Are you near Defiance Ohio? I used to work there.

Well then I hope so too! How’s your mobility coming now? Ready for a soccer game yet???

Lola did have about 20 mins in the sun but only because he was contained in a box again. As soon as I let him out to wander he turned tail and headed back into the house! My mobility is improving thanks Heather - still a bit painful if I want to go any distance but, no pain no gain! You won't catch me playing football but I have played rugby in a charity match once!

There is a baby robin under our decking at the moment, the parents are going mad trying to find it. We thought we’d leave it alone just so their is a slim chance they can retrieve the baby and not abandon it. What do you guys think we should do? Letting nature take its course seems to be the safest option at this point.

Can it get out when the garden is quiet?

Well the verdicts still out on that. When I posted the medicine here. Vladimir said that was given to him for Vladimir. I have had a few responses here that maybe it was parasites and should be treated with another medicine. It was said pinworms dont make loose stools which Opo had. I called the vet a few times and am getting a feeling he doesn't treat torts much. Today and yesterday Opo's stools were fine. So something's working. Do you know if the vet list on TFO are verified tortoise vets?

I don't know. I still don't have a vet. My regular vet was honest and said he's never done a tortoise. I wish he'd study up and take care of all my pets. I've heard of pinworms in children because they sit and play on the ground. It might be possible to get a test kit for worms from a farm store. I don't know but I'm going to be checking that out.

Yes [emoji4] Postcards shortly

Beautiful place! My sister moved from Lancs to a place called Greysouthen (near Cockemouth) so spent a lot of time in that part of the world too. In fact I've seen a lot of the country thanks to my sister moving about with her hubby's job.

Sorry to see you are still having to deal with pain. Lola is funny. Saphire begs to go outside and then goes into his hide out.

 

[Cathie G]

Not when you are actively trying to grow them, they don't.

Yea I found that out. I can't mow because I have an allergy to mowed grass and weeds. All the people that I hire to mow or weed keep killing the weeds I want to keep. I tell them but...I'm winning.

I’m annoyed I didn’t get one, I reacted really quickly to get her off in the shock of the moment. The pic would of of been my profile pic, no doubt about that

Hahaha anyway...I found Saphire hanging by one claw from the cover(hardware cloth) of his enclosure. He was trying to outsmart me I guess.

After dark they probably won't look. They might early morning. I did go through that once. The baby hid itself too well but another time years later by not interfering it was the right decision. Best wishes on this.

"Old Mc Heather had a farm, E i E I O.... and on her farm she had some torts.... E I E I O ..."

Hahaaaaha... that’s me [emoji6]

And we finished our day Rydal Mount, home of 19th century poet William Wordsworth who “wandered lonely as a cloud” in his poem Daffodils. It’s next to one of the smaller lakes, Rydal Water

Tonight we are staying near Grasmere another of the larger lakes.

Some amazing Views! Thanks for sharing [emoji4]

 

[EllieMay]

I does feel good. Going to Orlando tomorrow to do what tourists do. So hopefully I will get more practice.

Well that’s adventuresome of you. I hope it all goes great but don’t over do it please wishing you lots of fun!

 

[EllieMay]

Three of my 2 legged spoiled ones visited and that was nice. Several other texted and that was nice too.

I’m so glad to read that. You must be a wonderful mother

Good evening all

@Moozillion are you paying attention? I have postcards for Bea’s bucket list! (Actually, it’s more of a vat than a bucket now! [emoji1])

We are in the Lake District national park and, it being a beautiful sunny Sunday, the main aim was to stay out if the way of tourists and cyclists and enjoy the countryside.

So we started at a small nature reserve called Dorothy Farrer’s Spring Wood (There’s a spring there which I presume used to belong to Dorothy)

It is a rare patch of completely unspoiled ancient woodland. The flowers (mostly bluebells and wild garlic) were stunning and the bird song deafening. We even saw a Tawny Owl! It was stunningly beautiful in the sunshine and so peaceful
