I nearly died.

Taken just before we left, the other day. Stumpp did so well with all the people and the kids who had a million questions. She got home to some freshly cleaned water and a big meal.

Proud of my snappy ambassador, and proud of all the kids who were so well behaved.

Video cut out right before Stumpp ran into a semi and caused an 8 car pile-up.

This is how Stumpp travels when I do shows. She likes to stand up and stare at people.

The show was great. Lots of kids who, at the best, learned something about common snapping turtles. At worst, they now feel way too safe around snapping turtles and are in for a bad time. The kids that didn't pay attention will be easy to spot. Just listen for the yelling.

Winner gets a frozen mouse.

A convention I'll be educating people on CSTs is coming up, so I thought I'd make a sign for Stumpp's wagon that leads to her newly created Instagram page.

People have been pushing for me to make one for her for years, but I finally pulled the trigger. 🤷‍♂️

Sizing up the monster.

I barely escaped this Stumpp interaction with my life! PTSD, post traumatic stumpp disorder is practically guaranteed!

'MERICA!

Stumpp and I in-between our 4th of July pics, that I'll be posting tomorrow.

Stumpp is enjoying this Florida sun a LOT more than my ginger ass is.

Working today, so I'm not able to take a new pic of Stumpp and I for Father's Day, but here's one from last year.

Stumpp (not so) patiently waiting for her food.

Cleaning Stumpp's filter today, so I placed her in the garden jail. I took a break (Florida heat is brutal) and sat on the steps. I look over and there she is, just staring.

Stumpp and I in the Florida heat for a bit today. I haven't posted in a bit due to work craziness. But Stumpp and I are doing good.

Made a spot for a poster in my horror movie room, and created a mini-stop sign for it. Pretty happy with how it came out.

So I sent a help request days ago to a seller asking for a refund due to some very misleading information and the fact that the item is still not even remotely close to arriving, and it is looking like it won't be any time soon... if at all.

I messaged them/started the process back on the 13th. Seller has been unhelpful, refusing to help in any way. So I've been waiting for days now so that I can open a case on the 20th. And I woke up today ready to do so and... it's grey. Today is May 20th. I've done all of the right steps.

Why can I not open a case?

Stumpp's big ol' melon. Decided to take her outside thia morning while I did some maintenance on her pump.
