What I can see of the face is an awfully sweet looking face.

Except for his jaw, he really is pretty. And very bright eyed and nosy now that he knows I have treats! I just don't believe he's ever had a taste of strawberry or watermelon. I'm sure he's had a crappy diet, so he won't get too many treats yet, but he did eat half of what meal I gave him.....and all were picked from outside. Leaves and blossoms, clover, grass etc.....

SWWEEEET Ride Miss Y'.......:)

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. My own personal ride was a Yamaha 250. My husband had several knee surgeries (eventually on both legs) and the last one left him with a fused knee on the right leg, so he wasn't able to ride anymore. That's why he bought the Harley with the side car. We had great fun on that machine! After he died, I eventually had to sell it because I couldn't afford the insurance.

Maggie, if you decide to rehome him, I'd love to offer a home.

OK, some of you know that I started volunteering at the local wildlife center. So some jerk, found a tortoise walking across the road in Portland, (100 miles away) and he drives it down here to Corvallis. So they call me and I go get it and hear the story. Now please explain to me how easily it would be to find it's owner 100 miles away. EXCEPT even if the tort was found here in Corvallis, the only reason I would try to find the owner would be to have them arrested for animal cruelty. Here's the picture why, and no, his mouth is not open, that's his bottom jaw sticking about 1/8th of an inch. I am so freakin mad, I will close my computer after I post this picture for you noob's to see how you personally can ruin a tortoise's life by NOT DOING YOUR RESEARCH!!! grrr:mad:

He's only 5 inches long, no way to tell how old he really is. He was petrified of the water. Probably never been in any before.

If you've been to Texas why didn't you let me know? I'd cooked you and Jeff some BBQ.
