COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

Why not? What is stopping you from enjoying it?

Depression for some reason

I took these photos with all of you in mind yesterday and then forgot to post them:-(

It was very interesting but good i suppose lol how about yourself?

I have had a good day too and now I have 4 days without working and that is fine !

Little Harry is also my problem tort. He grows at a very slow pace. Nothing like my other ones.

It is definitely cold there at night. I'll send lots of get warm thoughts your way.

Thank you Carol. Warm thoughts and hugs are always welcome. I`ll send you some rain that we will get soon.
Maybe your Harry is a bonsai tort too.

Redfoots do grow way slower than other torts. Are they together? One could be bullying the other.

They had been together. The one who don`t grows was my first tortoise and I got it from a craiglist. I am not sure if the prevíous owner kept him right. I seperated them some times ago but no result. The little one don`t grows and the other one that I bought from a good breeder grows and grows.

I knocked off another yard inspection today and the people came this afternoon and took home a very nice male desert tortoise. That leaves me with one 65 pound male sulcata, one juvenile-almost-adult m? f? desert tortoise and 6 yearling desert tortoises. I also have three hatchlings, but I don't adopt them out until they're a year old. I was worried I was going to have to hibernate all those desert tortoises - at one time, not too long ago, I had about 20 of them!

Nothing new on the road widening in front of my house. Still wrangling over where they want to put my driveway. So far they're still in the engineering/right-of-way stage. Next comes the $$$ stage. Once I get the finalized copy of where the boundary/property line is, I'll have a fence company come and estimate how much to build a new fence at the new property line, an estimate on how much to make a new driveway (decomposed granite, gravel, etc or maybe even cement), what my full size trees that they tear down are worth, what my full size, mature cacti are worth. . . I wonder if I can add onto all that pain and suffering of the property owner. Hm-m-m-m

The city should be paying for and installing a new fence for you.
They are putting up nice block wall for the people who lost part of their yard for our widening.
Wouldn’t you love a nice 6’ block wall?
It sure would cut down traffic noise.

I hope you don’t lose your old driveway.

I don't like being in the water. I can't stand the idea of fish sharing my water. I hate my face being splashed. I can't swim good enough to stay alive. I don't like the water! BUT. . . I really want to go kayaking!!!

That is funny !

Good evening CDR. I hope all my roomies are all well, busy and happy.

Me too. After 3 days of working I have 4 days "off duty". My torts are all fine. The sullies grow and grow. They need a bigger enclosure soon. My little greeks are active. They don`t know that it gets cold outside. No hibernation for them.
I have two redfoots. One is growing well but the other is my little problem child. He doesen`t grow ! He eats, walkes around in his enclosure and is not sick, but he doesen`t grow. He is my Bonsai tortoise !
Ma & Mo are well too. They are not as active as little sulcatas or greeks but they eat and walk around and bask.
That is a short summery of what`s going on with my torts.

Nights are cold here in Germany: 3 - 4 C. Day temps around 15 C. I miss the warmth of summer even now. I am a "summer child" not a snowwoman. I think that my cats and the torts feel the same.

I wish you all a good evening.

Good night Sabine! I love to read your tortoise updates! I hope the stubborn one gets with the program soon.

 

[EllieMay]

Well good night everyone. Until another day.

‘Night Carol!

 

[Toddrickfl1]

Please do. Snap is such a cute little guy. I love reading his updates.

Snap is doing great and not such a little guy anymore. Hes quite the beggar when it comes to food, and has become the most fearless, tamest turtle I have.

Well that sounds like a full time job all by itself! I’m excited to see you new fence and driveway..

Although the little book on the bed says: "One lucky duck" I see one lucky cat on your first pic.
"Somewhere over the rainbow" .....

Nice, I haven’t seen a rainbow in ages!!

I think Gods been smiling at me a lot lately cause they have been popping up everywhere for me lately...(I have to think this way so I don’t cry over all the dang rain!)

How’s the fig cutting coming?

Hello roomies how is everyone keeping

Hi Laura good to see you in here.
Hope all is well with you

 

[Lyn W]

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

Shame, but then table scraps aren't good for pooches anyway so better for her to go without and have doggie treats.

 

[Lyn W]

I love warm hugs. Thank you.

You're welcome!

I would certainly add on a claim for stress and all the upset and inconvenience this is causing. I believe you can buy fencing now in the UK that does reduce the noise of traffic so I would research that then get them to pay for it.

You would enjoy canoeing where they raft two together to make them more stable.
We do this for some of the more nervous kids when we go out and they love it.
