Holey Shell

Each time a chance meeting with any wildlife during morning walks, our human feels deeply pleased and privileged.

Lately it was with this lovely spiny turtle.

Not to frighten it, our human slowly and carefully place one foot beside it for comparison before snapping this photo.

And then noticed that there was a hole in its shell.

Can you see it?

Standing still, our human contemplated whether to help it to the vet or not. Bending forward for a closer look, that hole was not that big, approximately about 0.75cm in diameter.

Our human decided to let Nature heal itself as environmental change and journey to the vet may not go well with it...

...and continued the walk after watching that probably male spiny turtle entered the thick undergrowth beside the path.

Let us hope we meet again!

Pet B&B?

Our human's brother had to go overseas for a week and had to have his pet cat looked after.
This sent our human into a panic frenzy of clearing and cleaning the "MeowRoom" which had been turned into a sort of storeroom. It took a few days. Proper food and litter supplies were also purchased.
That timid kitty named Snowie came on a weekend and left on a weekend.
But our human called him "Moe" after one of the three stooges due to that comical look on his face at times.

Soon "Moe" quickly relaxed, played with our human's late kitties' toys (yes, those toys were cleaned and kept as our human simply could not throw them away).

A totally relaxed "Moe".
Almost a week has passed after "Moe" left; our human procrastinated and have not cleaned the "MeowRoom" yet; hopefully in the next few days!
