I think my family thinks I'm nuts, and you prob do too, but i really dont care that much. I frigging love animals. Today was so exciting.
We woke up this morning (days off are lovely) and found some funky parasitic worms in good ole Yurltes tank.... hmmm. Damn fish! Trying to kill my turtle with infectious insects! GRRR! We went to Walmart to get some new alage eaters because our current one was a host to some funk eukaryote. (We got snails and fish!)
Anyways, we take the tank outside to clean it, and on these marvelous days, we let the Yurtle wander [I have had this turtle for 10 years now]. He broke for the pond, not running, just sauntering like he was happy to head home. My tearful Mom and I elected to let him live the rest of his days in Herman pond.... good luck buddy.
So no turtle tank, therefore the new algae eating team gets put to work in my fish tanks with my betta buddies.... fine by me... keeps it clean, more distracting animals for me to take care of. So now there are 2 snails, Herbert and Jeffrey, and 4 albino fish, Tweek & Spaz, and Flotsam & Jetsam. YAY!
Then I found eggs in my driveway... nothing i love more than stealing someone else's turtle eggs and burying them somewhere good by the pond, hoping to have baby meat eaters... I love my pets.
And aside from animals, I wanted to make myself feel like a princess, so I hung a net around my bed. Kiss my ass, I'm royalty.
Love ya, mean it.
