Introducing Speedy

We got a turtle. She is an African spurred tortoise.
Her name is Speedy and she can actually book it pretty fast. The girls think she is way cool and love to pick her up like she's a cat.
First a kitten and now a turtle...this "no more pets" business isn't working out too well for me. I'm not gonna lie,  I don't mind her so much because she's about as low a maintenance as you could ask for in a "pet". All we have to do is let her roam the yard and throw her some lettuce every now and then. Not too hard.

And I gotta admit, I kinda like just saying that we have an African Spurred Tortoise. From Africa. Where we live.

Yup. Still hasn't gotten old yet. :~)
