I'M BAAAAAAACK!!!
Mommy & daddy are back from their romantic getaway! They actually came home yesterday, but my blogging business did not start in full speed until today. They loved it! It was mommy's second time and daddy's first time to visit Hearst Castle. But, it was mommy's first time to tour the upper levels of the main house Casa Grande. If you appreciate antiques and arts, you gotta check out this castle! It was cold and gloomy in Central Cali, but as they drove south to head home, it was back to 105F! Thank you for visiting my page while I was gone. HOME SWEET HOME! MISSED Y'ALL!!! Here's a vote for ya! Love...SB.
PS. I'm outside soaking up the UVB and heat! LOVIN' IT!!!Come visit me, SPONGELINA BALLERINA~Brrrr. ..it's gettin' chilly!!.

Momma worked today...
...but that didn't stop me from having my natural sunlight therapy. I was out for at least 5 hours, with Nana watching me closely. Mommy will be off tomorrow, so for sure I'll get more sun. I'm loving it! So this is how sunbathing feels like. I've been inside most of the time for a whole year. Mommy really hopes that my shell will be smooth soon. She saw some horrific photos of tortoises with deformed shells. She would die if that ever happened to me!
Today Zorro the pug turned four. All he got was a low fat dog biscuit, cuz he's on a diet. Most of us in this house hold should cut down their food intake (mommy is on top of that list), except for me ofcourse...I'm but a growing baby tortoise...LOL!
Mommy and daddy will be celebrating their ninth anniversary soon. They'll be going to their little Hearst Castle getaway from 9/20 to 9/22. Poor Nana...she only had us four legged ones the last time they went on vacation. This time, she'll have the kids, too!
Thanks for stopping by...here's a nite-nite vote from your bff...SB. Later!Come visit me, SPONGELINA BALLERINA~Brrrr. ..it's gettin' chilly!!.

MOMMA's too CHEAP!!!
I'm outside again! It's in the 80s, and I'm lovin' it! Mommy deided not to spend $ on the tortoise playpen. It's kinda small, and at the rate I'm growing, it would be 60 hard earned dollars down the drain.
She's using the dog crate that belongs to Bella the english bully(check out the pics on my page). The bottom is kinda open, so I get to walk on the grass. The only downside is, to enjoy the grass, I have to be at the front yard. They cemented the back because of the dogs. Mommy is not comfortable leaving me in the front by myself too long. Somebody might steal me (daddy just laughed at her). Zabi the akita no longer uses his giant crate, so mommy will put that together, buy some grass at the pet store for my bedding, and leave me there at the back yard (away from the dogs, of course). I'll be spending most of my day outside when it's sunny and warm.
About the calcium supplement, some sites said daily, some weekly. Also, is D3 necessary? Mommy read on line that it was when a tortoise was housed indoor. She's really confused now!

ONE WHOLE YEAR TODAY!!!
I came home exactly a year ago today on September 6, 2008. Mommy and family went to the exact Reptile Expo in Anaheim today, where she bought me. Thank goodness mommy didn't bring any new reptile home. The one thing I require is undivided attention.
Mommy had a little chat with a lady who sold tortoises at the expo. She found out that calcium supplement springkled on my food should be given weekly, not daily like she's been doing. The lady also told her that a healthy tortoise should have relatively smooth shell, not bumpy like mine (see my profile pic). She also said the most likely cause of that was lack of natural sunlight. So, I've been outside since she got home from the expo...she really freaked out, thinking that I was sick. But, beside the bumpy shell, I seem pretty healthy. I eat good, and I'm active...well, as active as I can possibly be in my small enclosure. That's why mommy is really considering buying me an outdoor house ($99.99) or playpen ($59.99). She can't decide, so she posted the pics on my page. What do you think? I do need natural sun light.
Mommy bought me cactuses and cactus fruits from the expo, so she gave me some after I exercised outside. I forgave her for disturbing my nap.
Jacob, mommy's oldest child, got another milipede he named Goldie. Now he has two of them. They also saw many cute bearded dragons. They were pretty affordable, but the thought of having to take care of two enclosures just freaked her out. I didn't know that mommy had that much sense in her...LOL!
Well. ..mommy's working for the next three days, so here's a vote and I'll see you later. SB.Come visit me, SPONGELINA BALLERINA~Brrrr. ..it's gettin' chilly!!.

LIFE MUST GO ON...
I'm finally back. I was off for over a week, because we lost our frenchie Ziggy. I found her dead at our back yard. I was devastated! I cried so much...it was like losing a child! She was all swollen with blood coming out of her nose and mouth. The vet said it looked like a severe allergic reaction called an anaphylactic shock. She was probably bitten by an insect or stung by a bee. She was barely one year old...
We said our good byes...she lives in my heart forever...
On the lighter side, SB is getting HUGE! I just fished her out of the tunnel to soak her, and she could barely fit into her tub! I swear that I just soaked her a couple of days ago, and she wasn't this big.
We'll be going to our vacation on 8/11. Three nights at Disneyland Hotel and five nights at San Diego. Something to look forward to...
The two older ones are still in their summer camp, having lots of fun. The latest good movie I saw was Harry Potter.
Thanks for stopping by my page while I was gone. Here's a vote for you and I'll ttyl.Come visit me, SPONGELINA BALLERINA~Brrrr. ..it's gettin' chilly!!.

HOT! HOT! HOT!!!
We went to my monthly pug meetup this morning and we only stayed for 30 minutes. It was just too hot for the short nosed dogs. My Frenchie was making all kinds of nasal noises. There wasn't enough shade at the dog park.
We're going to Disneyland (AGAIN!) tomorrow. They open from 8 AM until midnight daily all summer, so we'll be there bright and early. That means I have to get up at the crack of dawn. Getting three kids ready and out of the house is a big time consuming job.
I was about to feed SB some fruits this morning. Good thing I didn't. I went on line and found out that fruits are not good for Leopard tortoises. I saw some photos of sick tortoises with deformed shells...it broke my heart! Bad diet can cause all kinds of problems. I don't think I feed SB accordingly (their diet should be 70% grass), but she seems to be healthy. I tried giving her grass, but she wouldn't eat it.
I don't wanna bore you more with my BLAH...BLAH...BLAH. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. Here's a vote for you and I see ya later.
PS. I hope your computer is now fixed.Come visit me, SPONGELINA BALLERINA~Brrrr. ..it's gettin' chilly!!.
