I’ve had my two boys, Marley & Duma for about 3 months now & they have been such a joy to have around. I love watching them explore their cage when I add something new & hide treats for them. I also try to let them out as much as possible to give their little legs some exercise. If you are considering having a glider as a pet, I recommend getting two. One can get very lonely and depressed and many have died from being so lonely. My two boys have bonded so closely and loooove playing together. Please e-mail me if any of you ever have any questions!

This is my third day on the patch & smoke free. If you can do it…buy the patches. They have helped me a great deal with cravings. I’m feeling good so far. I actually jogged last night! I can’t believe it. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t panting constantly but I freakin jogged! My advice is to have a goal…
Think of something you REALLY want to do in your life, but can’t do it if you are a smoker. For example, I want to volunteer @ a primate sanctuary but they won’t accept smokers. That was enough reason for me to say goodbye. Also, write a goodbye letter to cigarettes. Yeah, I know it sounds silly, but it helped.
For example:
Dear cigarettes,
You suck. You effected my life & health in the worst ways…blah, blah, blah.
I am praying that I can keep this up. I have told myself that I AM a quitter & I am not giving up on this!!!
To meet such a wonderful, gentle, smart animal! I have no doubt that meeting Koko would leave a lasting impression on my life. If you haven’t seen the video of Koko & her kitten…you must! It is the sweetest thing I have ever seen and it will truly touch your heart.
