Ohhh your dinner sounds Mexican (I’m not a spice person) enjoy it ?.
Yep no death policy I think need to be made more known, I feel for people that donate to charities which still put healthy animals down as there unaware what exactly they are donating to. I once had a lot of respect for rspca and would take strays/injured animals to my main centre….I lost that respect completely after I had been on the other side of the walls. Oh I love tortoises, I did have a couple of turtles years ago aswell called speedy & Gonzales 🙂 The greed of some people these days is shocking, the fact they use & neglect living animals for there own gain is wrong. Our system does not serve as a deterrent either because it’s so soft on criminals, sadly nothing will change unless the way it’s dealt with changes too.
Keep holding on, I didn’t think my sunflowers would sprout either…but was surprised when I checked this morning to see it starting to push up thru the soil. Ok I have a confession to make…..I actually checked the seed and when I realised it was showing some roots I covered it up again but didn’t bury it as deeply. Ajn has got some great growth hasn’t he?
This was my concern when I thought about a dog, the exercising. I have mobility issues like yourself but sadly I have days where I’m left bed bound too. Myself and my partner did have a very very sweet chihuahua cross that weighed just under 4kg (pint sized) and he would take her out most of the time. She passed away a month after he did although she was 20 years old. I miss the company a dog brings and how unconditionally loving they are but I wouldn’t be in a position to fully care for one myself. 🙁
