So I thought it would be nice for you guys to see some of my old gang..... They've all passed on now bless them.. This is was the gorgeous Marrow!!! My first Margie... he was HUGE!!!   These were my lovely Tigers Donna & Kebab  This was Marjorie....Also my Avatar   And you can see on this pic one of my origonal Fulica duo Vic & Bob... That's Bob in the picture he lived for about 7 years and was pretty big for a Fulica  I've had various others along the way from batches of eggs etc... but these were my main guys |

You had some lovely looking Snails and I loved the photo's of Marrow. Both the Snails in my avatar have slimmed over to the big cabbage patch in the sky. They were doing there flying snail dance when I took this photo the Fulica on the bottom was Zorst and the tiger snail being the flying snail was Seilide which is pronounced Shell-I-Da and is Irish for Snail. These guys were great friends and used to spend ages doing the flying snail dance each taking it in turns to be the flying snail. I sure miss these two  . I named the young Tiger snail Seilide after his friend when the first Seilide died. I have a feeling one of the baby bulldozers that I'll keep will end up being named Zorst 2  . Zorst |

Ahh tell me about it, everyone lets the rug rats get away with it when one of the snails die me I just have to keep quiet about it as its a lot of weird looks and comments like "There only snails!" My reply to that was "Yeah n who was it who sat up with me all night every night for months keeping me sane when I was really ill? It sure wasn't you it was Seilide!" I got my point across in that convo n no one has said anything since.
I also have some shell's some are buried but will no doubt come to the surface again over time others are resting out around the garden until the shell's are clean then the rug rats want them for there shelf.
As you say it so well Spook, these guys are family just like all the other pets we have.

Zorst Well he was my first Margie....and he started the theme that all my Margies would have names begining with 'M'........But anyway because he was sooo big....i wanted a name that sounded chunky....So like a big chunky marrow...we named him Marrow... |
