It looks like you have a new pet Chris! I have always pondered over the life of these critters!
It is good news about Tony, and great that you are back online again! Welcome home to BP! #1567727

Glad to hear that Tony is progressing. It gets harder as we age. Growing old is not for sissies. Best to you and your family Chris. #11007658

Sorry for that poor turtle, but very glad to hear that Tony's getting better (slowly but surely), Chris. And I'm especially happy to hear you and the Internet have kissed and made up. Fingers crossed for all situations!
P.S. Sorry about your weather, but here in California, it has rained overnight, with no warning from the weather people. They're not earning their paycheck this week... #11008127

Poor turtle! I'm glad he has such a protective shell.

I'm also glad to hear that Tony is in progress.

Wonderful news and image, Chris. #11008755

Hello everyone, today we went on a walk through the bush!! to the next township, Tony had ideas of taking some pictures but decided he couldn't hold the camera. Turned out to be a good idea when we saw the conditions in the wet weather!!! Thanks Ellen for your comments & good wishes. #11022678
