Mango running amok

Not sure what spooked Mango last night but he dashed back and forth among several spots in the living room for close to 5 minutes. Smelly and i were both completely amazed and were laughing our asses off.

Mango’s first day and night home
July 20th, 2008 by ktula
Yesterday was a big day. It was the day that i had been waiting for a very long time. Yesterday was the day when Smelly and i picked up our Shiba Inu puppy Mango from our breeder Leslie Engen.
We arrived slightly before 1000 at Leslie’s beautiful home, earlier than usual because we had a noon appointment with a well-known dog trainer Diane Rich. On arrival, we were greeted by Leslie’s Japanese Akita Kai and her Leonberger Hef.
Kai - the Akita from Japan.
The Leoberger and the Akita.
We played with Mango and her two other remaining litter mate.

After signing the contract and listening to some advices given by Leslie, she gave us some toys and some treats for Mango, including a stuffed toy with KD’s (Mango’s mom) scent.
Mango, as expected, threw up in his crate while on our way back home in his first journey in a car. The first thing we did on arrival at home with Diane, was to take Mango to the backyard. After some hesitation, Mango peed near edge of the paved rock and Rosemary bushes. He then found a hiding spot behind the stone Lion statue.
Mango found a shady spot under the patio umbrella.
Mango spent most of the late afternoon napping.

The spiders you see running around in your house this time of the year, chances are good that they are male spiders seeking mates. And i thought i knew a thing or two more than others about spiders since i have a few pet spiders of my own, but this “Spider Myths Site” proved that there are still quite a bit about spiders that i do not know.

ktulu hurt!
April 29th, 2005 by ktula
ktulu bleeding from the puncture wound in her abdomen. I found ktulu in hachiko’s side of the cage in the morning. By the time i urged her back to her side of the cage, it was already too late. Apparently, she had been bitten by hachiko. I am quite concerned about ktulu now. Not sure what kind of effect the venom will have on her. Early this year, i lost bumbee due to her failed molting process. Hopefully, ktulu will not end up like bumbee…

One of my pet tarantulas, Ktulu, molted. I captured her molting process with my camera. Here are the pictures. I have also created a quicktime slideshow (2.7meg) if you are too lazy to click through the pictures.
