The Newest Member of the Zoo




Here is our newest addition, Tortilla. Piper has been asking for a tortoise, I remembered our neighbor had one and asked her some questions. Before we could blink we were the proud owners of Tortilla, our neighbors 7 year old elongated tortoise. I mention its age because they can live to be 100, needless to say we impressed upon Piper the tremendous responsibility. She really has been a great help (so far). She is totally cute and we are working on our tortoise habitat as we speak. Apparently, elongated tortoises are rare in the us and are getting eaten to extinction in China, Piper will tell anyone who listens not to eat tortoises:-) As you can see from the pictures Joey has taken a liking to her too.
