Colorado, Nevada (where we got the mobile-den), and now Oregon. Still searching but, somehow getting used to it and getting cozy in this nomad way of living.... until a new guest showed up!
One of my humans, Madir, can't help herself with rescuing needy-ones.... we were happily hiking when Nigama saw this , pink ugly thingy trying to crawl, by the side of the trail. Sure enough when Madir sees it she went bonkers :' Oh my, poor thingy! We need to find his nest... Oh! Look one of his siblings already died!!! We got to do something fast!" Next to the ugly thingy was another motionless ugly thingy covered with ants.
Couldn't find the nest, the sun is starting to set...sure enough Madir brings the ugly thingy to the den...
For the next week Madir is full on occupied with the ugly thingy. Feeding it every couple of hours, waking up at 4 am to feed him, and heating up hot water bottles to keep him warm, and on and on..... and hikes got cut short 'cause was almost time to feed the thingy....and at times almost forgetting to feed me!
The ugly-thingy started to get noisier and noisier! Louder and louder when hungry.... honestly I could'n't stand him anymore!!!
Before I knew they are trying to introduce the a-bit-less-ugly-now thingy, that by now they adore and named Lil' Lucio, to me, and I to... it. Well, you can get an idea of my feelings about it from the pic. no need to say a word about it.......
Always hungry!
and always there!
