The human family are fine thank you Sabine. Go on over to my thread Kang and Rue, you will be able to see what is happening with my tort family there.Happy Monday, Carol. I hope you, your family and critters are fine.
Thank you Carol. Yes they are.
I go over. Hopefully no bad things has happend.
Welcome, Berta! You probably don’t have enough hours in the day, Bee! Busy Bee... [emoji173]️
It’s really sad. The lady who died helped build the synagogue and saved the rabbi.
Thank goodness people stepped up to help because it would have been way worse.
Just weird seeing people you know on National news.
Right. Mark will bring the wood to carve a bowl and Carol will bring the chocolate to eat all by herself. We all know how that works! [emoji849][emoji23]
Since it’s such a big area that we need to fence in to keep my dogs out, my husband said we have to use chain link. Not my first choice, so we will put wood or something along the bottom.
Thank you. Berta is a pure greek stray dog puppy

Tortie's Story continued:
So off go Tortie and Loses Tail to have a nice long soak and to talk to Wise One. Soon they arrive at the pond and Tortie sees Lucky talking to Wise One.
Tortie: Oh Look there is Lucky.
Loses Tail: Who is Lucky?
Tortie: Well Lucky is a garden dwarf, he told me himself and he only arrived in the garden yesterday. He came to the pond to introduce himself to Wise One.
Loses Tail: Mmmm, well I need to go and talk to Wise One to find out if she know where I lost my last tail. Maybe she an also tell me how to stop losing them.
So off walks Loses Tail to talk to Wise One and Tortie goes and climbs into the shallow end of the pond. He chose a spot where there are some plants so that he can hide by them while he soaks, just in case the bird comes past again. But when he gets to his spot, he sees that Snelly is there by the plant having some food to eat.
Tortie: Hello Snelly, How are you today? When I woke up and came out of my burrow you were already gone. What have you been doing this morning?
Snelly: Hello Tortie, I am nice a warm and having some yummy food to eat. Sorry I left early, but I woke up early and was hungry. I tried waking you up, but you
wouldn’t wake up. So I left and went looking for food.
Tortie: Oh Okay. No problem. I made two new friends today. Lucky – who is a garden dwarf and Loses Tail who is a lizard. They both seem very nice. I almost
ate Loses Tail. He is green like the grass and I did not see him while I was eating the grass.
After 30minutes, Tortie decided that he had enough soaking in the pond and decided to try and make it to the south side of the garden while there was still sunlight available.
Tortie: I am going to visit the south side of the garden do you want to go with me?
Snelly: Sure, I don’t mind coming with you. But won’t I slow you down?
Tortie: You can ride on my back if you like. Then you won’t be slowing me down at all.
Snelly: Great. Lets go.
Snelly and Tortie get to the other side of the garden and look around. They find that there are lots of dandelion, clover and plantain weeds on this side of the garden. In fact it seems that there are far more weeds on this end than there are on the north side. But there is only one problem. There is a barrier there and they cannot get to them.
Tortie: I wonder why there are more weeds and yummy foods on this end of the garden? Why are we not able to get through this barrier to get them?
Snelly: I am not sure. Lets walk along the barrier and see if we an see any openings to get through.
Tortie and Snelly walk along the barrier for a while until they come across a hole in the barrier.
Tortie: Yayyyyy, this hole is perfect and we can go through to the other side. I want to try those yummy weeds. They look much greener and yummier than the
ones that we have on this side.
Snelly: I know what you mean. Okay lets go.
Tortie with Snelly still on his back gets through the hole and walks further into the garden with all the yummy weeds. Snelly and he both start munching on the yummy weeds when they hear this very loud and strange noise. Woof Woof Woof. They both look up and see coming towards them this HUGE creature. It has very nasty looking teeth and it is running on four legs.
Tortie: Quick Snelly I don’t like the look of this creature. It is very scary. Climb on my back, we need to get back through the hole very quickly.
They just make it back through the hole in time. When they turn around there is this nose trying to get through the hole, but the hole is too small for the creature to get through.
Tortie: Excuse me scary creature, What are you and are you dangerous?
Watch Dog: Why do you want to know little tasty morsel?
Tortie: Well you see I am new in the garden and I am trying to meet all the creatures in it.
Watch Dog: Let me tell you something. I am a dog and I am the watch dog of this garden. I protect this garden from all who come inside. And I warn you to stay on
your side of the garden, otherwise I will eat you. In fact why don’t you come back here, so that I can eat you. That way I won’t have to worry about you
trying to get back into my garden again!!
Tortie: Well!!!!! You are a very nasty creature. And don’t worry I will be staying on my side of the garden. Thank you very much.
Watch Dog: Well remember what I told you. STAY ON YOUR SIDE OF THE GARDEN AND I WON’T HAVE TO EAT YOU!!
Tortie ignores the dog and with Snelly on his back walks back to the pond. Both Tortie and Snelly vow never to go back there again. Their own garden is much safer.
So off go Tortie and Loses Tail to have a nice long soak and to talk to Wise One. Soon they arrive at the pond and Tortie sees Lucky talking to Wise One.
Tortie: Oh Look there is Lucky.
Loses Tail: Who is Lucky?

She's very cute. It's wonderful to have a canine companion. I'd be lost without mine.

Anybody have any experience keeping hornworms? I got a few to grow and feed to my gecko... But now I'm having some issues with them.
