Winnie and Marge

Hi everyone, I want to tell you a vary sad story with a very happy ending about Winnie and Marge. A little while ago  I had a call from a lovely family who had just purchased a pair of tortoises. They knew something was not right with them ; they had been dumped in the garage as the owner got bored with them and had left them with his mother. They had been fed dog food and had pretty much lived in the dark for heaven knows how long. Anyway ; the family bought them knowing things were not good but they just wanted to get them away from their awful surroundings. Having got them home they  found my number , rang me and we talked for over an hour. I told them the beaks did not sound right and would they like to make the long trip  to see me so that I could help;well they jumped at the chance and the following day I met a lovely family who wanted the best for their new girls Winnie and Marge. I have to say I cried when I saw their beaks,I have never seen a case as bad as Winnie and Marge and I couldn't wait to trim them so that they could start eating proper food again !  Immediately it had been done they looked so much better; their beaks will never be perfect but with lots of calcium and cuttle fish bones they will be a million times better.Well; I now have new friends who care as much as I do about these amazing creatures. You should see Winnie and Marge's new home in the garden, they have a lovely house to go in at night  a shelter to rest in, a swimming pool to soak in . They are so happy, eating greens and marching around their new surroundings. Well done my new friends,  it is a pleasure knowing you and I look forward to many years of friendship.And well done Winnie and Marge for finding a wonderful new  forever home!! I do love a happy ending.....
