sabotabbySo a woman I vaguely know through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_axel and the_siobhan and the Toronto goth scene in general was turning 40, and decided to throw herself the ULTIMATE BIRTHDAY PARTY of all time by renting a space in a community centre and booking Hands On Exotics for three hours to bring ALL THE ANIMALS. This is the most brilliant thing anyone has ever done. They apparently asked how many children would be in attendance. The answer was no children would be in attendance. Just a lot of goths who are all secretly 5 years old. It was the best party.
Fun fact: Kangaroos like to eat shoelaces. There were many people in attendance with tall boots. The kangaroo was in kangaroo heaven.
The problem with petting an owl is that the rest of your life is pretty much going to be downhill unless you find a dragon somehow.
This chicken looks like Cthulhu and feels like clouds.
It's a fox! Who was rescued from a fur farm. Petting a fox was about equivalent in happy-making to petting an owl.
This is a glass lizard. I was paranoid when holding it because apparently if you drop them, they break into four pieces.
The porcupine really, really liked me and kept wanting to come over to me and lick my hand. I think I have found my new spirit animal.
Opossum! They are very cute. The rescue guy was of the opinion that they make better pets than hamsters.
This sugar glider is trained to jump on people. Unfortunately, sugar gliders are about the worst pets because they make noise when you're sleeping and cover themselves in urine because they think it's sexy.
Things about kangaroos:
• They like to be hugged.
• Their fur feels like velvet. Imagine a Russian Blue cat, but huge.
• This one fucking KISSED MY NOSE.
This lemur is stoked to eat Cheerios.
This animal is called a coati and roots for things in holes. She has gone to puppy school and knows how to do tricks. Apparently pockets count as holes so you can't have her in your lap or she will find Kleenex in your pocket and be compelled to fight you to the death for it. There is only one man she respects.
Monitor. They eat crocodile eggs, making them among the more badass lizards.
This tortoise kept trying to escape, but very slowly. Then it fell asleep in the pile of backpacks.
ETA: Cool, the FB tagging is happening, so here I am helping to hold up a ginormous python.
Because nothing could top this, we then went to the Bristol for curry and beer. I didn't have the ghost pepper curry this time, though I was strongly tempted. After that, we went tojackspryte's Yule celebration and welcomed the sun.
Today I woke up with a brutal hangover and was like, "was there a kangaroo? Or did I imagine that?" But fortunately these pictures are on my camera so I know that yes, there was a kangaroo.
So how was your day?
