For some reason people are thinking we are running an "animal-rescue-shelter". It started off with a very energetic black labrador and after a cute 2 years old Maltese dog we are doing tortoises now.
The Lab found a great new home and so did the Maltese but the tortoises are still with us. We fenced of an area in the garden to be a safe haven for the tortoises but it was not that safe after all.
We started with three, two tortoises (land-turtels for the dutch readers) and a teraphine (swimming turtle for the dutch readers...).
The swimming turtle, Tommy, dissapeared from our garden without any proof of escape... Today I found out that a teraphine of that size would be worth 100 dhs so maybe somebody took it from his pond...
One of the tortoises was severely hurt by our hairy four-legged friend Peppi. He played too rough with the tortoises and we are telling the kids that tortoise is in "summer-sleep" while we are trying to figure out a better story!
I am trying to motivate P to fix a dog-proof construction for the tortoises but until now I did not succeed, new day tomorrow!

Wetenswaardigheden van de familie Spaans-van Kesteren in Dubai. In Koewacht zijn de verhuisdozen nog niet allemaal uitgepakt of we vertrekken weer. Het avontuur lokt en na lang afwegen en een kijkje ter plaatse is besloten naar Dubai te vertrekken. Eind oktober 2007 was het zover, de dag van de grote oversteek. Hoe het verder verloopt is op de weblog te lezen.
