Jacky And Daisy

Thankyou Zola and Angie,
Just got back from a lovely meal at our favourite restaurant. They were switching on the Xmas lights in Southend and I got to see some fireworks after all. Do fireworks upset you? They have never upset Jacky and Daisy and I have returned to sleeping beauty! I remember when our former neighbours used to have parties with singers and I remember one particular party when mum was in hospital so that meant that four members of the household were at home and three members weren't bothered. Two members were sleeping in the tortoise house, one was quite deaf and the other had to put up with it!
Are your parents bothered by fireworks? I do think of the local wildlife (we have squirrels, bats and foxes) and I feel sorry for them.
I will disinfect Daisy's enclosure one day put some photos in there and when Jacky's up I will try her in there but I will need to see how she gets on. I just remember what happened in Daisy's old enclosure when I decided to try the two of them in there and Jacky was good for three minutes! She then started pacing about and looking for a way out leaving Daisy wondering what was happening! Jacky must have been wondering where she was!

Ernie & I have been thinking of you & send you our love.
Ernie was given a box of lettuces, which are in a plastic container & still growing. They are all grown with no pesticide. Ernie is enjoying them very much. Lots of love again.
Hi Zola how are you & your family? Hi Sapphire how are you and your family? Lots of loveErnie xxx
Thankyou Ernie.
Sleeping beauty is in the other room and I am gradually feeling although I keep seeing little Daisy's face. One of the saddest things was being advised to wear gloves when handling her so that put a stop to the cuddles so I rubbed her as much as possible.

Hello, dear Natrah - my mum and I have been thinking a lot of you today. It was cold and very windy, so we didn't go far today, but my dad lit the fire, an my mum sat with me on her shoulder when it was dark,and she put her chin by my head - we sat for a very long time, and it was lovely, because she was stroking me all the time. When I feel ready for some more food, I fidget a bit to show I've had enough stroking, and I get taken back to my room. My mum said I was there with her for about 40 minutes being stroked !And while we were there, we could hear my dad in the kitchen cooking supper - not for me, though - I prefer my radicchio, and lovely dandelions from the garden.
Lots of love from Zola xxx

Aww!
Dear Zola,
I still feel I'm grieving for Daisy and I received the card below:
It was a lovely thought from the vet's. I dreamt about Daisy last night and she had become a teenage mutant ninja tortoise! We miss her and she was gorgeous.
The picture on my other thread is from the old garden and the plank is probably part of the fencing that dad used to put up to protect the flower beds but Jacky and Daisy used to find their way there by climbing, bashing and digging! They were persistent and one would follow the other!
Had lunch out today and dinner out yesterday. The Xmas lights were switched on and there were fireworks but these didn't bother Jacky.
Goodnight Zola
Natrah and Jacky

Love from Zola xxx
Sorry, I apologise - my dad says Jonathan is 190 years old !!!
Zola xxx
Wow!!!! Please could you remind us what type of tortoise he is Zola. I will let sleeping beauty know. Meanwhile at some point Jacky tore a hole in the new toilet role bag and tried to cover her tracks. I found this out the other day. Not nice tortoise weather here. I have decided to take her for a check up when she wakes up.

Dear MaNaAk

Dear Ernie and Amanda,
I was a tearful this morning and still miss Daisy terribly but I did phone the vets to thank them for the card and to say that I will bring Jacky in for a check up after hibernation. They all became fond of Daisy as well. It's miserable weather here so I wonder if Zola will stay in today.
Natrah and Jacky
PS: Don't forget that Daisy is looking down on us all including her friends on this forum as well as her friend Dickie (hibernating) and two Sullys called Sherman and Albertina.

Dear MaNaAh
I know we don’t know you very well, but we are thinking of you. If you need a friendly ear. We always have time for a chat.
amanda & Ernie. Ernie doesn’t want to go to bed lol xx
Hello Amanda - we are all ok, but it is very cold and wet at the moment,which means I can't go for long walks on the cliffs with my dad, and I just have to put up with my mum indoors.Dear Zola, I meant your dad. i hope you are all ok? Sorry love Amanda & Ernie
Love to you and little Ernie
Zola xx
Dear Natrah - that was very kind of the vet, but I expect it made you cry - it made me cry, too.
I really feel for you - I don't know how Richard and I would cope if anything happened to Zola - he is the only family we have, and after 21 years he becomes more precious to us every day.
Zola and I both send you long-distance hugs xxxxx
Thankyou Amanda,
You've all been such a wonderful support. Jacky's been asleep since Thursday night but I know she will miss Daisy. Ernie doesn't hibernate does she?
