I think Cyress grows on you. 
Being the paternal grandparent isn't a bad thing at all! I'm much closer to mine.

Nice box Tiff!
Yes ma'am I did that fancy little trick even with Mazuri and they turned their noses up and walked away. [FLUSHED FACE][FLUSHED FACE] I didn't think it was possible. Good thing, I got them to start eating weeds from the yard. They didn't touch it for 3 weeks. These guys are Mazuri whores too. I've got no words..O well Herbal Tortoise Hay it is. Boy, it smells awesome! I could smell it through the box!

I did a quick coat of paint on my one plant stand outside taking advantage of the warmth and ignoring the winds. It was a bit nippy because of the wind too. Any how am I the only one who when they paint, end up wearing some of the paint?
Tif, I thought you were sick?

I am. I just cant eat or do anything that requires running or hyperventilating. I couldn't keep my lunch down today. My dad is helping build the box, so i can just call the shots.
I had Ellie out to enjoy the sunshine today and she enjoyed it but not like she used to...
Here's her a few months ago:
Here's her today:
She eats 4 cups of food a day and doesn't have parasites. Just looks like I'm neglecting her. But I see a sadness in her eyes.

Oh Kim, that is so sad. I feel for both Ellie and you.

Thats so sad
She looks loved though. Really. Neglected dogs don't have that look in their eye.
I just realised how OCD my dad is. I had one 2x4 off (width wise not length wise) and he freaked out. I was like GEEZ.

He just wants it to look nice and work right, Tif.
Ahhh, but its more than that. Its a story for another time. I'm going to do nothing now and mentally prepare myself for food.
Yuppers [FACE SAVOURING DELICIOUS FOOD]your Dad is like Randy. That's why it took 6 weeks for our enclosure to be built [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]
The boys are happy though. Obviously a good weight and not starved (she eats more than they do every day). I also give her electrolyte powder in her water to prevent dehydration from her bouts of diarrhea and incontinence. Today she peed about 30 times while out during those two hours of play and most of it was pink, but at the end it was just blood drops or nothing. Last vet visit about two months back when she couldn't keep down food for 5 days and was nonstop wetting herself her bloodwork might have indicated cancer but there were no definitive outliers or anything upon examination but I'm thinking she may have a mass in her bladder/kidney failure. I didn't see the point in doing x-rays or exploratory surgery since both those diagnoses only have palliative care outcomes. But we will see what the vet says tomorrow afternoon first, although I doubt it will be positive.
Thanks for the support everyone.

Good luck tomorrow Kim *hugs*
Lets hope for good news. :heart:
On yet another bad note, the tortoise I'm supposed to be getting is not an average sulcata.
He's on some special all- vegetable diet. I dont know how well he'll acclimate to Mazuri. There's no way I can afford to feed him like the foster is. Two heads of romaine lettuce a day!!!! And 6 apples?!?! Its kind of insane.

Actually I am finding out that it is way common, daughters gravitate toward their mothers when they first become mothers - and she has a very "hands on" mom. I just wasn't ready for it....the mom babysitting 5days a week, FB posts with the grand-baby, the oh so much bond time with her while I get limited time, usually taking them out to a restaurant. But you know what? I have a fabulous son, a marvelous daughter in law, and an incredible granddaughter. I am still a winner and will remain hands off and respect their family boundaries, after all I am the grandparent, not the parent, my son and daughter in law have that under control. I am over myself now. Just breathe.
My heart so goes out to Ellie and her human companion. Keep her close and love her lots.

He shouldn't be getting that many apples.
They would be better to be giving him other greens then romaine or some hay. I know I don't feed mine much Mazuri.ijmccollum said:
What if you say you would like to babysit on such and such a date. Let them know you want some one on one with the new little one.
