Breaking News! Tommy T

In Prior Post I told you I have a turtle in the pool (Duck Haven Pond). the day the ducks left, he appeared. Beau was using him as a football/chew toy. I gave him to my neighbor, he came back and has been in the pool for 60 days. I worried he could not get out and placed these two concrete pieces of an old bird bath for him to use to get out and to sun on, since they must have sunshine to dry them out.

Tommy Turtle is alive and well and he loves his new turtle food I bought from Wal-mart delivered Friday am, he ate all of it, Friday, Saturday and today.. it is little floating sticks, made from shrimp, black fly larvae and a lot of really stinky stuff. I have not seen him eat it yet. But its gone when I check.

the first day I put 12 pieces on the top step. and they floated, then dropped to the step, and an hour later they were gone. 

Day 4, I saw him swimming towards the step as soon as I dropped the food. I could not see him get it because he knows when i walk up to the door and dives.

He knows when I drop it, because they have really good sight and scent at long distance.He can see me from the pool if i walk by the door. He is afraid because beau used him for a football.  

 I am feeding A TURTLE named Tommy T.... what next? pet possum? cuddly coons? crazy crow?

BREAKING NEWS! 

*  Tommy T is a she, not a he, and name change is Tommie T!😛

*  She refuses to leave the pool, today is day 5 that I am feeding her, I have to hide behind the kitchen window to see her, swimming or floating. she has incredible hearing and sight and smell.

*  Yesterday for the first time, I saw her stunning on the rock!

She NEEDS to sun to dry out which meant ...

The sight Rocked my world. No photos allowed is her motto.

I asked AI to put her in the photo I took, the photo above showing the concrete.

I took Tommie T to ChatGPT 

and here she is, Just what I saw, She is 10 to 12 inches long.

I am thrilled she eats the food, but still fretting over her becoming sick living in the pool. If anyone has an idea how to get her out. Please let me know. I can't see her in the murky water and she is faster than a lightning bolt.

I am praying to catch her OUT of the pool, and will move her to a real pond.

 

Sit! Beau (BeauSpeak)

Today is MY day, no update needed, Mama says all three of us are good.

Mama said I was sitting in a perfect sit on the sofa. She had been waiting for a non laying down picture of me.  I did not cooperate, and I will not do it for a treat. My friend Ruby says I am not reacting to treats because I have not been trained to react. In other words, it is Mama fault I do not sit for a treat. Mama said , Beau I will ask AI to use this picture of you when you were 8 years old in a perfect sit.AI made me SIT!

AI complied with Mama's command and this is as perfect as I can be for Selfie Sunday, butt Mama never knows  when to stop. She asked AI to 

putt me in a police harness, with a police officer in front of a police SUV and now I have a new job.

NOTE: This could be FAKE NEWS and Mama might be the 

AI-Author/Artist/Director.

She is not sure which.

Mama also made me in and ACTION GIF ---  Warning! Flashing Animation Below!

Beau Exercising With Us. or not!

Like I said, Mama can't seem to STOP. She just loves to color... She is stuck on Homes for now

Mama is now busy coloring houses and I am hoping she doesn't choose the moveable houses, or the tree house, because I will not fit in those and I don't like my routine broken.

I also don't do stairs

I don't do boats or ski-doos, which leaves the tent on a beach

as my choice.

Saturday Update for the Week

 

Hello Out There! I found my exercise chair, it blends with my Ancient Decor, 

 $9.99 at Habitat Re-Store.

Plus I went shopping for 2 hours. I actually went out 1 hour each, on two days and 2 hours, on a 3rd day. Bob did well while I was gone. The Insurance renew Bob's PT. They have done what they can do and now it is up to us.

 Good news, 2 weeks of  rain,  blue skies and sunshine has Brought Back The Green, and Beau is headed to the grass to lay in the hot sun and roll around upside down.  The rain stopped, none for 5 days. Back to praying for rain.

 A 12 foot limb,  dangling over the driveway since hurricane Milton broke it part way, 2 years ago. Director/Producer Bob calls me, Chainsaw Mama or Lumberjack! Don't fret, I was terrified of the saw. Bob watched and told me, do it this way,that way, wiggle it back and forth. Stop! pull it out. Now do it again. He said, Easy, be Careful, numerous times, and I was.

I hate PAIN!

 

Since I wear trifocal glasses, I ordered this cup which allows me to look down in the cup while pouring and I can clearly see the ounces. It's perfect and I LOVE IT!

bought at Amazon at this LINK 

I  bought a Pioneer Woman 12 oz mug!

current photo as I sipped, and typed this post Friday am.

The pot does 6 to 10 ounces, Bob 10 oz, the Mad one 8 oz.. I control the strength of coffee by the amount of water I add. I love Strong, He does not. The Pot is a Huge Hit! I like my kitchen view as I sit here, and have for 38 years this Oct 13th. 

A Red Ear Turtle, Tommy T. has been in the Safe Haven Duck Pond( algae filled pool) since the 4th of July. I only see him with his head up and swimming, if I peek carefully between the blinds, between 3 and 4. I have never caught him out, but assume he does when there are no dogs or humans around. He refuses to leave, and I can't see him when he dives, to capture and relocate, and he remains for now. I am praying I will see him out of the pool, and will remove him to a real pond in the park.

Tommy Turtle has caused a flurry of me coloring (therapy turtles)ZenColor 

Tommy appeared when Missy and Mister, when the ducks left on July 4th
