Early Riser This Morning

[Len B]

With the chilly weather Walker has been sleeping in to at least noon. This morning he got up with the sun, It was 36 F and he was wandering about, so I went out to what was up. I got in front of him, he stopped and just looked at me, so I got some cactus pads and then he was happy.. We have already risen up to the mid 50s with full sun so he will probably be out for quit a while today. He has a warm house to retreat to when he gets cold. The 3 temps inside his house are 84, 92, and 93F.

I'm glad Maggie's having computer trouble and can't get online. Those pictures of walker, especially the second one, look so much like Bob.

Good job on the pictures. I love the close-ups. And he doesn't seem to have a bit of trouble biting off pieces of cactus.

Nice Len... Walker is looking happy as ever.

It's noon and he's been out over 3 hours, it's 54 F and his shell temps range from 73 to 77, we don't have a cloud in sight, Even though the sun is lower in the sky it still has some good radiant heat effect.

Wow he sure is a handsome fella!
Such bright, eyes. They say so much.

This shows the importance of inner core body temperature. Takes quite a while for that inner core to start cooling down.

Yesterday just before Walker went in for the night about 4:30 I checked his shell temps and it read 67 F everywhere. Our high temp was 61 F. Here he is plowing through some leaves to get to me as soon as he spotted me. This morning he was back out by 9 am to start another nice day. We are in the mid 40s F and still no clouds yet.
