Dear Daisy -I have never been on a bus or in a shopping trolley. I think you are extremely brave.Good morning everyone,
Natrah and I are travelling on a bus to see the man that keeps prodding me. Jacky is fast asleep in the pet carrier and has never been on a bus. Thankyou for your kind thoughts. I can't see anything at the moment as I am in a shopping trolley
Dear Zola, Sapphire and Ernie,Dear Daisy -I have never been on a bus or in a shopping trolley. I think you are extremely brave.
Love from Zola xxx
Dear Daisy - I am very glad you are back safely, and that the vet was pleased with your progress. I expect Natrah feels better now - it is a big responsibility looking after two treasures like you and Jacky, and I am not surprised she has been waking up in the night and worrying. My mum is the same, when she thinks there is something wrong with me.Dear Zola, Sapphire and Ernie,
We are on our way home. I have been prodded and turned on my back for all to see! We were told that my lumps are going down and that I need to come back in a month to see whether I am suitable for a biopsy. First of all I was cold and sleepy and secondly I need my new enclosure to be set up. Anyway Natrah seems to be happy and perhaps now she can stop waking up in the middle of the night and worrying!
Daisy
Good afternoon Jacky, Daisy & ZolaGood evening everyone,
Ernie and Zola you have been very busy with your parents. Let me tell you what I did today when MaNaAk went out to get Daisy's present I decided to aim for the mop and scales. When she came back with the enclosure which needs to be assembled she removed me and put me back with Daisy before going out to do shopping. When she came she found me on the mop again and this time I was put outside. Anyway Daisy's enclosure should look very nice and I've heard MaNaAk telling her friends that I may need it in the future.
Jacky
Yippee it's arrived!
Daisy
I hope the Pellet Hay substrate is okay.
Natrah
Good afternoon Jackie, Daisy, Zola & SaphireDear Natrah,
Sapphire and I second that with zolasmum. I'm glad Daisy's in good hands with your vet. At least it looks like you are. I'm glad the vet is taking into account her age and what's best for her.

Hello from Angie. Zola is out with his dad at the moment - it was quite sunny when they set off, but it is much greyer now, so they may be back soon. I hope your enclosure isn't difficult to fix - and that you will take photos of it when it's done. I hope young Daisy will appreciate it.What I mean is that I could work on the table eventhough the vivarium will be on the floor.
MaNaAk
Thankyou Zola.Dear Natrah, I just had a thought - don't leave your mallet lying about anywhere near Jacky - her "scientific curiosity" just might inspire her to experiment with it - on your scales, your mop - or even on Daisy !!
Goodnight to all of you from Zola xxx
Jonathan is 184 years old now - if you look through the threads in General Tortoise Discussion, you will find one I wrote called A Photo of Jonathan the oldest tortoise in the world in 1948 - which is about him - and also shows Zola and his friend David.T
Thankyou Zola.
I'm afraid Jacky flipped as she tried to climb in the flower beds today but she's okay. I know you have a box but I was wondering whether Ernie and Sapphire have vivariums also how old is Jonathan?
Good night everyone
Natrah, Jacky and Daisy
Wow just seen it. Is Jonathan an Aldabra tortoise?Jonathan is 184 years old now - if you look through the threads in General Tortoise Discussion, you will find one I wrote called A Photo of Jonathan the oldest tortoise in the world in 1948 - which is about him - and also shows Zola and his friend David.

It's a nice story, isn't it ! Jonathan is indeed an Aldabra - and it was lovely getting the photo of him in his relative youth from David. Richard says he thinks that Jonathan is in fact aged 190, from something he read.Wow just seen it. Is Jonathan an Aldabra tortoise?
