The Sugar Bear Formerly Known as Hobbes...

After the Cracker incident, it scared me enough to take Hobbes (our sugar glider) to the vet to get a thorough once-over, and a much-needed nail clipping. I was bracing myself for diagnosis like "Ma'am, you have a demented sugar glider!" or "It's a man-eating beast and can be harmful to your children!" or worse yet, "It's going to need a constant diet of live birds from now on." Oh my anxieties!

Well I took him, finally, Friday. The vet was extremely nice and seemed competent, until she told me "Well, Hobbes, is a SHE."

...

Me: What?

She showed me the pouch and everything. Doh!

So now, I can legitimately rename Hobbes. (I was never too crazy about the name. shhh...) Presenting... Coco!
