Tuesday, September 2, 2025:  Ruby left/died/took off in her spaceship at 7:41pm this evening... Poor girl barely had a chance, only 9 years of age! At least she got out driving and walking with us today--It's been a gorgeous autumn day. Before she left I got a picture of her next to the big apple tree in our courtyard. :-) Bye-bye little Ruby, I'll miss you!

7:53PM:  I just hatched my Apple Sweets Gen1! Her name is Honey -- like the honey crisp apple! I will *definitely* get a picture of Honey by the apple tree tomorrow. :-) I've not decided which adult I'd like, but I will write about her progress here.

Wednesday, September 3, 2025:  Honey the marutchi has been great company! I love running a re-release Tam alongside all my vintage 1997 Nano's/GigaPet's. :-) They all watched me play more "Luigi's Mansion" on the GC earlier this afternoon. I've also been taking quite a few pictures for my webpages and social media (virtual pet and video game related). This evening I may share some TV or a movie with them.... Not sure though, kinda tired. :-P My Nano Puppy, Oliver is 27 today and will likely be departing tomorrow....I decided to start up my clear orange Nano Kitty to continue on with my Nano saga. :-) I still need to get the Nano Baby and Turtle for my collection, and then I'll have them all. I've slowly been working on a page for my Nano's, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to posting it....!

Sunday, September 7, 2025:  Ozzy, my Bitty Kitty died at the age of 40 7:00AM today. I lost track of time yesterday and his health fell below 95. I was unable to get it above 90 before bedtime so I knew he'd be gone by daybreak. GigaPet's health is a tricky thing! I very much enjoy GigaPet's, but they take more dedication than a Tamagotchi. I'm going to wait a while before I raise another GigaPet -- maybe next month! I still have my two Nano's, Oliver and Kitty, as well as Honey (Apple Sweets Gen1) to contend with. I'll miss you little Ozzy! I hope you enjoyed your time here!

Monday, September 8, 2025:  Honey changed into a ginjirotchi at 4:20PM this afternoon! :-) Yay! Something interesting happened as she changed - since it was 20 minutes after the hour, she also called for discipline at the same moment she changed (anyone farmiliar with re-release Tams know that they always call for discipline at 20 mins after the hour), so I had to scold her immediately upon changing! This evening she's been getting to watch "Five Nights At Freddy's" (2021) - the first of many scary movies for the season. Oh yes, on a seasonal topic, Honey got out for a walk with us today, and also got to peak out at Bath & Body Works while I was sniffing fall scented candles. :-) 

Wednesday, September 10, 2025:  I missed having a GigaPet around since Ozzy passed away a few days ago, so my Baby T-Rex was born at 5:21PM this evening. I've named him Tiny and made a page dedicated to him. :-) I'm up to running 4 virtual pets again now.... I just couldn't help myself! :-) I'll write more soon--gotta finish updating the Baby T-Rex page. Tomorrow I plan to work more on the Nano Puppy and Kitty page!

Thursday, September 11, 2025:  I forgot to mention that Honey got out for a walk with us yesterday afternoon and got to see several honey-bee's collecting pollen and nectar before autumn. :-) It has been raining *all* day. Today also marks the 35th day of Oliver, my Nano Puppy being here. I hope Kitty makes it that long! I'm so glad to have made it this far without any reset issues. They've all been great company today while I work on my Nano webpage. :-) They've also gotten to watch a lot of YouTube and TV!

Saturday, September 13, 2025:  Oliver, my Nano Puppy of 37 days had already passed away when I woke up just shortly before 9am this morning.... There was no ending, except the little curtains on the screen signaling it was game over. I hope I am fortunate enough to have my Nano Kitty stay this long! And speaking of Kitty, he grew again yesterday. :-) I'm down to a very comfortable number of 3 virtual pets running now: Honey the Ginji (Apple Sweets), Nano Kitty, and Tiny, my Baby T.Rex GigaPet! I am doing a *major* revamp of my webpages! I will be *busy* prettifying things over the coming weeks and months! :-D I'm taking a small break to watch an episode of "The Facts of Life" (season 1) which we began watching last night. Such a cute show! Honey is the only one awake for this as it's 9:49PM! Bedtime soon!

Sunday, September 14, 2025:  The vpets got to watch the (rather boring) movie "Elizabethtown" (2005) with us this afternoon. I had high hopes for this one since it had Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst in it. It was also *really* long.. After that we went to Mom's for some chili and corn chips! This evening we've been watching some more episodes of "The Facts of Life" (season 1 still). Watching the girls save the bunnies from the flood was *so* cute in episode 9! :-) Off I go to brainstorm on more ideas for my pages.... :-D Then off for an early bedtime! Tiny, my Baby T.Rex GigaPet will likely be fully grown by tomorrow morning!

