COLD DARK ROOM

He suffered a serious of small strokes and now he's having a hard time getting up,walking, etc by himself. He's made a little progress so far though.

Oh goodness me! Terribly sorry to hear that.

And wishing your dad a speedy recovery.

Oh yes I do know what you mean.

When I take Oli out for a "walk" you should see the way people crowd around us, particularly children. Here in the Middle East VERY FEW are those who have pets.This is mainly due to the fact that buying a pet and keeping it costs a real lot. This, only the filthy rich can afford, here. Moreover they buy dogs only so as to guard their villas luxurious cars and property. In this case the dog is not a pet any more.

I agree with you [emoji817] gotta love Tortoises [emoji119]

It sounds like progress is frustratingly slow

Hey everybody how's things going here in this cold dark place? Haven't been on much I've been super busy with everything. Not much progress with my father so it's been kind of tough lately. Hope everythings going well for everyone and their torts are healthy and most importantly Happy! Here is a pic of Murphy smiling for the camera

Three 11-year-old tortoises - Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise - were stolen along with a 24-year-old male tortoise called Jeffery.

They were taken on the night of Wednesday 22 August after thieves are believed to have gained entry into a shed at the rear entrance of Kingston Maurward College, near Dorchester.

Hello and welcome!
When my husband asked me why I wanted a tort so bad, my response to him was "I want to have my own dinosaur that will out-live me."

That makes sense, particularly for very emotional people.

Luckily enough, I am not at all an emotional person. I believe it can be tiring. (Pleas don't take my words personal).

And after a good three plus hours, we stopped for some snacks, drinks and leg stretching.

Not a Bad Beach for a Stop

When we lived in Texas my husband had an old massive tractor for cutting and hay bailing. He called it his "big ole Clunker".
When I was trying to think of names for my tort, I wanted a name that was different but made me think of power and strength.. his tractor came to mind.
Now, when Clunker gets big, I can say I have my own big ole Clunker for cutting hay- I just don't think anybody is going to want the "bales" that come out the other end!
