Rat Blabber And Plum Trees

greenstormSo yesterday I met mom at the world's largest bannock thing at about 10am, and we hung out there for about an hour. I came home with two plum trees, they were being 'sold' by the city for $5. There's a golden and a red... erm, I'll look it up and post it later. They're going in pots out back. It was weird looking at people giving away bare-root trees and walking off with 'em.
Then mom & I went to pick up the then-unnamed Helen, whose story is at the link below with her pic. Her mum's a beautifully friendly, lively white hairless girlie, and she's very similar thus far in temperament.
Helen hung out in my shirt most of the day as we prepped the boat to take out, but the motor on the Zodiac wasn't working, so we didn't end up going out anyhow. Played tennis for a bit, mom, two brothers, and one brother's girlfriend. Brothers and brother's girlfriend went to Kung Fu Hustle and saw the cool preview for 'unleashed'. Fell asleep on the boat, was exhausted -- Helen slept in her carrier instead of beside me, cause I'm paranoid. She was really hyper before I put her to bed.
Came back this morning after grocery shopping. My, I never knew my girls could be so pissy! They're so sweet to me. I'm going to playland with Tillie, having got my season's ride pass, and I've put Helen in the carrier with the carrier /inside/ the big cage, and the girls are squeeking and hissing through it like crazy. They can't get at each other, though, so hopefully we'll have some scent mixing in the meantime.
I'm nervous leaving them alone even with that arrangement, but what can ya do? I need to toenail-clip 'em before letting them roam together again, though. Helen's been spending her time in my shirt on the bed, while the girls alternatively do other stuff and hiss/sniff suspiciously at the bulge in my shirt.
