So... Does the cat think he's a tortoise, or does the tortoise think he's a cat? Or have they noticed yet?

Even when you are celebrating your birthday there should be time to pop in for a short timeNo sure. But he is probably celebrating.
Pffff, the tortoise on the pic is artificial !So... Does the cat think he's a tortoise, or does the tortoise think he's a cat? Or have they noticed yet?
So right. And having friends all over the world is wonderful.Lena is Russian and currently living in Denmark... she is used to cold... although I think she misses the warmth of Turkey which is where she was living when she found the CDR
It’s brilliant in here. You can travel the world just by using your computer, phone or tablet
Well, it would explain why they're in such close proximity! I should have paid closer attention... I guess I was distracted by the position of the cat's tail... making sure the tortoise wasn't getting tagged!Pffff, the tortoise on the pic is artificial !
German winters are not as cold.I haven’t seen a Canadian winter yet. Might regret wanting to move there after experiencing the first one! [emoji23]

Right ! I like the way you are thinking.Well, if it gets too cold, just put another cat on the bed!
I am sad that Adam left us alone here. He has lost a good friend of him that died but that is not the only reason he left us.I know how you feel Yvonne. It looks like Adam truly has deserted us now. We haven’t been invited to party with him at all this year.
He said he didn’t feel like he belonged here any more, turned up to tell us of Jane’s visit and then disappeared.
I just hope he really is OK and happy because I feel very sad that someone who I thought was my (and our) friend has decided to just walk away.
The CDR has been very flat since his disappearance and what he said to Sabine made things seem worse to me not better
No, that dog seems to be an American bulldog.On second thought, he looks nothing like him. Amazing what your memory does as you get older:
I'll bet he;s not even a pit!
The lady was unable to discipline the dog. She must have done something wrong because German Shepards are easy to discipline. I think that the dog thinks he is the "leader" and has to protect the lady. My dogs know that they are not the leader but I am their leader !I just took in 2018 Rescue #56:

Another male. Where the heck are all the female sulcatas? This one had to be given up because a German Shepherd had become protective of the female head of household and wouldn't allow the tortoise near the lady. He had grabbed ahold of the shell just above the tortoise's head (you can see a roughness) and wouldn't let go. The lady squirted the dog with the hose, but he kept going back and biting the tortoise. She says the dog tortoise relationship was ok until the tortoise came too close to the lady.

I feel like I've done something wrong, or said something to offend him. And I'm sure the rest of you take it personally too. Each of us has the freedom to do what we want, to stay or leave, but there's just something off about Adam's leaving.

It's such a shame, especially from a long term perspective. That sulcata could live to see many generations of dogs (hopefully from a distance).
I have to wonder if it's a younger dog, too... Just coming into his own, reaching full size, trying to solidify his place in the pack.
Maybe Tom has a tortoise safety training program for canines? Seems like there's a market for it.

They would never dare to bite a tortoise or a cat !
