Default Hot weather, hot Sammy!

Sammy, my little old ( very old) Herman , has lost the plot 😨 he fools me most of the year into thinking he's on his last legs and about to pop his clogs, but oh no , hot weather....... Very randy Sammy, he's been running around the garden, bonking anything he can catch up with( with isn't much usually ) 😳 so he's on his own for the night 😴

Aww, plenty of desire left in him then, Suze. I take it he can't catch Jemima anymore?

Lol yes he has, when the weather is hot. He can't keep up with Jemima anymore, he usually looks lost in the middle of the garden, obviously wondering where to go, but at the moment he's marching around like a clock work toy, completely beside himself with excitement, and has found Jemima. I think tomorrow he can be on his own to cool off.

Lovely to hear about this. Age doesn't really come into it. Port Sammy now in isolation - so tough.

I have this same situation with Bertha, who despite her old age and apparent damage from some form of attack.... Started life here not being able to move very far....... Six years down the line she can move like 'quicksilver' and certainly fight her own corner. It is surprising how a tort friendly environment can help torts find a new lease of life X X X hugs X X X
