Hey Lele,
I've been really busy here & haven't been on the forum in a while. I just read about Luna. OMG! How awful. My heart goes out to you. I know it will take some time for you to move on, but my thoughts & prayers are with you.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Cricket

hey stranger - I was wondering where you ran off to

Sorry to hear about your chams, too. It always sucks, huh? Hope all else is well with you!

Hi Genius,

I am like a bad rash, just when you think it's gone, it comes back

Life is well..I am just working way too much I am still in PA, still trying to get to NH and visit

Yes, losing chams is very hard. 2 of the jacksons I lost made the trip from California with me...and they were my first chams ever...it is sad...and I hope they didnt suffer. Like most others, I found them in the morning. I know what you've been through, it does suck but as you say, they are just traveling!

Hey Vic!!

How's Arizona treating you?? Yep, tell your daughter that Poopie and Speedy are still with me. Poopie has grown quite a bit since we got her and she has a "man" now...she's a big girl. Speedy has a girl too, but whilst Poopie and George hang together all the time, Speedy and "whatsherface" (yes, thats her name) hardly ever hang out. Guess it's just different in turtle land.

Hope your family is doing well! Say hi to Bernie for me.

You should see this thing! I mean, OMG!!!!
That $%@#*&?!$ lil weasle bit down on my finger tip. HARD!!!!
There's two puncture wounds, with the bottom one being only a puncture wound. The top wound is a puncture wound, but with slicing down towards the lower puncture, span between wounds is 3/4 inch, top wound having a deep 1/2 inch-long slice.
Quite impressive lil wound. I've gained a tremendous amount of respect or ferretts' effectiveness of their teeth configuration. If it would have had a little more pressure, I'm sure it would have bitten my fingertip off.
I've been dressing the wound 2-3x's daily, self medicating with neosporin. I'm keeping it EXCEPTIONALLY clean and it's responding well to treatment.
