Well I have finally caught up. Lots going on, in the CDR of late. Snow, glamping, road trips, new redfoots (or potentially new redfoots). So much fun and games. I have been busy with auditors, we have them here for this week and probably next week as well.

And yesterday was my husbands and My anniversary. 25years. I know there are lots of you with many more years, however I am quite proud of the fact that we are still together and happy. Other than that, i have been watching my favorite program (Star Trek voyager) I am still on season 6 so only one more season to go and then on to the next star trek series. It helps with getting my mind to switch off from my work.

anyway going to be leaving the office shortly so will chat later.

Hi roommates! Took daughter up the fjord on a playdate. The sun finally got ashamed of being out so blatantly in the middle of February, so it’s all back to the ordinary grays and winds.

Fits in perfectly with my mood lately. I love grey days. Must be the cancerian in me.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that Jacques is not well. I hope that the VET is able to find out what is wrong.
Thanks so much, Carol. :):<3:

After 3 days at the vet's, Jacques is suddenly much better although they did no treatment and her labs all came back normal! :confused:
They have no idea what happened to leave her on her back in her tank in 5 inches of water: too weak to right herself or reach the surface and with her entire body puffed up and protruding from her shell.
Although I'm glad she's better, I'm left wondering WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED and will it happen again?
If we have no idea what happened, we have no way of preventing it from happening again. o_O
I wish I could just relax and be grateful, but now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop...:(

Oh Dear. That does sound very frustrating. I would hate that as well and would want to know straight away. Maybe posting on the health thread might just give you some ideas on what to look out for and or if it was anything that you gave her.

I feel your pain Bea. A big Electronic Hug.

No snow - yet, but it’s on it’s way. They track these storms and their arrival better than the arrival of Santa Claus.

We are getting the snow now then rain, all in the same day. 3 to 5 inches of snow from 7am to about noon then changing to mix then all rain. What a crazy day

Poor Jacques and poor you too.

Something just popped in my head.
Do turtles have neurological issues?
I wonder if something just is off since his labs are good.

Happy ANNIVERSARY! I love that you said still HAPPY and together. CONGRATS...

I did not go back for the red foot. I would want to build my heated box first... I’m still in undecided mode...
