That's a GREAT observation. Some kids seem more naturally in tune with animals and their needs, while others are more comfortable with technology, sports, or different experiences. With age comes capacity (manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, analytical capability), but age doesn't necessarily speak to attention or focus... or the innate intuition to know when a creature needs attention, or that something is "not quite right."

Make sure the cord is weather- and water-resistant. The ones made for Christmas lights are often a good option.
I bet you've shelled out to assemble such a collection!
Could somebody cordially explain what this all is about?

I'd go with Bath and Body Works, personally... Just because their Warm Vanilla Sugar scent is my FAVORITE (favourite) vanilla.
I'd love to have a huge fish tank in my dining room. Fresh supply every time!
Is it because you favor (favour) the domestic market? The Body Shop is British; Bath and Body Works is American.I'd go with Bath and Body Works, personally... Just because their Warm Vanilla Sugar scent is my FAVORITE (favourite) vanilla.
Hi, Anne!
A hilarious video from Tort Stork's Instagram. R 18+ though

okay, Now for the very long post. I will most probably have missed a lot as there was way too much fun going on in here about dryers, laundry, washing machines etc.
Here goes:
Kathy: Went to the Ca/Az border in Yuma. They went camping and boating on the Colorado river. And by the looks of it, it was great fun. I am quite jealous.
Blackdog1714: Has had acupuncture after a few car crashes and recommends it as long as you find a good one to do it.
Linda: Mrs B no 3 (I think) tried hiding the view of the camera from us, but then felt sorry and gave us back just a tiny bit of a view. She is very protective of her nest. We need an update Linda please. Daughter was and is still rehabbing two bats. They are so cute. and she is also catching newts for a project. On the 30/04 or the 01/05 it will be Joesbrother's birthday. Her leg is getting better but is still not quite there. Not sure if you read it but the last time she booked her car into the garage, Linda went for a walk and ended up bursting a bakers cyst on the back of her knee. Which has been a huge pain in the butt oops knee and has hampered her mobility and entrtainment slightly.
Lyn: Physio is also progressing well and she is getting around much better. But the school wants her fully healed and mobile before she can come back. And she sasy that we must watch for her in Swan Lake the physio version. She is thinking of renaming Lola to Boomerang as he keeps on coming back into the house. Lyn has also been spring cleaning (Well it is spring) and throwing out all her horded papers and books.
Anne: Is back, I take it that she has finally overcome her computer and add problems on the TFO and can come online much easier now. Hubby surprised her with a Betta/Koi fish which is quite beautiful. But she wants to put it in a bigger tank next to the duo (Bold and Pinstripe) I am not sure maybe just to tease them and to keep the Betta on it's fins maybe?
Oli: Had a birthday and enjoyed a kitkat to celebrate it. He has been accepted to study further. And was looking for somewhere warmer to live. Linda recommended the South of France.
Cheryl: Her kitty is pregnant and it was her brother who did it. But don't worry, Cheryl will be putting a stop to any further soap opera shinangans and will be giving them both a new look as soon as the babies are born.
Gillian popped in and says Hi.
John: Says that he and Jade are no longer an item, but he will be able to pop in more often as he is online again. But please don't mention the maids outfit, otherwise Ray will be getting his "really crazy" that he was looking for.
Heather: has given Torreto his own reality show and has shared a bit of it with us. She did advise us that she is disturbed so we must proceed with caution. Although apparently Torreto has been flashing a lot and enjoys it. Mark reckons he just needs a trench coat.
Karen: Likes to grind branches to a pulp for therapy. Remind me not to make her mad!! her favorit color is yellow and favorite flowers are daffodils. She has had a humongous bruise on her arm for over a year. As she fell on that same spot more than once. But she is much better. Karen has been helping Cathie to get her tank sorted for the Betta fish that she wants to get.
Noel: Is still struggling with her eyes and has to do eye exercises. And Shelly has worked out that the backdoor beeps when it is opened and decided that that is the spot she wants to park herself in for feeding time.
Ray: Advises using a shotgun as a repellent for Crocs and Alligators. Has trouble sleeping, so we advised counting torts, but that does not seem to be helping. He beguiled us with lovely pics of his family and grandchildren.
Mark: Sending e some more dandy seeds. He visited the Great Dismal Swamp and came home to feel swamped with all the clean up work from the storms that hit while he was gone. He now has enough wood for a good couple of years and his forest is getting smaller and smaller. Mark told us about Notre Dame Cathedral burning. And has been sharing pics of a beautiful ring box made by his wife, a wooden egg he made and the colored eggs for Easter.
Cathie: Has been sharing her brothers art work with us. He is very talented. Cathie has also been sharing her story of Saphire when he first flashed her and how shocking it was. It was so bad that she cannot unsee it. Cathie got herself a 5 gallon fish tank and she is working out the nitty gritty of the water etc before she gets the Betta that she wants to get. And she plans to put her grandchildren to work in her garden for clean up duty.
Yvonne: Has been weedeating again, and no she does not eat them for dinner, she just cuts them to the quick. It has come to light that Yvonne is not fond of adobo (a Philippines dish her mother-in-law used to make). Misty has been having a ball with her grandkids and Yvonne has enjoyed the spoils of their cupcake making skills for Easter.
Ben: Has joined the CDR and is studying to do, but seems to enjoy chatting to us more than the studying. But don't worry, we will put him back on track soon.
Sabine: Says hi from her and all her critters. And she loves pigs ears and snouts along with Ray - Holi Ha!! Ray is married..what where you thinking!!
Jamie: Has been flying his tort-flag on his ride.
Tricia: Will be buying her dream farm soon. Yay.
Carol: I am welcoming Winter while you are all welcoming Summer. Yay for you and for me, as hopefully we will get lots of water. The gang are going to be going outside everyday, and coming in at night time. I am busy getting a box sorted out for them for those cold days when I am not at home. As you know, Kang went over the rainbow bridge and is waiting for me to join him at some point in the future. Work has been busy lately and the sun is going down earlier and coming up later.
The hedgehogs have been complaining that they are being stepped on too often, so I told them to make friends with a jellyfish or two and just to poke them when they hear anybody walking near them. The snow leopard says you all are being stingy with your carrots and to please share more. The one-legged Pirate says that he heard that there was more Irish coffee's needed today and that if someone could donate some whiskey he would get together with Montgomery and organize a glass or two for those of you who would like some. The homework hound says that since Lyn has been off from work he has been going hungry and that he would appreciate some of those papers and books that you are throwing away Lyn.
The Wool Spider (if she exists) says that she is going on vacation as there is no more need for wooly socks, mitten, hats or scarves. If anybody sees the meerkat or any ghost shrimp please let us know, otherwise who knows what they will do in here.
Okay. I hope that I did not leave anybody out. If I did sorry. I will try not to leave you out the next time.

