The dog has taken a liking to my tortoises Sad

We found her today with an adult female spur thigh on our back door step. Lucky enough she hadn't done any damage but when we checked our 'pen' there was another one missing Sad

I thought the chances of finding the missing female were almost zero (2 acre garden surrounded by farm land) but amazingly after about a 30 minute search I found her down a quite lane buried in a ditch in some leaves Shocked

I just can't believe my luck...right off to buy a lottery ticket Cool

Scott, you know the thingys that are attached to bunches of keys, so that when the keys are lost you can just clap your hands and lights flash and bells ring.... Question

Well, why not superglue one onto each tortoise shell Wink

That would make losing them a lot more fun Rolling Eyes

Scott ever since I read that you have 2 acres of garden, and remembering the photos of some of it... Shocked

I have been making plans in my head to make it really interesting and beautiful. Sorry, but for the last few years of my working life I worked on a 240 acre private estate, growing plants etc. Loved it and am itching to get going on an untamed plot Rolling Eyes

How about a competition to design you a garden. Winner gets a morph royal..... Cool
