mud wallow

[Maggie Cummings]

Some of you Sulcata keepers know that I have dug out a swimming pool for Bob in his lawn. This summer I dug it out 3 times and really the only time it was deep enough was the first couple of weeks. Then it got muddy, thick viscous mud, that he tracked into is bed, shed, over his food etc. So I decided to cement it in, but the weather turned. So now what I have is a muddy hole that smells like a sewer, with 2 inches of water in the very middle. But Bob was still walking thru and tracking the mud all over. So 2 days ago, I did this...

the suspense!!! so you did what?

 

[Maggie Cummings]

It's either stupid computer, or stupid Maggie. But it said I took too long and it posted half of my thread without the pictures. So let's try again...
This is what it used to look like...



Then this...





So I did this...






I was going to take bets as to how long Bob would allow it to stay in one piece...oh...here he comes...







He's stopped and checking it out....







OMG!!! He's going around...






This is so anticlimactic...




Sorry it's not funny or anything...it's just so not Bob...2 days and he hasn't walked on it yet...

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Man, I had a hard time with this thread, and screwed it up anyhow...jeez

 

[russian/sulcata/tortoise]

how old is that big tort?

 

[wellington]

Maggie, when you least expect it, well, that's when Bob will do it.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

how old is that big tort?

He's 17 this year and was 150 last Christmas, last he was weighed. I betcha he's close to 170 now and if there's anyone close to me with a truck that wants to pick him up and take him to be weighed, I'd love it!!!

I can not see any of the pics?????

 

[Yvonne G]

Maggie: If you'll email me the pictures I'll post them for you.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

You mean only some of us can see the pictures? I'll send them after I feed...

 

[Yvonne G]

Can you see them? All that shows up for me is a little rectangle with a little blue square inside of it. And if I try to open it in a new window it gives me an error message.

 

[russian/sulcata/tortoise]

I was able to see the pictures yesterday but now it no let me see

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

I can't pics either? Good idea, though, I like the thought of having a nice, permanent water spot.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

I'm really sorry...I tried to have a line of diologe and the picture...that's what I get for trying to be creative...

 

[Yvonne G]

I hope I got it all in the correct sequence. If you thought YOU had trouble, it's even harder when trying to edit someone else's post.

Oh, Bob! What a guy!!

Wow Yvonne, you did a perfect job, thank you so much for taking your time to do that.
