COLD DARK ROOM

[Ray--Opo]

Oh so sorry you had that happen. I'll read it. That's what happens to me if something like that happens to me with my animals. Glad to see the Opo found.

Thanks I was a nervous wreck. Every night and morning I will be checking the gates now. A little voice in my head told me to check the gates. But I was soon tired I didn't do it. Will be getting locks for the gates next time I go out.

That cooling vest is awesome! So you fill it with water to keep him cool? How long does it last before you need to get it wet again? And is it like dripping wet, or could he wear that and still sit on your lap without getting you soaked?

You soak it and then wring it out really good.. when you wring the water out, you won’t even see your dogs fur get wet & it still cools very well.. I never had to re-wet it but I don’t think she was out more than a couple hours at a time... still, in this heat she can usually only last 10 min... this particular vest is made by Ruffwear, it’s the “swamp cooler” edition.. they are the same company that I ordered her life jacket from and it works very well for her 47lbs... ( and she loves to swim with it)

Good afternooning all.

I have been been pretty the last week. Not least returning lost property found on my walks. A credit card on Friday and an earring yesterday.

The earring turned out to be a special fgift from the lady’s fiancé. She was practically in tears on my doorstep when I gave it back to her. This morning she dropped off a bunch of roses to say thank you

At the rescue it continues to be busy. Now we have finally pinned down who the aviary bully is (a Great T-it) he has been evicted and the birds in there are much happier.

I made a batch of face masks for my fellow volunteers and said they could have one in exchange for a donation to rescue funds. They’re reversible. Spots one side and hedgehog print the other. I raised just over £80!

We have four hedgehogs visiting our garden now. However, two of them aren’t getting on by the looks of this video!

Wow you HAVE been busy!!! That’s very good of you to go to the trouble to return the lost items... most would not.. I’m proud to know you however remotely!

Love the critter action

More cooking. We’ve picked fresh large Muscadine grape leaves from our vines & have now blanched them. Next is pickling for a few days — then wifey is going to make stuffed grape leaves.

I need to know how she does that! I have wild muscadine galore!!! I never beat the squirrels to the fruit though ?

Screen shot. I'm so glad everybody got to have some fun.

You really need to send me a list of Joes supplies and let me send him some!

How did Cinder get her name? With you being in Texas (where Rooster Teeth is located), I'm curious if there's a RWBY reference, by any chance. Or maybe I just confused some people...

Nothing that educated... LOL!
I referenced Cinder Block for her anticipated weight and Shape.. I was right on the money too !!! Also at the time I was planning for the color of ashes but that didn’t work out

 

[EllieMay]

Just made a post in General Discussion about losing Opo and finding him.
The name of the post is " Opo lost, Opo found! My hand is still shaking so I don't feel like posting the story again.

Oh wow... I’m glad it says Opo found!!!

Red Lady in all of her glory. This was from a couple months ago, her first time outside (on the front porch), on a leash instead of in a container. A big world for a (not as little as she used to be) bearded dragon lady. She's a year old now.

Wow She’s really grown! Beautiful

I finally uploaded a couple new pictures of Bold and Pinstripe to their thread in the water turtle section. Yay!

 

[EllieMay]

Ah, okay. Makes perfect sense. I mentioned RWBY due to a character named Cinder Fall. She's one of the bad guys. I like anime, and RWBY is actually made in the U.S. (Texas) and exported to Japan. That's a first. It's a really good series. Each season (the first six so far) is collected into a movie style volume, available to stream on Amazon Prime. The animation improves by the year, too.

Hello, nobody in particular.
Welcome to Tidgy's Dad's Cold Dark Room.
Not expecting a lot of visitors in this pointless place, but this is where I live now.
It's good in here.
If anyone does visit, please feel free to say what you want( within forum guidelines, of course) and I will be happy to be silly, slightly insult you or ignore you completely which you are most welcome to do to me.
I will of course venture out occasionally, when I think I can be useful or annoying, but otherwise I live here now.
No advertising, let's see who spots me.
This is where i belong.
Tidgy is most unconcerned.

Aha! I think you are my leopard tortoise. When did you learn to use the keyboard? Did you steal my iPhone when I wasn’t looking? You know I’ve been upset with you ever since I gave you a new hide and you won’t use it. Is this your new way of torturing me? And this after you stuffed yourself and your old hide and wouldn’t come out all day? I’m on to you kid.

Oh...I want a Beardie, been wanting for a while now. I certainly I have the equipment

Thanks I was a nervous wreck. Every night and morning I will be checking the gates now. A little voice in my head told me to check the gates. But I was soon tired I didn't do it. Will be getting locks for the gates next time I go out.

It wouldn't surprise me if you didn't do it. Locks are a good idea though. Raccoons like to play with things. One time I forgot to bring Saphire in for the night. I've never lived that down with myself. Ohio nights even in the summer can be chilly. I wind up checking on him now before I go to sleep. Oh the things we do for our critters.

Sometimes you just gotta go old school.... (reference that thought in your singles mingle thread) LMAO!!!
