Hi Adam

Hi Adam

Good evening, ccl.

 

[Bee62]

I have a question: Who is Tidgy ? Your tort ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I have a question: Who is Tidgy ? Your tort ?

Yup.
It means very small in English, usually used by children.
wifey took the initials of Testudo graeca graeca and instead of "Tiggy' came out with "Tidgy" by mistake. I liked it, so it stuck.
My gorgeous calendar girl.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I have a question: Who is Tidgy ? Your tort ?

And we don't, and never will, have children, so she's a surrogate for us. She gets all the love it's possible for us to give.
Therefore, i'm Tidgy's dad.

 

[Bee62]

Ah, I understand. A nice name. Sounds nice, small, like a little child.
Does Tidgy hibernate now ?

 

[Bee62]

I have no children too. My animals are my children !

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Ah, I understand. A nice name. Sounds nice, small, like a little child.
Does Tidgy hibernate now ?

No.
I can't bear the thought of not seeing her for so long.
I overwinter her.

It`s says that these torts need hibernating. But 20 years ago I have had 2 greek tortoises. They never hibernate and always doing well and healthy.
Up to the time my mom used poison against ants in our house. One of or beloved torts died. The other one died a year later because of an respiration infection.
That still makes me sad. The two tortoises lived long in my family.

I went to the post office today to mail calendars, and stopped by to pick up my mail. I must admit, the card exchange has been a lot of fun for me. I received more cards in today's batch of mail. And I didn't have to actually go to Scotland to get a souvenir from there!! If you look closely, you can see it:

Some say it shortens their lifespan, others that it makes no difference. But frankly if she lives to be ninety instead of 150, who's to know ?
I will probably let her sleep for a week or two in January, as in warm years, some of the native Greeks only hibernate for a fortnight or so anyway.
I'm very sorry about your Greeks.
