50 hour mark!

Today I passed the 50 hour mark for volunteering, yay! I didn't do all that much today and mainly socialized with the feral cats to help speed up their adoptions.

However, I did begin my day with the bobs as usual.

First, I went to help with Val, Sal and Harley. Val and Sal hid as usual, an Harley held his typical position in the tree.



 I then went into Girlfriend, Reggie and Rudy's run. All of the bob's were very anxious today since the gardeners were mowing near their enclosure, which made for an even worse time for Rudy since he's the most easily frightened. He hid behind Reggie on the shelf the entire time I was in there, only peaking out to snarl at me.



Girlfriend sat on the opposite shelf watching over everyone, occasionally snarling at her neighbors through the fence!



I then moved on to Cleo, Raul and Pepperbelly's run. Raul was on the move today, sitting toward the front of the enclosure trying to escape, his usual.





Cleo decided to ignore me all together and slept in the corner.



 Pepperbelly was watching me as she sunbathed herself and conversed with Awesome through the fence.



Awesome was prancing around the run once I got to them, but quickly retreated back to hold her protective guard over Bobo and Peanut. She and Peanut must have been having a disagreement though, because they were batting at each other for a few minutes until I distracted them with treats!






Cinnamon and Ramon were sitting on their opposite shelves taking turns hissing and batting at me today while I cleaned the crates underneath the shelves. Ramon is a bit more sneaky than Cinnamon so you have to be careful not to let your guard down or he will run up behind you and knock you down!




Lastly, I was with Achmed and Kruger. They were very concerned by the mowers and therefore acted differently than their usual. Kruger stayed up in the corner on his shelf rather than coming to say hi like usual. Whereas Achmed was pacing back and forth and seemed very uneasy about the whole situation. He wouldn't even play with the water!





Speaking of water, here is the video from last week of Achmed playing with the hose!

As I went to take the food bowls to get clean I passed by Chewy. He is slowly getting more and more comfortable in his new enclosure and is starting to come up to us again!




All in all, it was a typical fun filled day at the FFA!
