Daisy

Today has been the worst day ever and I cannot believe I am again putting something sad on here but......  I had a  very upsetting phone call from some good friends who had Daisy and have just got Maisy. They had left them both outside in their outdoor pen which has a top to it. When they got home they found one of their little dogs had got the lid up and taken Daisy out.. proceded to play with her and chewed her shell!!!! They rushed her to me but I could do nothing as the skin had also been punctured so they took her to the vet.  Unfortunately, although the shell could have been glued the dog had punctured a lung so poor little Daisy who was just a year old   had to be put to sleep !!!!  Again  I have been crying but I want to say to all of you who have dogs ,cats PLEASE PLEASE make sure when you are not at home that your tortoise or tortoise's  are safely away in pens etc with lids or in another room that you know your dog cannot get into because although  my friends little dog was not trying to kill Daisy  it ended that way....... My poor friends are so distraught but it is not their fault they had a lid on the pen ,it was just a horrible  tragic accident.......
