wombat won't be going vegan (at least not while we live at this house). she will be "freegan" though. the landlords keep bringing over gigantic bones for her (very sweet of them). wombat loves them so we freeze them and give them to her sometimes when we leave her at home alone. zac gave her a massive one on his birthday while he went out for the day. he thought she must have buried it but now we think she ate the whole thing. all evening she was panting. we thought it was a bit weird cuz it wasn't that hot (it was in the upper 20s and humid though) and we thought maybe she was just excited that people were at her house. i went to bed early. she layed in the room panting and wouldn't stop. she kept getting up and moving around every few minutes even though it was way past her usual bedtime. we tried wetting her down, putting the evapourative cooler on her..... nothing worked. we realized her stomach looked pretty bloated and she went outside for a few poops. poor thing over indulged on her bone. i made her some peppermint tea and we let her sleep on the bed. she finally settled and we all got to sleep around 3am i think. i was exhausted at work yesterday! plus friday afternoon the other room doesn't have children in it and all the other staff went home (including the director) so it was just me and my co-worker (our 3rd person couldn't make it in either). we only had 20 kids but it felt like a lot more. i was glad for the day to end. we'll be careful about how much bone wombi gets at one time now (not sure how we're gonna cut up gigantic bones though).
