COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Kvak Adam ! Sorry I missed you.

Kvak!
Back now
Lesson on "The Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf. Went well, but no penguins in the novel.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

OT at base again tonight, this will be my 3rd 12hr shift in a row :/

It's ridiculous!
Still I hope you are being suitably remunerated.

Dear friends,

Unfortunately, I will be leaving the CDR — and to some extent TFO — shortly. As you know I have found a home for Kristoff and Elsa, and I will be giving them away in mid-March. The reason I’m doing this early is so that they get used to their new homes and the new owner can still have me around if she needs me at the first stages of adoption. She doesn’t speak much English, so I will be her main source of info at first.

I love you guys, and I never wanted to leave, but I think it will be heartbreaking to be here without my two guys.

@Tidgy's Dad : Adam, thank you for being the soul of the party wherever you go — even in the depths of the dying Gecko Forum. Thank you for organizing CDR events and for your kind words of encouragement.

@JoesMum : Linda, thank you for being ready to help and for sharing your experience.

@johnandjade : John, thank you for the music and for opening the CDR every morning.

@Bee62: Sabine, thank you for thinking out of the box.

@Gillian Moore : Gillian, thank you for being kind.

@Lyn W : Lyn, thank you for the puns.

@Moozillion : Bea, thank you for the baking.

@Momof4 : Kathy, thank you for your sympathetic ear and knockout pictures of your family outings.

@Yvonne G : thank you for being here and everywhere and for squashing those spammer monsters wherever you go.

@AZtortMom : thank you for the high fives.

@Grandpa Turtle 144 : thank you for the Bud.

@ZEROPILOT : Ed, thank you for being so relaxed about your Christmas gift being very late and for your cool attitude.

Everyone — apologies if I forgot anyone — thank you for the camaraderie and good cheer. Thank you for the stories. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being you.

I am gutted about this, but quite understand your feelings.
I will miss you so much, I have enjoyed your company and friendship over the last few months more than I can say and wish you all the best in the future.
Maybe one day, when you are more settled , and decide to get another tortoise friend you will return to us.
You will never be forgotten here, and we still have a month with Kristoff on the calendar.
Love to your family and Kristoff and Lena.
And most of all to you.
May your future be all that you could dream of.
It's been a pleasure and a privilege to know you.
Love,
Adam.

Collect and keep our Email information and don't lose contact.
Life goes on with or without tortoises and I for one like having as many friends as possible.

Some one from the paint shop just bought me this turtle.
It's either a map turtle or a painted turtle.
It was run over by a golf cart and I don't know how badly he's hurt.
I'm going to place him in one of my fish ponds when I get home and check his progress

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Well I wish I was fit enough to go to work I used to love my job :-(

I enjoyed working, too, and still do a little, now and again, but i choose what to do and when.
I understand your position, though, If I couldn't work, i'd want to.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

My job is GREAT.
It's so much easier than being home.
What did you do?

Doesn't seem too bad from this view.
Good luck with the little fellah and thanks, Ed.

What I know about turtles, you can fit in this paragraph.
His head and arms look very striped, but so far I haven't seen him with his head or arm out much. He doesn't look very damaged to me.
There are likely a dozen more of these over near the canal. This guy must have hitched a ride under a bird. He is about 200 yards away from the water.

Roomies can I just av some advise please my reptile vet as just rang me back as I requested a telephone call just to c if he semi to no what he was talking about and he says he's unable to advise what the problem is over the fone and he needs to c Clyde to get him xrayed check his mouth n nasal passages he also says that I need to up my temps to make sure it's warm and monitor him closely and if I notice any other problems i.e. Watery eyes nasal discharge laboured breathing loss of appetite to take him through he would discuss with me tho about antibiotic treatments if I need them do you think he sound like he is good
