Dilly says meyum in the morning when I feed him and shakes one of his back legs. He has other vocals too for specific things going on. If there's a bug in the house, he makes a different meow. I can be in another room and know what he said. It's hilarious.
Mine comes and rubs against us when she wants food, she only ever meows when she wants to go into my son's room and his door is closed.

I have just arrived home and decided that a swim would be good exercise. I went out to stick my toe in the water for a temperature check and I hear a loud splash. ( I have done all this without actually looking in the water) Lo & behold!!! I’ve got a squatter!

Now I’ve got to figure out how to get her out of there! I have startled her as much as she has me and she’s about 10’ down. She’s way too quick for the skimmer and a lot bigger than this picture looks.. I can’t tell for sure but maybe a yellow belly??
LOL, That is so cool. You can call it swimming with the turtles!!. What kind of water do you have in there? chlorinated? And wouldn't that water be bad for the turtle?

My dear husband, Pete, went on to a better place at 2:00 AM this morning (July 2). I was blessed to be with him, and to hold his hand as he took his last breath.

Thank you all for your prayers and well-wishes. I will return when I am able.View attachment 275843
Oh I am so Sorry Karen. All my love and prayers. :<3:

Good Wednesday Afternoon All,

My days are.......well they are winter days. It is now getting much colder and we have been having quite a few overcast and rainy days. The overcast weather makes it colder (which is not so nice) but the rain is very welcome. Hopefully we will end up with completely full dams by the time winter is finished.:D:D So nobody is complaining about the rain. We are all of course complaining how cold it is. And yes before you all say it or think it, I know that we are nowhere as cold as you guys, but for us who are used to warm weather it is cold. At least it is a nice excuse to snuggle up under the blankets at night.;)
I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. And it is so nice to see all the visiting animals. By the way, I seem to have misplaced my homework......Has anyone seen it?

Though our words can do little, we hope our thoughts and prayers will support you a little bit this time.

OMG! I'm so very, very sorry to hear this. I don't really know you and Pete, but when I read your post it brought tears to my eyes. This is very sad news.

Everything is good. Just been preoccupied with summer, our bath remodel and stuff. My husband might have back surgery but insurance denied him so he has an appeal in. He leaves for China on Friday.

Oh, and one of my mom friends is getting ready for hospice and it’s very hard because she has 3 kids and her daughter is only 14 and they are best friends.
Some other moms and I try to help as much as we can but I think it has come down to just family now.
