Break out the canoes its flooding here

Mother Nature is just having a great old time here in Houston TX. In the last 10 days we have gotten around 14 inches of rain, which would have been ok if it had been around an inch a day, but nooooo it is coming in batches and we are flooding all over the place. Last night the storms were going on forever and we woke up to a flooded Houston again. Most of the schools are closed today or will open later.

Introducing Czarina!

This is Czarina. She is a female Russian tortoise. I decided she needed a regal name lol. I think she is 3-5 yrs old, will get confirmation from my reptile vet when she goes in for a visit. I haven't measured her yet but think she is around 4 inches from head to tail across the shell not counting head and tail. She might grown another couple of inches. She didn't come from the best situation. She is in need of some really good food and TLC. Overall she looks pretty good considering her beginning in life. I hadn't planned on adding her to my family but you know how things work out lol.

Pookie, Pebbles Hoover & Humphrey's big day

(This is a loooooonnnnnngggg post lol)

Here you see Pookie (smaller turtle on left side), Pebbles (larger turtle on right side), Hoover (pleco on left side) and Humphrey (pleco on right side). They have been living in my 125 gallon tank. The turtles are Red Eared Sliders. Yesterday was a full day for them, but let me give you their background story first.

Sandi 02-21-98 - 12/31/08

Almost 6 yrs ago my late ex-mil adopted Sandi (sheltie) at 4 yrs old. Sandi also known as CH Kismet's Sandra Dee, totally bonded with her. After ex-mil's death I inherited Sandi and Sonja (her cousin). Sandi was never the same, her little heart broke when her mama died. She still was flirty and outgoing, and very much independent, and she never forgot her first mama.

It snowed in Houston, TX!!!!

This pic is of Patachou wearing his bomber jacket. I couldn't find the one I took of Nanuchy so this will have to do lol. Who would have thought I could find a bomber jacket to fit a 104 lbs rottie lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The pic is of Patachou when he had gotten home from his radiation treatment. He was tired and had headed right up to bed. You can see (sorta) up in left hand corner, Patches is lying in her favorite spot.
I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Gasp another post

I know you are now thinking the world is coming to an end lol.

Just had to share this pic I took of Patachou when he was done with his radiation treatment. He loved wearing clothes and the techs and Gulf Coast Vet Specialist put it on him. All the vets and techs signed it. Pata loved going there for his treatment. He used to give everyone kisses. A total love bug.

I got tagged back on Oct 26th LOL

I received these beautiful tulips (believe they are called fireburst tulips but don't quote me) yesterday from someone new and special in my life :)

WOOT!!!

I'm so excited. Yesterday (9/28) at 3:15pm the power came back on!!! 16 days without power!!! The whole complex cheered when it came back on. So nice to have a/c, lights, tv, warm shower lol. And I was able to drain the turtle tank and fill it up with clean water. Now if my fridge would cool that would with wonderful lol.

All the babies faired pretty well overall. I'm happy to say that Tobie (tortoise) seem more outgoing than he did before this which is pretty cool. I thought he might end up shyer.

Anyway had to share. Hope everyone has a great day!!!
