COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

Trying to get rid of my Redfoot babies shows that they are as desirable in south Florida as Cancer. Or a case of Herpes.
So this morning they all went to Beverlys pet center in Hollywood for very cheap. I also gave the owner some TFO care sheets and found that he already knows about soaking and uses a tube uvb.
Just like that. I'm OUT of the breeding business.
It is irresponsible to breed tortoises in this market.

it's a shame as you are such a good breeder and responsible/ caring seller. i completely understand your position and decision.

hope mommy ed is doing well

It seems like everyone has baby Redfoot they are trying to unload.
I had no idea.
I just don't want to make babies that no one wants and will not be taken care of.

that's why i ain't got kids

 

[Linhdan Nguyen]

I would hate to let the little babies go also ! But of course, I understand why it needed to be done.

Kids are awesome, most of the time. Little boogers !

it's a nos da from me. around 5hrs tomorrow for a mate from work.. £50 with potential of up sale to £80.

i have and am, leaving him to wait in my house, jade plays hostess making tea before she goes to visit her mum. i wouldn't and wouldn't do this for many people. i am also taking on jades dads car and potentially working on having use of a garage and pitch across the road! so another freebie:/

it's been a long, very hard road but it's all working out now , i'm in demand

told my boss i want to speak with him... i want a wage rise or DE MOTED and drop in wage. i still try to live by eds vets 'work smarter, not harder' mantra \m/\m/

saturday is £50 to run base for 4 hrs, one valeter who was warned yesterday and still late today. 2 in wash bay, one guy is solid, the other a new guy... 40 cars. i could have done one car for myself in 4hrs for £200

Hello Ed,
I am sorry to read that no one wants your cute little baby torts. I hope they all get a good new owner.

 

[Bee62]

I get that. It is for the best, heart-breaking as it is.

Yes it`s heartbreaking to give the babies away in an unknown future. It is a good decision not to breed anymore.

 

[Bee62]

But these babies had been already hatched and I bought them to give them a healthy, tort worth life.
My new shelled family members, two Testudo Hermanni, hatched October 2016:

And today all my torts had been outside for the first time.

Best wishes, Ed- you are so much more responsible than so many tort owners!

Hubby helped a friend with some photography issues, and the friend gave him a bag of home grown blueberries and a big bag of frozen, freshly caught trout fillets as a thank you!
Hubby drove home for about 20 min with the bag of frozen fish on the floor of his car, and as soon as he got home we stuck them in the freezer- no problems, right?
The next day, when hubby got in his car to drive to a job, it STUNK of fish!!!! Either the bag had a tiny tear that allowed some fishy ice to leak out and melt, or the bag may have had fishy water on the outside, which melted into his car. Poor hubby pulled out the mats, treated them with the enzyme odor remover that we use when the cats have an accident, but it's no use! Even when the mats are NOT IN THE CAR you can smell the fishy odor from outside!!!! He'll get it detailed on Monday, and HOPEFULLY they can get the odors out!!!!!
Any suggestions, John??? @johnandjade

Good morning all. The sun is out again.

We're off to the in-laws with daughter.

Mother in law is getting over-stressed about daughter's move. She cannot see that Southampton isn't on another planet or any less safe than anywhere else daughter has travelled to or lived in over since she left school 5 years ago. Daughter will be 24 in October

We are not mentioning that son is going to a music festival tomorrow... after Manchester that would finish MIL off completely.

 

[JSWallace]

I was out with the dog yesterday and came across this gate to the footpath, those are stinging nettles!!! I just loved that the orange sign said that the path had been improved by the ramblers!!! I took a different route!

Oweee! A different route was a wise decision!

Morning all, yet another beautiful morning here today. I am off to fetch my daughter from Uni, she finished her finals yesterday. She seems to have spent so long studying I don't think she will.know what to do with herself now!

The world is her lobster - and full of possibilities!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning all. I am also on the road today. We are heading to King's Lynn in north Norfolk for the funeral of my godmother's husband.

It's not exactly the weather for formal clothes so we have shorts (US short pants?) and T-shirts with us to change into for the trip home.

My godmother has now been admitted to a residential home due to her dementia - she probably won't be present.

That's very sad but probably for the best as I'm sure she would be very confused.
Hope it all went OK.

 

[Lyn W]

You have earned the rest

We're done with the funeral and the wake. Back at my cousin's now for a cuppa before going home.

My godmother had no idea who I was and looked surprised when I said I was my Mum's daughter. She did however know who my Mum was and sent her love to her

It's a terrible disease - robs us of loved ones before our eyes.
Sad to think of memories being erased but glad she remembers your mum.
