I like old dogs best and when I adopt, I seek the older ones. Funny thing is, almost every dog on the place came as a puppy. The two old ladies were born here. The oldest, was born right next to me.

We are Bella setting last week and this week. Seven is Bella's mother, Seven is almost 7 years old and Bella is almost 6. Seven is the pup on the left, they both have blue eyes, Bella is deaf and does great with hand signals. Seven got her name from being our seventh dog at the time she came to live with us.

I just realized.......some people have no shame(Blushes).

It's basically a parabola, increasing as you grow and become self aware and then decreasing as you get old. Comparing now to when I was twenty, it's scary to think how shameless I'll be in 20 years.

I just took in rescues 82, 83 and 84. The owner, who lived in Los Angeles, a 23 year old guy, died two years ago. Since that time, the younger brother has been going over to the house two or three times a week to freshen the water and feed them. The mother, who lives in Clovis, drove down once a month. She and the brother were finally able to come to the conclusion that it is in the turtles' best interest to give them up. They found me on the 'net.

Bear in mind that box turtles first indication of MBD is shortened, stubby tails, long curly nails and overgrown beaks.

This is the three of them getting a drink:



It's hard to tell because of the bobbed tails, but I think this would be female, and a triunguis:



This would be another female triunguis:



And what I think is a male luteola:



It doesn't show so much in the pictures, but in real life this guy's eyes just bug out of his head.

Looks like tomorrow I'll be setting up a box turtle habitat for the winter, cutting toenails and beaks and giving these guys some special attention.

Right. At least some of us have seen Jacqui in person. No one here has EVER seen Cameron...not a picture or the real deal.

I love that coat pattern! It it the blue eyes that goes along with deafness, or old age. I thought white dogs with blue eyes were deaf??? Your doggies are very pretty.

Not true, I've met members of this forum at shows (they didn't/don't know it was me). There may have even been pictures, you just don't know it's me.

Sweet, but most folks do not show you what they got you for Christmas before they give it to you. However, in the spirit of the season, I shall forgive you. Thank you Peter for my gift!

We always had turkey. My youngest son keeps trying to change us to ham.

You might be onto something... a glitch in the matrix. No wonder "Jacqui" makes all those duplicate posts and then has to try to hide them before anyone catches on.
