COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nope this is at petsmart and this guy looked like he could need some loving.

He probably does, poor lamb.
Thanks for rescuing him.
He obviously needs to be kept in quarantine for several months with lots of hand washing between handling the other tortoise.
And they will need separate enclosures, as i'm sure you're aware.
Are his eyes open and ok now ?

Nope, and we could do with some.
Mike's failed to show up with a new supply.
What else do you squeeze in the bathroom ?

Toothpaste?

I gave him a nice warm soak, and he actually ate a a couple bites of pumpkin. He is doing at least 80% better than he was. The temp was 78% in the enclosure with no soak spot. Idk the diet they had them torts on either.

did you know we have a tardis in Glasgow?

There is a real one in Newport. An old police box that someone painted a long stripy scarf around. Will ask my sister to take a picure of it.

Good night everyone at Cold Dark Room.

Night Night champ!

Toothpaste?

Is correct!
It makes bears crazy with desire, you'd be safer wandering around with a freshly butchered elk leg.
They trash tourist tents and camps looking for it.
Dogs also are effected.

So offering toothpaste is the way to give a bear the brush off?

Sorry to hear your Dad was ill and hope he's now better. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

Oli is much better, but rather bored (like me). Sandstorms have kept us 'imprisoned' at home for days.

Sandstorms...ohh that sounds scary!! I'm glad to hear Oli is doing better!!! Thank you for my dad. He just got out of the hospital after nearly 4 months. One day at a time.
