Thanks again! The more info I get the better. I will utilize all your suggestions.

Thanks, but believe me I am the lucky one. I enjoy my tortoise and turtles so much, and they provide valuable lessons for my little 7 year old granddaughter. My little Yorkie isn't ignored either. Spoiled doesn't even begin to describe my babies. (That includes mt granddaughters as well...
