COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Jacques will be in her NEW 40 gallon breeder tank!!! She'll have twice the space she's ever had, so it'll be a whole new world for her!!!!
The new baby will go in the 20 gallon long tank that Jacques has been in all this time.
They'll never be in the same tank, since they are different types of turtles.

But I'm keeping the identification of the new baby a secret until he/she arrives! Then anyone who wants to guess what species it is can do so! The first person to guess correctly will win a prize!!!!!
I'm posting about the upcoming baby over in the Water Turtles section under the title "Maybe, Baby???" in case you want to have a peek!!!

Lucky Jacques - she 'll have lots to explore!
I'll certainly be popping in to the new thread to find out more.....can't wait to see!!

Good morning CDR!
Thursday already and hopefully only one more day of non weight bearing on my broken leg!!
I'll be so disappointed if I have to wait (or should that be non weight) longer!
Anyway I can hear Lola up and about, so better go and sort him out.
Hope everyone has a good Friday Eve!
See you later alligators!

Just as long as it isn't a mud pie...

Oh but that is a given!

Ordinarily I would love to help with spring cleaning in the CDR, but right now I'm very busy getting things ready for my new turtle baby, to be delivered in about 2 weeks! Much to do in preparation.
Hugs to all.

What and you are only telling us now? Wow that is awesome news. Congratulations and cannot wait to see pictures.

A new Pancake Turtle would have been perfect had it arrived on Tuesday. Hmmm, it’s arriving in a box...maybe a Box Turtle.

Love it. [emoji23]
It’s hard to map out all the possibilities... The Mississippi map turtle? [emoji848] @Moozillion [emoji23]

My body hurt so bad last night. I ended up taking NyQuil and slept like baby except when the thunder rolled in.
Today I managed to clean kitchen and relax on the sofa watching 3 episodes of This is Us.

Well rest is the best medicine. Although I would not include cleaning while trying to get better.

@Kristoff is that a brandy new Avatar you are exposing? A sea turtle with mountains and sunshine. Or....did i miss the unveiling?

 

[CarolM]

Ok, food is out, camera is ready, temps are cold, BUT we try for the Koon Kodak Moment

And.....did you know this:

Although raccoons are notorious for carrying rabies, there has only been one recorded human death from raccoon rabies in the United States.

Other Fun Facts

• A raccoon will rinse its food in water prior to eating it. When there is no water close by, a raccoon will still rub its food to remove debris.

• Some hypothesize that the purpose of a raccoon's black mask is to reduce glare, helping it to see better in the dark.

• A group of raccoons is called a nursery.

• Although raccoons only live 2-3 years in the wild, a raccoon can live up to 20 years in captivity.

Interesting about the captivity, it must be very dangerous in the wild for them.

The birdies were happy this afternoon.

Hi Bea how exciting!
What will Jacques make of that I wonder!!

I was wondering the same thing.

Crows and other members of that family are pretty intelligent.
Have you seen anything like this before?

Will nature never cease to amaze!

Well, we can probably rule out Louisiana Cajun Turtles, i don’t think they like water.

Thank you for cleaning the CDR kitchen. I feel guilty now: you’re not 100% and we’ve asked you do clean...

Oh was Kathy referring to the CDR kitchen? Then where is the sofa please, I want to go and sit with Kathy and give her some personal support while she watches This is us.
Although I would imagine a program about the CDR would be very confusing what with the amount of subjects we cover on a daily basis.

 

[CarolM]

Enough to drive anyone... bananas..!
Happy Thursday!
The weekend is nigh......

I keep on thinking it is Friday......maybe wishful thinking?

 

[CarolM]

No coon party last night, but, we did spot three different cats stopping by for a late evening snacks.

19 degrees F again overnight. I’m guessing they slept in.

I tweeted this pix out yesterday, but I don’t think I put it here. Check out that landing.

They probably don't like rolls either!

I like the new Avatar. And I was going to ask the same thing. Is that your new turtle with Denmark on it's back?

Good Thursday all,

It has been raining again today, so Yayyyyy. Hopefully it rains often this winter, then maybe I can go back to just flushing my toilet without having to save the bath water for flushing.

The wind is pumping again, so our reefers are not being taken into stack until further notice. Such a headache.

Anyway have an awesome Thursday and chat again later.
