Hello, Jodie Foster Dog.
Wish I were in Cuba, never been.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Back after a game of cricket with Tidgy
We are both exhausted.
Especially as the neighbours grandson popped in.
"Can i touch the tortoise ?" "No".
Is she going to have a bath ? "No".
Can I touch her ? " "No",
Is she going over there?, "no"
Can i touch her now ? "No".
And i couldn't sit back, relax, read or do any work as I had to keep a close eye on both of them.
What's the appeal of children ?
I really don't get it.

Don't know, sorry Adam.

Mind you children in this part of the world have this habit, due to the fact that a large majority do not have pets.

This one had a tortoise two years ago and killed it in a month.

Killed it?! I wonder why; particularly if it was done deliberately.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Not deliberate, just using it as a toy and playing rough with it, he was only very young. (the kid and the tortoise) .

Hi John, hope you are well.

Are you trying to frighten me?

Oh GOD! That really is sad. That's something I noticed here: torts are considered TOYS for children. When I take Oli out for "walks" children crowd around us like mad; asking the same questions you mentioned. I stand there like a MILITARY woman/BODYGUARD as if saying: "If you DARE touch him....."

Usually no child gets near my tortoise, but it's the Eid today, as you know, so i'm being a little more friendly than usual.

I do know what you mean as far as the "Eid" is concerned. You are lucky-touch wood- if no child approaches Tidgy. Here, the surround us and when I'm out alone, they all ask me, one by one: "Where's your tortoise? When will you take him out for a walk?" and so on.

 

[Gillian M]

Good night everyone at CDR, and sweet dreams.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good night everyone at CDR, and sweet dreams.

Night, Gillian, night Oli.
Ahlam ladida to you, too.

 

[JoesMum]

Good night all

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good night all

Night, night, Linda.
Sleep well.

Kids are so cute ! He was curious. Ive taken max and khaleesi to the park before. There were kids there unfortunately. My little sister, the 6 year old, was very protective of the tortoises. Her classmate, Xavier was curious but observant & mature, compared to his sisters. None of them picked up the tortoises except my little sister and her classmate.
Throughout the 10 mins we were out there, my sister said a lot of "dont pick them up" "you can rub their shell, but lightly" "dont get too close, you'll scare them" "he doesnt want to eat that!"

Next weekend

Yes. I thought it was yesterday that the movie watching was going to happen good thing it wasnt though

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all

We're in for a scorcher today - especially here in Kent. 31C in September!

I got all the laundry done yesterday as the weather was perfect for drying quickly - I even did the ironing *polishes halo*

Time for a quick coffee and then out to cut the grass before Joe has warmed up.
