As you may know I recently purchased 2 female sugar gliders, named Thelma & Louise. I really didn't want my girls named after the title characters in a movie about 2 sluts who at the end of the flick drive their car off the edge of a cliff. By the way, I never saw the movie. I only heard so much about the ending and my friend, Debbie told me they were sluts.
Anyway as I oft do when confronted with a dilemma I asked my best friend Gail who provided me with the names I needed. I'm a history geek and try to be as good a Christian as I can be... with mixed results!
But Gail suggested Biblical names for my wee possums. Naomi & Ruth. For the most part I still refer to them as "my wee possums" but Naomi & Ruth are their new names.
I call myself my ducks' & geese's "Quack Daddy" and Vlad & Bella (my canine kids) "Papa". I am to my lizards "Lizard Wizard or Dad" and now I am Naomi & Ruth's "Possum Papa".
Yesterday I was feeding the possums and one must have been hungry as she leapt onto the back of my hand causing me to let out a bit of a yelp and spill some vittles. No worries though as she lapped up most of the spillage. And now I know they are becoming accustomed to me they are also warming up and coming to greet me when I bring treats!
