Right!!! How did Opo fare while y’all were cruising??
Did you get a tan ???
I think he did ok. He decided to poop in his nighttime hide instead of his pool. So I gave the caretaker some extra money. He soaked for over a hr. when I got home.
I got some sun but I can't stay in the sun to long because of some of my meds. But that was my first cruise. There will definitely be more.

I’ve never been on a cruise. It’s on my list of things to do one day:).

Toretto weighed in today at 21lb 6.3 oz. He is 3yrs 4months old. This time last year, he didn’t even weigh 5lbs !!

He’s such a big ham and is very “mom” oriented. He actually likes affection. Will follow me most anywhere but doesn’t care for hardly anyone else.
Wow I dunno how I missed this thread for awhile now but he has gotten huge, and looking great!

Great! I just tried posting photos with no luck either.
I do believe that mazuri helps with weight gain. Wish there were pics.

While his growth has slowed for the winter, it definitely has not stopped. Today Toretto weighed 25lbs 1.5oz after a warm soak and load dump! He’s a handsome &friendly fellow.... to my son & me:) He doesn’t really care for many other visitors in his yard..

Yeppers.. in one end & out the other
I have a scooper that I take out the turds to flush and then I put a strainer over the drain when I let the water out. Being that he’s almost solely on grass, his poop is pretty firm now.. but it’s still like letting the horse in for a potty break!

I have two girls with heads full of hair so I’m no stranger to the drain snake

Toretto is looking great. You should turn the jets on in the tub for him.

Spa day!
brought Toretto in for some pampering and a weight check...He was 1 ounce short of 28lbs! Hard to believe he was only 4lbs when I got him and will already be 4 this May! Luv this dude ;-)
