I stayed up a bit late (for me) and watched a John Wayne movie that I hadn't seen before - The Undefeated, a 1969 movie. It was pretty darned good. I'm sorry to say, though, that all I could keep thinking, every time I saw co-star Rock Hudson in a scene, was, "I can't believe he was gay." I'm not a homophobe, but that darned thought came unbidden all the time. It was a very good movie. Can you imagine, in real life, guiding over 3000 horses through the country side and keep them all going in the right direction?

So I went to bed at 11:30p and was almost asleep at midnight. I snapped out of it to hear many, many fireworks or gunshots going off in the distance. I live in the country. Where in the heck was all that happening? Oh well. . . I went right back to sleep and Misty slept through the night with no wake ups to be taken outside for a potty break!!

Happy New Year, Yvonne. :<3:

You've all been too busy to notice judging by the number of pages I have to read up on.
I think I'll work back through them rather than try to start from where I was last here.
You will find plenty of mentions of you, particularly before you posted to say you were okay.
Lots of people were worrying about you.

it's ok :), how is lola??
Glad to hear you're not suffering.
Lola is OK but I'm still keeping an eye on him.
He hasn't had a poop for 3 weeks - that's the longest ever.
He is eating well and up and about but in spite of trying all the suggested remedies on the forum
i.e.cucumber, aloe, squash, longer and deeper warm soaks than usual and a nice long trip in the car - nothing!:(
Wondering about trying a tiny drop of syrup of figs. They don't sell mineral water (liquid paraffin) in UK anymore.
Any ideas?

How are fido and the degus?

That's very kind of people to worry.
It is strange I suppose when a regular suddenly disappears.
Anyone heard from Meech?
The last time I popped in she was missing too.

Sounds mean, but a nice warm soak in an unfamiliar high sided container and leave him until he panics.

It's just Lola had been a bit off, and then there's your lovable neighbours.
But we thought it might be your naughty computer.
Meech has moved on in her life, I think, not been around for many months.
And Gillian has vanished, too.
We do worry.

Vet thought it was just seasonal behaviour but to go back if I was still worried.
The exotics vet not working until this week and only does 2 days between 10 -12 am.
I'm back in work so not easy.
Happy new year Lyn. Good to see round.

Bea's mud turtle, Jacques, has turned out to be female but looks like joining Lola in the name-doesn't-match-gender club :)

i wonder if feeding a 'bad food' might work, essentially trying to give him the runs?
