That happens all the time with me, like if Santos is asleep in the cupboard or on the floor in a blanket or even in his substrate, I always end up thinking I've got his shoulders and bring him out for a hug & a kiss ..... but I get a gobful of backside instead :doh:

I mean, is the turd travelling up the driveway ..... or down it? :hehe:

:rofl: Hahahahaaa! I never ever get tired of Santos Pics, even ones I've seen before! I totally love that Stumpie-Poo! I wonder if Stumpies themselves get confused about whether they're coming or going???
Lisa, I'm gonna save for a trip down under just to visit you and your crew! I would love to see Santos in person. . . :D

Especially if they make that cute noise like Zach's Sunny!


I've got a "Park Place" stamp from McDonald's Monopoly, which means I'm one "Boardwalk" stamp away from winning a million dollars! You are so zealous about the shingleturds that I will buy you one if I win that million. :hehe:

[quote="Lisa"][ There's a guy selling some (I think Richard's made an enquiry) but Goldfield locale shingles simply wouldn't stand up to an east coast summer (too humid this side of the divide).

Sorry Lisa,have to disagree there,or someone forgot to tell mine.

I don't know if you looked on the Classifieds, but the shinglebacks are now not being sold. He was about to accept my offer, but his godson was upset about having them go, so he had a change of heart. Totally understandable, as I would find it impossible to let any of mine go, but still dissapointing. That seemed like a superb offer.

Awww, dr-brd decided against selling his beloved shingles because when his grandson heard, he cried. I can't say as I blame him though, I don't think I could ever sell my critters! So you guys wanna go in on a shinglepoo? We could all share custody. . . :D