Monday, September 15, 2025:  Tiny, my GigaPet T-Rex changed forms twice today! I've documented his progress over on the Baby T-Rex Page. My Nano Kitty turned 12 today but she has not reached full maturity (yet)! Then we have Honey, my ginjirotchi, the old maid of the group at 14 years! Oh yes also, I've been pausing Honey here and there so she stays longer. I like to cheat sometimes, esepcially since the ginjirotchi don't live long like mametchi/mimitchi on the re-release. This afternoon we've been watching one of our favourite Canadian movies, "Mambo Italiano" (2003)! :-) Angelo's sister, Anna is my favourite character! It also stars one of our own here in Newfoundland, Actor Mary Walsh. (click the picture at left to see full cast)

Thursday, September 18, 2025:  Honey, my ginjirotchi of 17 years is dropping hearts faster now in her old age. I've been pausing her periodically over the last few days for ginji's sanity. :-) In other news, my Nano Kitty grew/matured again yesterday! :-D I've been documenting her latest development over on the Nano Page which is currently a work-in-progress/under construction, heh (I will include my Nano Baby and Dino when I raise them)! Off I go for now. I'm having some anxiety and need to distract myself with something besides virtual pets.... I've been watching YouTube videos about html and coding! Very interesting stuff. :-)

Sunday, September 21, 2025:  I went on a small road trip yesterday with my Mom and Matthew to Northern Bay Sands (just for the day)! I paused Honey as s/he's gotten very demanding at her 20 years of age! Tiny and Kitty both fared well during the day! ::Phew:: I was really tired when we got home... I really don't enjoy travelling at all, even if it's just a couple of hours outside the city.... I much prefer to be here at home where I'm safe. :-) I don't have any plans to go out again anytime soon. Kitty just turned 18 years old an hour ago and the "Happy Birthday" tune played! So cute! I hope she lives as long as Oliver did! Oh yes, they've gotten quite a bit of TV watching in with us, along with long hours of watching me work on my webpages. :-)

5:58PM:  Heh, I just hatched my black & purple Devilgotch at 5:18PM, and I've named him Elm. He is currently a Debru-Zukitchi who I've always found very fun and amusing. I wasn't planning on running my Devilgotch this year, what with being busy raising vintage GigaPet's and Nano's.... It's very fitting that he was born on the first day of autumn! If memory serves me correct he will be going to bed at 9:00PM which is right on schedule with the rest of my vpets, and most of all, me! I've been going to bed early lately and finding I need more rest. Maybe tomorrow they will get out for a little drive or a walk with me. :-) This evening they are re-watching the movie "The Crush" (1993) with me, staring a very young Alicia Silverstone as the leading role!

Monday, September 22, 2025:  Honey left/died/went back to hir home planet this afternoon, 3:54PM at 21 years. I took hir with us for a walk up the trail earlier and s/he saw the lovely autumn leaves falling, the warmth of the sun, and the trickling of the river... Very nice scenery today! I guess that big blue sky was very inviting..... :-) I'll miss you little Honey! I'm not going to hatch anymore re-release Tams for the time being as I have my hands full with Kitty, Tiny, and Elm (my newly hatched Devilgotch).... This evening we've been watching "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" on Netflix! It's a really scary show, but we've been ejoying it. Later on we are going to watch something more happy like "The Facts of Life". :-) I don't want to have nightmares!

Tuesday, September 23, 2025:  We watched the last three episodes of "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" on Netflix this evening. I'm glad they kept them in prison--but that's just my opinion. I want to take a break from watching true crime stuff for a little while now. Let me tell you about Elm, my Devilgotch. He's still a devil-Zukitchi and I'm keeping his DP (devil power) low. There is a chance I may be able to get the one final character I am missing on Devilgotch, the secret character - King Deviltchi! It would be nice to complete getting all the characters since I can't predict the future, and I don't know if my 90's Tams will stand the test of time. My other Devilgotch has reset issues, and this one has an LCD leak in the top right of the screen.... Ugh. If I end up getting Debrudori, the little bird character, then I would have a chance at getting King Deviltchi. Time will tell! I'm glad I decided to raise one this autumn season. :-) I'd planned on dedicating the rest of this year to GigaPet's and Nano's, but there was no harm in throwing Devilgotch into the mix. ;-)

Thursday, September 25, 2025:  Elm changed into a Bakedebirutchi (ghost deviltchi) early this morning! I'm keeping his DP in the high range, just under 90! I really want the pumpkin head character. :-) As for my non Bandai vpets, Tiny my GigaPet T-Rex and Nano Kitty are doing just fine at age 15 and 22. This afternoon/evening we watched the movie "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle"! Woah! I can't believe I never saw this one before....Very suitable for autumn! The ending was good too! Now we are watching an episode of "The Facts of Life" (season 4) -- much more suitable for bedtime viewing. On the live pet front, we welcomed a new Hamster into our household this past week. We've named her Shelly and she's incredibly adorable. I've gotten to thinking about it, and I've decided I am going to make a brand new section on my site dedicated to our past and present Hamsters! :-D I think I am going to wait until the New Year to start this project, but I'm making mental notes in my head of how I want it to look....! Here's a photo of our little Shelly to get things started. :-)

Saturday, September 27, 2025:  Kitty turned 24 this afternoon! :-) We've been playing a lot of "Mario Tennis Open" on the 3DS the last two days! I'm debating if I want to play "Mario Tennis Aces" for the switch...!

Sunday, September 28, 2025:  This morning I woke up early again which is always of great benefit to my virtual pets. I was holding Binks up to the window so he could see the birds. It's been a gorgeous autumn day so I had the patio door open for him. :-) Very peaceful all around. This afternoon we played "Mario Tennis" for N64 online--so much fun with the N64 controller! This evening I've begun work on my Autumn Page!

Tuesday, September 30, 2025:  Tiny turned 20 years old this morning! So long as I keep his health above 95 he will be okay. Kitty will be turning 27 later this afternoon! Last of all, Elm, my Devilgotch changed into his final stage at 10:21AM to be none other than Pumpkin deviltchi! :-) Yay! Just in time for Oct.1st tomorrow! I got all my laundry done today, and played "Mario Tennis" in between! Now I just have to get through a dreaded dental appointment on Thursday morning, followed by a much needed check-in with my psychiatrist in the afternoon.
