WalkingRock -vs- A New Dawn

[Zamric]

Well, As promised, here's a photo log of WalkingRocks trip To his new Home in Northern Oklahoma.

...a door opens and the Future calls.... WalkingRock awaits the grand Adventure....


A treat for the road then to my chariot...



HEY! I paid for a window seat!


Oklahoma is in the air!


After 4 hours in that box I need to stretch my legs, which way to my new yard?






NICE! ok, while I eat, the monkeys put my new house up...



It's been along day, go away and let me sleep!


A new day dawns...



Yes Sir, I like it!



Well, This completes my Life with WalkingRock. His new yard is 100' long and 56' wide. Tomorrow there will be a 3' metal sheet wall installed over the Storm fence to block his view of the rest of the farm and he may soon have a mama goat and 2 new kids to keep him company.

It's bittersweet.

I agree with Yvonne. Does look like a great home though and he seem to have settled right in. Glad you got to keep him in the family.

well, I must say.... I thought WalkingRock had a few more fans than this.

Normally a post for WalkingRock generates a few post, not a whole bunch but quite a few. I think that 2 is a whole new low for any of my posting....... hhhmmmmmmmm.

I missed this post. I saw the last one where you said he was going to a new home though.

Glad he made it there in one piece

I'm surprised by the lack of posts too. Walking Rock IS a favorite here. I feel bad you don't have him anymore.

Now the spam has gone away I found it (I have also been away on vacation)

It will feel strange without Walking Rock in your life I think! His new home looks great

It does look great! Even better when the Metal Sheets go up!

I've always enjoyed your posts, I didn't know anything about Walking Rock moving to Oklahoma until I came across this thread. I haven't visited TFO very often the last couple months.If he's happy and your confident he will be well cared for all is good, but I bet it was a tough decision to make..

It was much harder for Cathie to let him go since she has had him since day 3 after his hatching, 17 years ago! But she is very confident as am I that he is in good and loving hands.

Very sorry you had to let him go, but glad he has a good home to go to. Looks like he approves.

He certainly seems to like it but who can know the mind of a tortoise?

That can't be easy, I have a hard enough time being away from my pets for a week. I've had to rehome rescues in the past though and they've always gone to good homes. It really does put the mind at ease.

It still is... on Tuesday I tore down his old Bunker and the empty spot it used to sit on is a stark reminder when we get home from work that he is not in the yard....

This weekend I will be removing and filling in his pond and covering that spot with sod....

On a brighter note, Eros and Gaia have figured out how to escape their current enclosure and get into the yard proper. Without WalkingRock dominating the yard, I have been able to fence off 1/3 of the back area with the back patio and let the kids run free.
