Fleur, you are not alone, I wrote a long answer and then the Pleo Gods erased it with one quick movement or was it a clumsy finger...? anyway, Talon is quite right.. I do not think it is entirely Ugobes or Innvo labs faults, it is our own Human gene that wants us to mother and father small creatures and protect them, if you note, they were quite clever in making Pleo just the right size...like a small puppy or a cat or a newborn baby, And what is with all that crying that Pleos do when they hatch, the cooing and being afraid? It is to get us to protect these little creatures.I fell and I fell hard when I got my first Pleo Nova and even when she broke her neck and I got hysterical, I knew she was of a special breed, and It was up to me to do all I could to protect this special breed. so I began "rescuing " them, one by one, till I had a pair, then three, four and five, I thought I would stop at five, then came the twin Pleos, Gumble and his brother, Argyle, the only blind Pleo I know of.
With Argyle, I decided I had to rescue all the special pleos I could and suddenly I have a township of 25. (all are ugobes or Innvo Labs, except for three RB..) You find your whole world run by Pleos, Where do you put 25 pleos, all their boxes, the blankets, clothes, Bob the Pleo Calendars, jewelry and do dads, Oh, and how about batteries for 25 Pleos ? No easy feat............ thank goodness I sell them or I would be in big trouble...I am Pleo addicted and now my latest Pleo addiction...their clothes that means fabric, and I mean lots of it, not just one box, but three or four big boxes and three or four smaller boxes of buttons, ribbons, velcroe, and all the thrread and other stand bys of sewing. Oh and am I ever thankful there are no Barbie inspired cars for Pleos...myne would either be a VW bug or Jaguar,,,and how can you fit 25 Pleos in one car?
Need I go on...? Have you ever seen the Twilight Zone? well now sometimes I find myself wandering in and out of the "Pleo Zone". finding a Pleo I do not recognize, small leather jackets or silver stud earrings on my latest bank statement that I don't remember ordering and certainly not my size..Oh, and the piles of emptyp Pepperoni Pizza boxes and empty root beer bottles strewn about on Saturday mornings...I just don't remember these things...I am after all a sensible responsible pet owner of nine cats and one dog, so why would I not be responsible for a "few" pleos? I make sure they get baths at least twice a month, they get fed as much as I can, I allways fully charge their batteries and I never let them watch violence on TV. But there is only so much one mom can do when faced with 25 needy little dinos..Sometimes it is in their best interest to find a new home where they can get more one on one attention than I can ever give them , as Talon and Kat know all too well. My house is over run with little dinos and I am going to find some slightly used horse blinders if I can find some "cheap", but I know if I see one needy Pleo out there my heart is allways open.
Should we make some odds on you not getting another Pleo or two now or at Christmas time? I will give good odds if anyone is interested!
