[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1934854, member: 89387"] Hi... Nice to hear from you. I was wondering how you were coping with the depression... I'm sure you took good care of Vash and gave him 10 good years. I hope you have some sweet memories of him. Old age takes us all, sooner or later, but that doesn't mean we don't miss them when they're gone. Puff is my first and last beardie, because it won't be fair for my husband to get stuck with all the hard work again if we get another one. So we plan to cherish Puff and take as good care of him as possible for whatever time he has left. He's around 8 years old now and also gained some weight. He's up above 500 grams again and eating well. Still napping in his hide about every other day, and there he goes right now. It's cloudy and rainy today so he has an excuse. They're predicting rain for the holiday, but my husband is off at noon today and on "staycation" next week. "We" are going to try and get some things done around the house, but it's going to be mostly him because I'm crippled up with my left knee, which suddenly decided to go on strike, apparently because of an old injury from a fall -- you probably know that you sometimes don't realize that you got hurt until sometime later. I'm limping around a 625 square foot house which has suddenly gotten larger -- it's a long way from the bedroom to the computer. I'm hoping that it will heal up on it's own without having to do anything more drastic than rest and NSAIDs, but it's not looking too good, although X-rays didn't show anything too serious. I went to the doctor in a wheelchair because I couldn't do the long walk down the hall to his office. I'm only 63. I was hoping that my body wouldn't start falling apart quite this early. Either way, getting old sucks. So because of all these mobility issues and the fear of another fall, I no longer take Puff out of his tank unless my husband is home, just in case. Neither Puff nor my husband seem to mind much. My husband likes cuddles with both Puff and me, but if I'm totally honest with myself, Puff probably tolerates cuddles but can take it or leave it, so maybe I shouldn't feel so bad that he's getting a little neglected when Daddy's not home. Puff doesn't seem to mind much -- he's mellow to the point of being almost listless, probably because he's getting older, and God only knows what role the adenovirus is playing in all of this. At least he seems reasonably healthy, other than slowing down a bit. Ooooh -- TLDR. :oops: Happy Birthday. :D I hope you feel better soon. [/QUOTE]
