You know everyone is posting their pictures of cats and dogs.. I no longer have either , but if my 6 year old gets her way I am sure we will have a dog by May.
18 months or so ago a "friend" asked if we wanted a tortoise. It was small so we took it. It has tripled in size and still growing
The cool thing is "buddy" {An African Spurred Tortoise} is basically maintenance free. He loves to eat grass, and Hibiscus flowers and Hibiscus leaves. (all in the backyard)
He will actually come running to the door when we open it as he knows we have a fresh strawberry or two for him.
We have a Dog-loo (igloo shaped dog house) with a heatlamp on a timer to keep him warm on cold nights. In the summer he burrows in the lantana.
