Anyone else obsessed with their tortoises....

[tortoise_world123]

Everyone around me says that it's weird that I'm so attached to my tortoises...anyone the same or is it just me?????

 

[Yvonne G]

Nope, not us. No obsession here, my friend. I'm afraid you're riding that horse all by yourself!

 

[russiantortoisegirl]

Yvonne is pulling your leg, incase you didn't know it. Look where you are and all the members here. Do you really think,you are the only one? Some members may not be, but majority are. As for the people thinking your nuts, they are the ones that are nuts and don't know what they are missing.

Some people may not understand! I love how curious my torts are, they are just so awesome!

Dangggg those torts are so big!!! Is the one standing up tryin to get a treat? lol

 

[Gillian M]

Frankly speaking I am, and the fact that I had never had a pet before/dealt with any animal made me more obsessed with my beloved Greek tort.... OLI.

He has not been moving from a spot he sits in lately, and has been driving me nuts!

Good to hear you are not alone ?

 

[Careym13]

YES! My friends think I am insane....but I don't care...I'm gonna keep obsessing

 

[leigti]

YES! My friends think I am insane....but I don't care...I'm gonna keep obsessing

Me too. None of my friends understand it.

Me too. None of my friends understand it.

All I had to do was look at the adorable, grumpy, flat faces of my Leopards and I was hooked. My friends obsess over parrots (so do I but not as much) yet they think I'm nuts for obsessing over tortoises. Whatever...their loss!!!!

 

[tortoise_world123]

Good to hear I'm not alone on this haha. Everyone says tortoises are boring and are not like dogs and cats but I disagree.

 

[mike taylor]

Nope not obsessed at all . Just have a yard full and a bunch of Tortoise statues and figurines.
