Sapphire got to go out today for the day. I always plant him in his basking water plant saucer when I bring him inside.😉 today he so enjoyed it. He drank a lot, sat awhile, and then waltzed off into his enclosure. Mr Fre got to go out on his leash when I took Sapphire out. Again when I brought Sapphire in. Also when I did some outside chores. He really enjoyed being outside ❤️ Dilly is being himself. A lazy old cat with his best friend. My lazy brother. The two of them are peas in a pod 🫛.😊

Sue how is George these days?
He seems fine Thankyou. Opted not to take him for the blood test so just keeping an eye on him. He’s getting old bless him & has a heart murmur so trying to encourage a stress free as possible life but he still thinks he’s King of the street 😻
The budgies have been squabbling a bit tonight I think. Every so often there’s a kerfuffle in the cage & George races over with intent watching eagerly. The new budgie Dusty is very spooky & I don’t know if it is squabbling or her just getting spooked about something. It’s definitely her though. The towel is over them so I can’t see when it happens.
Perhaps she’s having a bad dream that a big beady eyed tabby cat is staring at her. Hope they’re ok…zzzzzz

Good evening again everyone!

I was chatting to the new neighbours who said that the previous neighbour owed £6500 in council tax bringing a total debt of £13500!

Natrah
I forgot to say that the former neighbours were there for five years!

Good evening everyone!

Sue I hope Dusty's okay today. I have been out most of the day so it's only right that I should come home to a massive mess💩

Goodnight everyone

She seems her usual self today thanks.
Talking of messes this is what Dickie did this morning before I put her outside. I could hear her banging about when I was still upstairs!

I have changed from some newspaper to the big brown yard scrap bags. I just cut them to fit the area that I use paper. Sapphire can't do that anymore 😉 the thick brown paper can also be wiped a bit before you have to change it out.😊

Dear Cathie,

I remember when you recommended carpet strips for Jacky and Daisy to walk on. They have been magnificent and easy to clean.

Thankyou so much

Thanks! I’ll be glad when our weather improves enough for her to live outside which is where her house is. The indoor enclosure is only temporary but this year it’s been temporary for two & a half months so far as she woke a bit early!
I also tried the carpet strips but the shop I got them from had to close. They certainly helped her grip as she moved about.

Good evening everyone!

Sue I bought mine from Pets At Home and I think they sell them online as well. I hope everyone's okay. I have my dental checkup on Tuesday and then I need to organise Jacky's checkup. I gave her enclosure a good clean after yesterday's massive mess and I also looked at my state pension online. Yes there are some gaps and so I need to phone up and eventually pay. However I need to get on with other things as well like watching Secret Garden.

Goodnight everyone

I loved the book Secret Garden as a child!

I saved mine so I still have it. I also like the big brown paper yard waste bags though too. Sapphire can still walk around easily. Usually as soon as I clean the area up he baptises 💩🤔it though. It's heavy brown paper so it can be cleaned a few times and he's just a little fella. Then just throw it away or compost it. Here our city sanitation asks you to put your yard waste in them and they pick it up for you. They're pretty cheap and easily found in our stores. They then compost it bag and all.😊

Good evening everyone!

Sapphire I like to bury myself under the carpet strips but Natrah sometimes comes along and pulls me out. Zola, Dickie and Edward do you do this? Natrah has her dental checkup tomorrow and another ear suction appointment on Saturday so I'm going to do what like in her absence!

Goodnight everyone

Jacky, Angel Daisy and Natrah

Dear Jackie,
You better behave yourself for a few days if you can 😉. I'm sure you'll be good at it at least if you don't. 😂 I'm also sure your mom will be happy if you're being your honest to goodness self.😉😁💩 and stuff so I hope your mom's days go well anyway 😊
Love Sapphire.

Good evening everyone!

I hope you're all okay! My day was supposed to be as follows. I was supposed to be getting on with the washing and doing a lot of cleaning before going to the pupils but it started a bit later than anticipated because after saying good morning to everyone I was unable to give Jacky her breakfast straight away due to a leaking tortoise! This meant that the first thing I had to do was to clean her enclosure!

Goodnight everyone

Know exactly what you mean! Dickie has been doing toilets in her bed area on her way out into the enclosure. She then does another wee where she stops. All before having my breakfast!
Dickie is eating well & is gaining weight. Still have to get her started & throughout the day prompt her to eat with more fresh food. Plenty of dandelions about & sunshine. She doesn’t like it too hot & this Spring weather we’re having is just right for her. Happy lazy tortoise at the moment!
Hope your ear suction goes ok on Saturday. How often does it need doing? Is it connected to your sinus problems?

Good evening everyone!

Yes it's the same with Jacky but I'm hoping to get her out again soon. They keep saying it's getting warmer here but I needed the heating on at lunchtime. Cathie, Edward and Angie how is it for you three. Yes my sinuses have been affecting my ears. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I better go as the bus is due.

Goodnight everyone

Natrah, Jacky and Angel Daisy

PS: Angie and Zola I've noticed a robin family.
