Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I just think it's hilarious. It's hard to imagine that tortoises have a personality until you live with one. He hadn't had fruit for about a week (they are grazers) but he wanted some this morning and knew darn well where to find me :)
Every time I go out to the porch to "chill" and if I'm talking to someone in person, on the phone, or to the dogs, he always comes up to me. Food driven of course. |

You ain't seen nuthin' yet... Wait till the horses find out you can be leveraged.... They are also browsers and love apples.. and are much harder to move..  |
