Mallory just couldn’t seem to eat. Between Grub stealing her food out of her hands, Perry distracting her and the lift capturing everyone and taking them for rides, Mallory just got hungrier and hungrier. I got sick of waiting for all the other creatures to move or leave her alone and did something not usually like me. I exported her and reimported her. This put her in the house but the girl was still stubborn about eating. It wasn’t until after she pushed the spinning top a few times that she would finally eat.
With her health finally recovering, I decided to hatch an egg. This time, one of the eggs I kept below the garden. This time, the baby would be male, which would give the older boys some competition. This little male would be younger than all the females and boy was he cute. I decided to name him Hoss.
Of course, not one to be forgotten, Peony became pregnant as soon as I started Hoss’ lessons. I decided to leave her on her own since she started her pregnancy with very high health and Hoss was nearly through with his lessons anyway. He was fed, given a toy, and I tried to lull him to sleep.
Finally, I could make time for Peony, who was at the very end of her pregnancy. A short trip below the ocean had her back below the Grendel tree. She began to starve but a toy and a carrot seemed to have pushed her health back up a bit. I was worried because she hadn’t yet laid her egg, but her improving health had me optimistic again. And it seemed she had that carrot just in time, too! Beside surviving to have her egg, she was also startin to recover just after pregnancy, which isn’t typical. Unfortunately, she also laid down to nap right in front of her egg, preventing me from scooping it up right away. Oh well. I can come back.
