A lot of you know that Knobby has a new larger pen to roam around. More room, cooler room, more room, grass, grape plants too. So why oh why is he not happy there and continually testing the fence, and today. There's a great grape plant in the corner of fence and house, it's in and grown thru a 75 gallon cedar planter. Knobby seems fascinated by it, and keeps trying to squeeze around it. So I took a couple of cinder blocks and my old NASCAR tire and thought it was a done deal.
So I go to check on the tortoises, I do that thru out the day. Big Sam is playin in the sprinkler, but no Knobs to be seen. Seriously?
Cool tires

I don't know how long he had been there, but he wasn't trying to get out. I probably check on him especially every hour. Can you see him?

What a face. I'm thinking he is the ghost of King Robert III coming back to punish me. Look thru the grape leaves at that face in the previous picture
So here he is in all his badself.

this is a tortoise of a different color, no doubt. Even tho I moved the tire, he is still high centered and had just given up.

and just because, I have included this last picture as it is a prime example of what my sister always says, "if they can see thru it, they will try to get thru to it". He worries the gate time and time again. I have it wrapped so nobody is opening it. For me it is fun to show what ding bats Sulcata can be. How will he be controlled
when he's 100 lbs?

To me what's so funny is they are clowns. Big Sam follows me around his pen like a dog. He wants grape leafs, and if I don't offer him some within a few minutes, he leaves. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a Sulcata. I have 2 anybody want one???

I about had a heart attack...I have x amount of dollars in the bank, and more coming...but they wanted $368 UP FRONT to see him today. What a freakin insult! This is the same Vet who took care of Bob...So I fought for the exam (don't need it, as I know, and I palpated him but I didn't feel anything.) and 1 ex ray view not the 3 she wants. $206 and they snatched that amount from my bank account before they even took him inside. Robber barons
