Home At Last

Sorry it has taken me a while to post some pics of the new family member, but she's so full of mischief I can't take my eyes off her. We are absolutely bowled over by her. She has the sweetest nature, I hope she stays like that. Our last puss Pendragon was the most grumpiest cat in the world, we loved her still.

Diego's High Sex Drive Saves The Day.

Finally some good news, it made me smile, so although a bit random I thought his achievement deserves a mention.

This sprightly Hood Isand Giant Tortoise has just been retired from a breeding programme that saw his species number grow from 15 to 2000. This wonderful tortoise is now 110 years old, and was responsible for 40% of the 2000 born. Fortunately for us, he has/had, a very high sex drive.

I believe that he has been returned to an uninhabited island in one of the oldest part of the Galapagos. Presumably with many of his children. What a legend.
