I now have a new pet It doesn't quack, oink, growl, squeak, bray or Wit Woo I can throw paint on him and he doesn't mind He has a little wizened head and face He doesn't make a noise. If he does it must be quiet If you grow lettuces, Shell will have a good old munch so be careful Shell moves slowly but his life expectancy could potentially be a few hundred years Would you like a pet like Shell? I have a friend who also has a similar pet but she calls hers Tortoi Are you having a good Tuesday?

My neighbors had two, but they gave them away last year.

@Gilljane They dig and those of my neighbors "escaped" a few times. He finally had enough and gave them to stay in a very large park where there is a pond and they will be safe.

I would prefer a dog. My Tuesday was good. We had pizza to celebrate our anniversary as you know. Have a great day.

@Gilljane Yes they do. But they are so loving and affectionate. I miss having dogs.

Dogs are lovely but need a lot of looking after

So far, so good. I’m moving faster than your turtle today.

My neighbour used to keep a lot of tortoises, I was surprised how quickly they could move when they wanted to!

@Gilljane They used to come 'running' for fresh apples! They were also pretty lively in spring.
