So far this a.m. I've fielded two phone calls for found RES, one found box turtle and one lady who wants to bring me 9 desert tortoises, various ages.

I had to stop for a minute because the 'found' box turtle had arrived. It's a very pretty little female three toe. The desert tortoises are coming tomorrow about 10a, and I refer the water turtles to the animal control or maybe a pet store. I don't take them anymore.

I have lots of scrap lumber, and plenty of wooden stakes. I just section off a part of an existing pen and pound in the stakes to hold up the lumber.

What a hectic day this has been. So I got those phone calls mentioned above, then my grand daughter in New Jersey told me to check if Kindle can take Skype. While I was trying to set up a Skype account - not an easy chore because I already have different microsoft accounts and it was hard to get the new program to recognize me as a NEW person - they were going to have to send me a # to type in to re-set my password. Trouble is, my sister called and was leaving a message on my answering machine and she just kept talking and talking and talking, so the automated phone call couldn't get through and was refused in the password thing. That took me about an hour to get set up. Then the vet hospital where I had a necropsy done called and I couldn't hear her (bad connection) and had to call her back, but, you've guessed it, my sister called again and was leaving another long missive on my answering machine. And during that time I received a call from a guy with a very strong accent who told me he had a turtle that is dying and can he bring it to me. I tried to get him to tell me if it was a water turtle (because I don't take them), but he couldn't understand me and I couldn't understand him, so I just gave in and told him to bring me the turtle. Turns out it's a nice little female Luteola (western box turtle), and not dying. It's just that they found it and didn't know how to care for it, so felt it would die. I told him I would take it and try to find the owner.

So I've got phone calls coming out my ears, stuff on the computer that isn't working, an impatient grand daughter in New Jersey, a vet office that won't send in the lab samples until they're paid and a sister that likes to leave 586 page encyclicals on my answering machine! I'm all keyed up. I'm going to try to take a nap.

Oh shame Yvonne. Big hugs. It sounds like it was an exhausting day. I really hope it gets better.