No worries. This koi betta is an unusual fish, regardless of gender. Apparently it took some effort in breeding to get those three colors together. There is some translucence as well. And depending on the lighting and angle, there are tiny bits of other colors (teal, maybe?) on the fish as well.
The fish hasn't "told" us its name yet. I've started referring to the koi betta as the Swishy Fishy, due to the way he/it moves (swishes) when I start sweet-talking to him. If he doesn't indicate a name soon, the Swishy Fishy nickname is going to stick...

Definitely. I'm open to suggestions for what to name our recently-acquired male (?) koi betta fish.

That's one of the main reasons we have to wait until we get an appropriate glass tank with a secure, heavy, metal screen... to thwart the cats, because they like would try to perch on top of the tank, at least at first.
However, considering how much the cats have been enjoying the Tiny Turtle Channel, I don't think a single small fish in a tank with plenty of hiding places will be any more interesting than the mud turtles. Especially if the fish tank were adjacent to the turtle tank.
With the addition of the Tiny Turtle Channel a few months ago, the cats haven't been nearly as interested in the bearded dragon (when he's inside the tank). The beardie only comes out under direct, full supervision.

Read the summary.
But in essence, I have had a box made for the torties to go outside during the day (so that they can get more grazing in) And I need to be able to put a CHE inside the box to make sure it is warm on those cold days that we get. Okay Okay we don't get freezing like you guys but it is still cold for our standards and the little critters standards.

Anything for bathing is out, we can only take showers, as we are still under restrictions. I would rather use the extra water I am allowed to water the plants outside for feeding my torts.I'd go with Bath and Body Works, personally... Just because their Warm Vanilla Sugar scent is my FAVORITE (favourite) vanilla.
