Don't say...it comes in 3's.
All this talk about our ungrateful pets must have kick-started some kind of karmic lesson....
On Saturday arvo one of the guinea pigs was involved in an innocent accident and as a result now cannot operate it's back legs....of course I immediately paniced screaming loudly that we have to get it to an after-hours vet - NOW !!! Leesy was more relaxed suggesting we wait until the morning to make any decision.
Following this, later that evening - one of the kids cracked the massive turtle tank while trying to put the marble chess board back in place. The drips of stinky reptile water started to leak out - it was then I knew I had to empty the entire tank and secure the turtle "Barry" in alternative accommodation. This took an hour - but hey - I surprised myself by not needing to make the whole family suffer.
The tank is fixable with some clear silicone sealant...but the guinea pig - that remains to be seen. Leesy suggested I fashion a mini-chariot to attach to it's back half.
