought I'd use the time to post. Daylight Saving Time is a pain right now. Normally they awaken about 10:00 p.m. and get up to speed around 10:30 or so. Their clock hasn't changed, but ours has, and I really can't wait until 11:00 p.m. or midnight to wait for them to get into play mode. More on this in another post.

The big news is that today we added to our glider "colony". We adopted two older gliders from a family who could no longer give them the attention that they needed and wanted to find them a home where they could get that attention. M had seen a post about them in one of the glider forums. We spent a couple of days weighing the pros and cons and decided to go ahead. These gliders had been with this family for 7 yrs, and it was apparent that giving them up was very hard for the family. At first we weren't sure what we might be getting into, but after talking with the owner through email and on the phone it was clear that she cared a lot about them and was willing to do all she could to find them a good home. If all four gliders get along, taking care of four is not much different than two. So, today we drove to Bloomington to meet up with the owner and pick up the gliders. They are two sisters. We have them in their cage in a separate room for the time being to keep their stress to a minimum. We will give them a few days to settle in and become accustomed to their new surroundings. Eventually we'll start the process to introduce them to Foehn and CB and vice versa. That will take some time, and our hope is that all four will be able to live together in the same cage.

I'll have more on the new additions (and photos) in the next few days.
