COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

My first reading of “I had an emu for a few years” was food-related. [emoji33][emoji23] I’m on my first cup of coffee now.
I had an emo for a year in class. Not much of a character and didn’t seem interested in anything.

Mine was a pretty nice pet. I really enjoyed him. He loved having you rub his neck, and enjoyed being loved on.

Sorry. It was impossible to resist. We never get boared of jokes in the CDR.

I like it. By the way, my last two eggs are peeping today. And it’s hubby’s birthday!

Happy Sunday! I would like to see pics of the aviary and the new bird... enjoy the beach and be careful with the tan!!

Hhmmm - I’m pretty sure I read that the poor birdy didnt make it. :-(

The aviary is the tortoises new outside enclosure. And the little bird didn't make it.

Love that video!

Good morning everyone... I will be sticking with my cows milk as well..
Looks like another beautiful Texas day.. my muscles are protesting the slight amount of action they received yesterday but I’ve no choice but to start over again today!! Toast n coffee and out the door!

@Kristoff
Your generosity should be an example for us all... but rest easy knowing that their will be a couple extra thighs for you both. I’m a “two breast” kinda gal so that’s a couple extra thighs for the both of you [emoji16].

Yayyy.

It rained most of the day yesterday, and it's sprinkling on and off so far this a.m. too. Guess it's housework for me today, darn it! Though it really might be a good idea because I'm having company tomorrow. My tortoise partner was at a reptile show in SoCal yesterday and he called me to ask if it would be ok for someone he met at the show to stop by here on his way home to Sacramento. I know of the Sacramento guy from Facebook's turtle and tortoise classified, and he's an ok guy. In fact a couple years ago I bought a female Manouria emys emys from the guy. It will be nice to be able to show him how beautiful the tortoise has grown in my care.

My cats hate the rain! I have an old, abandoned and vacant house sitting next to my house, and I leave the door open just to cat width, but for some unknown reason, the cats only go in there if I'm in there. It would be a great place for them to get out of the weather. I have cat beds and a couple litter boxes in there, but it remains catless.

This is the old house:

You’re the one that provides. Why hang out where you’re not? They ain’t stupid!

What?? “Spring is coming”?? It’s the beginning of January where I am... [emoji23]
Beautiful babies. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

My tortoise starts trying to talk me into believing it's spring in mid February. He tries to stand up really tall so I'll take him outside. I would but there's still snow on the ground.

 

[Cathie G]

As in “The Hare and the Tortoise”?

Yep since I have one of each. My 2 favorite. First I play connect the dots on my living room floor. Then I soak my tortoise and see what kinda fables he tries to tell me.

 

[Cathie G]

Ah sweet. Is she named Sapphire because she is a gem in a million?

Yes. He's my walking rock.

Strange they don't want to stay in there. Maybe you need to leave some things with your smell in there, that might draw them in.

Remember when they went to Africa on the safari with the kids and the mom was overprotective? Adam & the little boy rode them and she freaked out!

Sending you strength to get through a tour and company!

 

[Cathie G]

Music to my ears as well... I think exotic is dependent upon what’s not native to your area so it must vary for us all. Neat discussion though to hear what’s normal or not for others Venison here is a must have in the freezer

Venison is deer to my heart also. If I'm under the weather a bowl of veggie soup made with venison is another great medicine.

 

[Cathie G]

This pig thing is really catching on!

Last time I heard we all come from eggs. We just hatch in a warm, moist, and dark place.

Strange they don't want to stay in there. Maybe you need to leave some things with your smell in there, that might draw them in.

I have a sneaking feeling that Tony the Tiger, the attack feral cat, might have been in there a few times, leaving his scent, and as there's only one ingress and egress, once you're in, if he's in there, you might not be able to make it back to the door.

Thank you. I really am not ready for tortoise type company. I like to have everything all cleaned and raked in the tortoise yards, no poop, etc. But with only a day's notice, I don't have enough time to make it beautiful. The poop's gone and they get fresh water every morning, so hopefully the place won't present too badly.
