I'll tell him so. He came with shell problems. I did everything wrong. I ordered him online etc etc etc...I could have sent him back supposedly but once I got my little tortoise I wasn't about to give him up to face more crap. We've been together working on 13 years.

Good afternoon... I worked from home today so I got to see Toretto out grazing finally! It’s unusually warm at 78F and very humid. I put the youngsters out to graze as well... and boy did they graze! Now, I’m sitting in the car line waiting for my son to get out of school...you should hear the snoring coming from my back seat!!!!
Hope everyone is having a pleasant day!
It's really humid here also. So much so...we haven't had to run a humidifier much yet in the living room. Normally I would this time of year.

Oh my God...you are making me want a dog so bad. Or is Cinder? I would not be able to resist a miniature Pomeranian either.
I could fall in love with almost any breed but Cinder is an English bulldog.. they are probably one of the most high maintenance breeds you can get but also have a lot of combined qualities that other dogs don’t offer... My grandmother loved all breeds of bulldogs. She had a boxer that was a favorite before my time and then two Boston terriers at one point. There was an English bulldog before them all that was the love of her life.. I think hearing all of her stories really stuck...at any rate, Cinder has proved to be everything I hoped for and a few of the things I didn’t...

Yes. I really like boxers and have been around bulldogs too. Both are so nice.

I know a few Pomeranians and in spite of being very cute they are all very lively little dogs who need lots of exercise and entertainment, they are yappy and their hair clogs the vacuum cleaners so they need grooming everyday! They are very cuddly but quite high maintenance and not the quiet little lap dogs you would expect. So resist, Cathie, resist!!

I know...but it's so hard. They remind me of my bunnies. Except Razberri. She's so laid back she can be somewhat boring...or is she just sneakier...

I have a little sprout popping up. It's from a spineless prickly pear I planted more then a year ago from info from @all my friends on TFO...tickled me this morning. The other one sprouted the same year it was planted. This one tried to fool me. 15792213503441946234129.jpg

What a beautiful place.
I have repotted a couple of my orchids to see if I can encourage more flowers this year, but they won't be anything like those.

Even the gents loo is looking pretty nice, decked out with white orchids at the wash basins!
