off topic- pets

this picture is old and grainy but I found it recently. Mums miniature Schnauzer and the family tortoise were never close but I do wonder what they were each thinking on this occasion …..

edit: and with the picture this time

That's really cute, it looks like the dog is waiting for the tortoise to kick the ball back! ☺️

What a lovely pic! I wonder if the sweet looking dog was wondering if the tortoise was a type of ball. He might have been tempted to pick it up & run with it. My family had a tortoise yrs ago. It kept ‘running’ off to the nuns nearby. I’ve read alot of people used to put them away to hibernate & forgot where they put it! Tortoises are sweet. (When they stick their heads out). Funny little faces.

This one is over 80 now and hibernates in a tea chest filled with straw in the garage, she emerges early spring and likes a warm paddle and nip of gin to bring her round.

🤣 who doesn’t like a nip of gin to bring them round??

Oh that’s lovely. My son in NZ has a miniature schnauzer and he is just the sweetest little dog - he stands and looks at things exactly the same way, it’s amazing really.

I love a miniature Snauzer , My daughter had one but she died recently. She gave Nanny and Grandad ( daughter doesn’t want kids) so much joy , miss her loads

It's a nice, fun photo that has made me and I'm sure others smile.

[Stills in reply to Ritaritis]

That’s what I hoped for so thanks for your reply

Great photo . It really cheered me up, thank you. It brings back memories of my childhood- we had a tortoise .

I love the fact she has a nip of gin 😁🤗

Over the years 70s/80s we had four, Tommy, Tina, Tiga and one in the picture is Topsy and still thriving

[MadBunny in reply to Stills]

That's wonderful. I'm sure we had more than one but I honestly can't remember .
