Steph you know how we felt then. It was very hard because we knew his illnesses were going to kill him eventually but the night before it happened we had no idea that he wasn't going to live through the next day. That was really tough. His heart failed suddenly and that was that.

We lost him on a Friday then I had a mandatory seminar to attend the following Monday on laboratory safety. I got maybe 12 hours total of sleep that entire weekend then had to show up for that thing feeling like a zombie.
What was worse about the thing is that it turned out to be a two day nightmare. Eight hour a day for two days of listening to one man lecture. It was like being in hell! LOL
It was the most boring thing I've done in a long time. There's not that much you can say about lab safety and keep it interesting.

I find this interesting though, I've met a lot of people who love turtles and also weenie dogs. I know quite a few people who have both, a lot of them also have pet rats.
Interesting that turtle loving people often seem to have the same interests in other species as well.
We thought about 2 puppies but decided no, now I'm glad we did. I can't imagine all this "puppy in holy terror mode" but two of them! lol
