Glad the vet visit went ok, now let's hope another week in the hospital fixes whatever is ailing poor Jacques.

Good morning to you all. Well, most of you are already into the Good Afternoon section of the day. I'm still bumbling around trying to get out of learning how to use my new carpet shampooer. Hopefully I'll get 'er done today.

I think so too. So please tell the lottery man that I need to win big.

Me too! Me too!

Well, I used the carpet cleaning machine. I only did half the living room (the furniture was piled up on the other half). You should see the dirty water. Just one person, one dog and two cats living here, and that section of carpet was SO dirty!!!!! After the initial cleaning, I rinsed out the machine and put clean water into it and went back over the carpet. STILL DIRTY WATER COMING OUT!!!! But that's all the house work I have in me for the day. It will have to stay like it is. I bought a Hoover brand. What powerful suction this machine has. I think it was money well spent.

Glad it went OK. My physio is also a qualified osteopath... and she uses both on me.

I don’t know much about chiropractic, but it seems rougher; it might be worth looking at osteopathy?

Just read up on osteopathy. It does seem to be worth looking at.

If in doubt, ask Google [emoji849]

Thats what I read as well. It does sound quite good.

 

[CarolM]

I’m not! Waiting impatiently.

Whahaha.

 

[CarolM]

I’m not! Waiting impatiently.

Didn't your Mommy ever tell you that good things come to those who wait?

Daughter is out doing voluntary work with dormice today. They’re in torpor - sort of semi hibernation. The second one was curled up in an old bird’s nest.

I have never seen brown eggs that dark a brown. Our chicken eggs are more of a light brown colour.

Yesterday, when I took Jacques to the specialty vet, I brought Elsa too, for her first appointment and wellness check.

I was expecting lots of poop, so I put layers and layers of newspaper in a big plastic tub to take her there. I'm SO GLAD I did!!
She pooped on the way there, so the tech used that sample to check for parasites. (NO parasites!!! YAY!!!) She pooped again while we were waiting for the doctor, and I rolled up that paper and gave it to them to throw away eek: LAWDY, tortoise poop STINKS!!!! ). She pooped AGAIN as the doc was examining her; and the doc held her over the sink and ran warm water on her booty to stimulate her to finish pooping.
The doc examined Elsa and thought she looked really healthy and good! She was especially complimentary about Elsa's CARAPACE and said it looked really great! I attribute that to what I have learned on this forum!!!!
It was also interesting that the vet said they never see Hermann's tortoises! They see a lot of Russians, Greeks and Sulcatas but not Hermann's. When I told my hubby, he observed that those are the species sold most often in the pet stores!!! Makes sense!

I was dreading the 45 minute drive home, expecting to smell tortoise poop the whole way, but Elsa must have emptied her gut pretty well, because there was no more poop!

Have I missed a few posts. I didn't know you had a tortoise named Elsa? And well done Elsa on a clean bill of health.

Sooo cute!

DOUBLE SNAP.

Modesty Not everyone can take the photos you did.

I agree. They are good photos.
