COLD DARK ROOM

Forgot to post the coot pictures from the other week that my sister sent me.

Lovely coots!

 

[Kristoff]

Thank you Lena.
My cats name was "Lilly". She was old ( I think 16 years ) and weak because of a malfunction of the pancreas.
Last night she must have tried to jump on a commode in my cellar. The commode is only for the cats to lie on and had a piece of carpet on it.
In the morning I found my poor Lilly dead, hanging with the front paws ( claws ) on the carpet and her back legs in the air. It was so cruel.
She died because she couldn`t get her claws out of the carpet. She died because of the shock. It was cruel to see.
She was not screaming. I would have heard her but I haven`t heard a single sound of her.
She was such a lovely cat.
I am devastated.
I had to bury her soon but I don`t want to. I don`t want to think she is dead but she is.

Oh poor thing. Poor Lilly. How sad. Of course you would have heard her.
Another big hug.

I think it happens everywhere.
I'm on the Fossil Forum and occasionally we'll get someone who posts a "dinosaur egg" or whatever and museums and experts have confirmed it and we don't know what we're talking about when we say it's just a rock.
The difference here is that living creatures suffer because of idiots.
And that's what's really sad.

Very true.

Thank you Carol and Lena.
I am now out to bury my Lilly.
Thank you for listening to me.

Talk to you later. [emoji173]️

Always and anytime Bee. [emoji8] [emoji8] [emoji8]

I am hoping to crash the party, that's what I would say as a teenager. A coworker made this poll for me, It's didn't get much action as it's own thread.

Sorry, Walter, but i'm not clicking on links that take me out of the Forum.
I voted on your other thread, though probably a bit late.
Good luck with your survey.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Can't remember.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning all. I can't believe the week has gone so quickly!

Yeah, gone by in less than a day!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I haven’t read the recent posts, but what you say sounds very fair. Is that the English way of losing temper?

I generally throw objects out of prams.
But I'm half Welsh.

 

[EllieMay]

Yes I am sad because one of my elder cats died and it was a dead that was so cruel and unnecessary.
Writing and reading here with all my lovely roommates makes me a little happy though.

I’m so sorry! I know that’s hard..
I’m glad you have something uplifting though..

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sterling got very sick (Misty too) and had bad diarrhoea. Sadly she died very quickly. Misty, thankfully recovered.

Goodness!
Thank Heaven's Misty recovered.

 

[EllieMay]

Wow. I am very impressed. The animals are lucky to have you.

Thank you! I feel it’s me that’s the lucky one.

I just found this little miracle in the garden
View attachment 241182

In the middle of the periwinkle is a shoot of Sedum Spectabile. This is one of the plants that Joe ate to the ground 8 years ago... that I never forgave him for... and I had assumed had long since given up the ghost.

And here it is, fifteen months after his death, tentatively trying to grow again! He must have been grazing it to the ground every time it tried.

I just planted 3 new ones a few weeks ago in Joe’s memory, but this one has made me really happy. This is Joe’s sedum and it’s going to be nurtured

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Wow ! Hello Ed. Do you come out of your burrow or was it hibernation ???
Good to see you here. Is it hot in Florida too ?

Its absolutely horrible.
Both too hot and too rainy.

I would squeeze you a long time in a bear hug !! So sorry.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I did. I'll get pics later it tomorrow. I went on in to work. I had left instructions on what to do with the package just in case I was not there but I was able to make it back before he came.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done, Dan!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hope you are feeling better Dan and that they don't find any clots.

I'm a clot.
Luckily they haven't found me, yet.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Well, I found a space for my new tort. I still need to add a few visual barriers but it’s coming along. It turned out to be 6x15ish.
Now, to get him home after 5-6 hours in the car.

Very exciting!
Another new tortie!

It was in reference to Yvonne's other kitty getting Yvonne back to herself after Sterling passed away.
