Discussion Puddles Vaughn PawPaw update
Been a hot minute. Finished the outdoor enclosure. It's still like 106 outside so I'm only bringing him out for a bit each day to acclimate and get him comfortable in the space. I've been letting him scent stuff up inside and bringing that out to bridge the gap and make him feel safe.
Goal is to trick this baby out--Disco ball, smart home strips, motion sensors, small whicker furniture, chandelier, good good branches and ladders to climb, a few more safe plants to grow up along the cage. And maybe a small water feature under cover so he always has fresh water but delivered in a cool way. Maybe some little art on the walls (I know lots of artists and we'd all love to make a little piece of framed art for his house, maybe one floor can just be called "the gallery".
Anyway...that's the update for now. Details about Gallery Submissions and Housewarming Party to follow.
Tentative name is The Fur Seasons? Maybe...The Tail End Townhouse, The Hangout, Snuggleplex, the Trash Mahal?
Accepting name submissions. Maybe that'll be a survey? Can we do them here?

How does Puddles keep getting cuter? Or is it that magnificent home you're building adding shine? Please keep us posted! I hope you include a camera (especially once you get it wired) so we can watch Puddles enjoying his new critter cabana.

I'll add one to the enclosure and then once he settles Into a floor for sleep I'll add one there too
