Maybe the bathroom? It gets warm and steamy. If there's a happy window to place or hang them near. Maybe. I can't remember if orchids do well that way. I know bromelieds do.

He tried to be born again today. It didn't work. We're praying!!! for another December baby...oh my garsh.
Her tongue often slips out of her mouth but the teeth are finally starting to come in on the bottom so that may end soon
I thought the weight gain was excessive but I was reading on a bulldog forum and noticed someone had one only a few days older than mine that weighed 24lbs so I guess we’re on track.
Hehehe...
The baby stage goes so fast!!! I don’t think Cinder will ever outgrow her wrinkles nor will your kittens outgrow their playfulness
On my Android I just touch a post on TFO /CDR and hold until I have a shortcut on my phone. I'm still using an old shortcut I made before the app stopped working. Also I always get an alert on my phone when I get an email from TFO. It sounds like breaking ice cubes. The shortcut allows me onto my account. Maybe not fully but enough to chat...and run my big fat mouth.
I have to wear my reading glasses to read on my phone but I have to do that to read anything anyway...so I decided to get a cute pair of readers...and go with the flow.
What...
Cinder is sooo cute. Have tons of fun. Bulldogs are a breed I've always liked. Kind peaceful and just hang out with you.Her tongue often slips out of her mouth but the teeth are finally starting to come in on the bottom so that may end soon

Not enough light in our bathroom. They are staying in the dining room, plenty of light, there is just no way I'm keeping my house 80F for them. If we get some more warm days I'll take them out.
My mom gave me a cutting off her orchid cactus that she had taken 3years ago. She had put it in a small pot and stuck it in a corner of her bedroom and then forgot about it.. it is now over 3foot long and very spindled. Saddest orchid cactus ever! I'll repot it maybe the new growth will look healthier.
That’s what I was going for.... everyone always says “ puppies don’t stay puppies” but I picked her for the dog she was going to be. I did plenty of research and had a good bit of history from my grandmother. She is precious to me and while I’m not old, I have definitely outgrown going through the babies and puppy stages! Lol... I am enjoying her but I believe I will enjoy so much more in her well trained adulthood
By the way, I am praying for your impatient baby to hold out until December. Sometimes I don’t respond to every post that I want to because the mobile version is just not as easy for me and I’m almost never on my home computer.
Regarding Orchid Cactus aka Christmas Cactus , throughout the year, i pinch back a lot of the droopy spindly growth so the main branches stay nice & thick. It’s looking pretty good this year. (If i pinch a lot off, the pieces go into Sullys food dish)

I think the Christmas cactus is closely related to the orchid cactus, the orchid cactus gets much bigger though. I think they are also known as the night blooming cactus.
If anyone wants to know what they are supposed to look like just Google them but here is a pic of mine.. sitting on my washing machine (I was worried that it couldn't handle bright light yet, so I'm slowly trying to get it used to brighter light. It's already looking greener!) I was thinking that I would just wind it around the top of the soil when I repot it. Perhaps the stem will put out roots to anchor it, then new growth will grow up and out? What do y'all think?
Orchid cactus - Epiphylum:
Christmas (or easter or thanksgiving) cactus -Schlumbergera:
Two separate plants. Both come in many flower colors. The schlumbergera has types that bloom around Christmas time, or Easter, or Thanksgiving, while the orchid cactus blooms during the summer in the right conditions.

This plant has told you you're NOT going to kill it! Strong will to live!!
Aaagh - yes. Another flower opened overnight, and the first one is now fully opened. Nice having some colorful blooms inside now that it’s frosty outside.

Off soon to the local “Feed Store” to get a bale of orchard grass for Sully. I used to get small bags of timothy at WalMart, but it’s not the best & not very economical.
I usually lay a few handfuls of hay down on Sullys dinner plate, then put dandelion and mazuri and cactus pads on top. This way hay is available & consumed all the time.
Guess what our local store is called......yep “The Feed Store”. Simple enough, nothing tricky like “Ye Olde Grain & Supply Co.”
Anyhow, I’m hoping they have orchard grass & not just timothy.

Do any of you know about "Pay-per-mile" auto insurance, and if so, can you give me your opinion on if it would be good for me to look into it? I only drive into town once a week and that's about a 10 mile round trip. It takes me a couple years to go 3000 miles for my oil change.
It's hard to get good pictures of the kittens because when they see me they stop what they're doing and run over to me.
Update: Well, that shopping trip was fast & easy. After a few vegetables n things from our local Lidl store, including a nice butternut and acorn squash, we went to The Feed Store and bam! No hay bales! Nothing. Due to the Summer drought, there is very little hay about. They had some, but in very very large bales (not the humongous round ones, but too large & expensive @ $22.00]. The silver lining was that the owner did say that they get a lot of Mazuri product and can quickly get bags of their tortoise chow.
