I bought dog igloos for the the ladies and pig blankets for each of them. They took over my spare room until I have the night boxes finished (like Tom's) which will be in a couple months. Of course these will have a/c hooked up to them to help with the horrible az heat.
Of course I will post pictures when construction gets closer.

Geesh, even I don't have a/c.

Of course, while I was out babysitting the two youngsters, I had a crowd of cats formed. Last years kittens never were around the tortoises, so they found the moving rocks to be of interest.

Peaking through the gate and watching the world go by is their favorite past time *eye roll*
Never mind there is huge orange trees to hang out under and relax under

Notice how there are nice munchies all around this guy. Think he wanted any of it? No, he wanted to go eat the cypress mulch I had spread under a nearby tree. :rolleyes:

When there's not much to do and I don't feel like reading, I look at all those strange sites advertised along the side of the Facebook pages. One I read yesterday was about what to do to keep early onset dementia away from your door. Naturally, it was some sort of commercial for the author's booklet, but I had to sit there and watch over 15 minutes of rhetoric before he got to advertising the booklet. But before I got that far, he mentioned that one good thing to stave off dementia was coconut oil. I have coconut oil here that I use on the tortoise shells occasionally. The ad said I could fry food in it or add a couple tablespoons to a hot beverage. I've been chicken to try it in my tea because I'm not really fond of coconut (unless it's a Mounds bar). Coconut-smelling shampoo almost makes me gag. Cookies that you don't expect to taste like coconut but do, do make me gag.

So whadaya think? Should I stave off my early onset dementia by adding coconut oil to my hot tea? or is it too late for me.

Wow. Such is life it seems. A pretend prince death receives top international news coverage before The Real Queens 90th birthday mention. Happy birthday your Majesty. From one of us overseas rebels.

If she had died today, she would have gotten top billing. I think death rates over a birthday.

90 is pretty dang old, from what I can tell. Oh good! A prince closing as well. For others keeping score,
Queen Elizabeth's 90th was finally mentioned as the last story for the night.ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1461287875.345544.jpg

I woke up anxious and took a 1/4 dose of xanax. It did NOTHING. Around 4:30 I took another 1/4 and holy moly, I just woke up. Does anyone else struggle with feeling really weird when the pressure changes? I'm a flippin' barometer.
