we have a safe surrender law here in California. you can give up a baby and a fire station any hospital no questions asked nothing. they just found a baby newborn buried in a park somewhere under some cardboard in a bunch of gravel.the baby was found alive but very very cold it was taken to the hospital and so far so good. personal opinion now the mom should burn you know where.

If you can just dump a kid at the hospital why wouldn't you do that ? I don't understand not keeping your kid . Most animals will kill their young in times of need . Humans are animals also . But some are Neanderthals ! I don't get it . Why hurt a baby when there's places to give them to .

Good morning everyone. I'm sorry I disappeared for some months now. A lot of bad things happened in my life. I'd like to try and get back to chat. I have a new addition, at least for 4 years. I'll make a thread on him. His name is Mr. George and he's a 3 year old sully. I would like an update on members I knew, if you'd like to share.
Hi Mike, David, and Jacqui :)

Hi Sibi! What a wonderful seasonal gift it is to have you back. How are you? How is Runt doing?

Could be that Mum is a scared kid whose parents hadn't noticed she was pregnant and she doesn't want them to know. Not that that's an excuse for leaving a baby to possibly die, but it happens. If the Mum is an adult then given your law it is unforgiveable! I hope the baby is OK.

I really missed you! How are you? Baby Runt is doing great! I have her on a special diet. She has a med she needs to take probably for the rest of her life. But, with that, she's able to pass her feces and not develop a blockage. It's been over a year since her hospitalization, and so far so good. I am also caring for a person's sully, who like Baby Runt, had a rough beginning. Her husband was assigned to Japan for 4 years. So, I'll be caring for him until they return. I'll be creating a post on our new arrival soon. Look for it.

Good Morning, all! Good to see you back, Sylvia!

It's a cold one this a.m. I've got a nice fire going, but am in no hurry to get outside to tend to the tortoises.

Good morning!!
My tortoises are not happy with this chilly weather! They are grumpy!
I'm hoping to at least get them out for an hour to graze.

We are thinking about getting our tree today. It's my daughters turn to chose it. Let's hope it decent!

Do or did you guys have small traditions for the holidays?
We only have small ones like the kids take turns picking the tree and the other puts on the Angel .

We also cook cinnamon rolls or French toast on x-mas morning because it makes the house smell good while opening gifts.

I don't do trees or decorations anymore. Too much trouble for just me, and I'm pretty much bah humbug anyway. No traditions here! A few years ago my grand daughter, who lives in Texas, spent Christmas with me. She brought a small box of ornaments and we bought one of those living trees from the grocery store in a 10" pot. Except for cooking turkey. I love the way the house smells when a turkey is in the oven.
