COLD DARK ROOM

It IS awesome news, because that species of tortoise is VERY scarce here in the States.

I know. Hopefully if Chris and Dan are successful with their incubation methods then they will become less scarce.

Hey friends how's everyone? Just got home from a 11 hour day and my butt is wooped! I have to tell myself daily, only about 28 more years till retirement! Everyday I get home Murphy reminds me I finished my breakfast now it's snack time Hooooman!

Shame. I am at the stage where i am also looking forward to retirement. Only another 20 years for me.[emoji17] How is snap doing?

 

[CarolM]

When the day finally comes I'll probably go stir crazy. Will probably need quite a few hobbies, I'm not the type to sit still anyway.

Lol. The difference is .... that you will enjoy them and you won't have to do them. You could do whatever you choose to.

 

[CarolM]

No excuse needed to enjoy each other's company as well as yummy tea then!!

Absolutely

 

[CarolM]

Thanks he could be a she too but for right now he's a he lol. He recently started marbling, completely unexpected! I'm super excited to see how it turns out though.View attachment 252499

Hmmm. Looks good. I also want to see how it turns out.

We ended up with a lovely sunny autumn day!

Yayyyy

 

[CarolM]

Hi Milly - hope they left you some tasty meaty scraps!

Unfortunately Milly has a weight problem and sensitive skin so she does not get any table scraps.

 

[CarolM]

Sending you a warm hug back Carol I think you need it more than me at the moment

I love warm hugs. Thank you.

One of my Slider Turtles decided to show me he was a boy a few months back and I seriously thought I was going to need a therapist after witnessing that!

G’day All

After so many days of rain, the forecasters predicted SUN shine today, so I popped over to one of my favorite locations and got out #kayaking for a good four hours. Fall is definitely on the horizon - many acorns falling from the mighty oaks, leaves turning, the once bright green marsh grasses are yellowing, a lot more ducks and geese hiding out. One Bald Eagle spotted and snapped. More pix to follow.......

The Start of a Great Day

Just beautiful

 

[CarolM]

Good morning all. Another chilly night with a slight frost and another forecast High in the low 20s C

I am heading south to Cranbrook shortly for a full day of meetings about public exam data for the schools in our Trust.

There’s not much mobile signal in rural Kent, so I won’t be around much again, sorry.

Good luck

 

[CarolM]

Oh it’s gonna happen!!!! He just left this morning for two weeks so I got plenty of time to familiarize myself with it (she says with an evil grin and a gleam in her eyes ) !!!!

Oh dear. The sweet temptations.

 

[Bee62]

Oh geez! Knowing how much I love food and eating, I'll bet that's pretty hard for him mentally

It is, but he lost the ability to eat like we can eat over years. At last only very well mashed liquid food that he can drink with a drinking straw was possible.
He often aspirated this liquid food into the lungs and was living with the fear of getting pneumonia. The gastrical tube is the only way for him to overlive, but yes, he is missing the taste of food.

 

[CarolM]

Good morning!!! Hope everyone is geared for a great day.. my human family of 6 dropped to 4 today for a couple weeks so it will just be a depressing day until I get over it.. tomorrow I’ll probably appreciate the quietness... several appointments for work today but it shouldn’t run late so I might get my house back in order tonight... maybe...

Good luck. And enjoy as much peace as you can while you can.

[Bee62]

Almost done paddling....and I saw this beautiful scene.

Perfect Ending to a Days Paddling

Yes, it is really beautiful and peaceful. I can imagine why you like your trips on the water so much.

 

[CarolM]

Hello roomies how is everyone keeping

Hi There Laura.

We are all good on this side. How is it on your end?
