Thank you!
I had to come to Dallas for surgery and I brought the kids because I’ll have to be here through Christmas for recovery. In fact, I had to admit to myself last night how detrimental holding him is to my recovery because he’s so freaking strong and such a handful....but it’s hard not to get excited about introducing him to family!

Thanks for the reply. I hope you enjoy your stay and have a full recovery. You’re right, it’s easy to forget the strength that these magnificent creatures have.
I grew up in Dallas and moved 120 miles East 30 years ago. I just couldn’t handle the traffic any longer. I know it is nothing compared to L. A. I was in L.A. a few years back and made the mistake of leaving for San Diego on a Friday afternoon. WOW! I now know what true gridlock is. It took over 5 hours to just go 100 miles. I reckon Dallas isn’t so bad after all.
You picked a good time to visit, the weather will turn cooler soon.
Get Well,
Best
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Dear lord! Going ANYWHERE on a Friday afternoon is a nightmare! You only have to make that mistake once.
And thank you! I am grateful to be able to take a break and be with family through all this (and grateful my mom allowed me to bring two snakes into her house). No way I could get through it on my own. Luckily, I was able to sublet my LA apartment while I’m gone so I don’t get stuck

Wanted to get a good video of his behavior, but he got too excited and I didn’t want him to strike at the glass and hurt himself.

Great photos! I can sure see why you love this guy, he's magnificent! (& good luck with your recovery & all too)

That’s a funny feeding story! He’s such a character.
I really enjoy seeing the updates of him, and Love the pics too!
