I hate that there are so many people hurting today. Hugs for Sunshine, Faerie, Kali and all the others whose posts just made my heart ache. God bless each of you with peace, quiet contentment in your day and in your spirit, and all the love you each so richly deserve. I think Herman the Turtle will be okay, as he has pulled this stunt before. He scares us all to death, not because he gets quiet and still, but because he seems to get an uggie eye, and crawls into a corner, where he can't really figure out where he's going, and stays there till you think he's kicked the bucket. I gave him a little rinse off with some distilled water, and he opened his eyes (even the slightly puffy one), and peed on me. That's some gratitude for ya. (Bless his heart.) I put him in his little water dish thing and dropped a few pellets in, and he ate them. Thing 1 gave me a directive to make sure he was ok, so I am trying my best to do my duties to the best of my abilities. I was left in charge of hamsters one weekend a few years ago, and when the Things came home, they were both dead. (Bless my heart?) Herman is about 3 1/2 years old and we got him when he was a baby-baby. The guy who gave him to us worked in herpatology for the Smithsonian. Herman was no bigger than a quarter at the time. He's a bit bigger than a 50 cent piece now, and thicker. He's kind of box turtle-ish, and way cool. Doesn't give me any grief, just kinda hangs out and then goes and crawls under his mulch for a nap. ps: love the new picture, Stella!
