As most of you know, I have a Russian Tortoise named Pickle. But recently he hasn’t been receiving enough love and time from our family.
We all had to come up with the decision that was best for him. We knew that he wasn’t having the best life at our home and that in order for him to have the best life he could, we’d have to sell him.
So we did. Yesterday, a lovely couple came to pick him up. They had been looking for a tortoise for a while and were happy to hear that Pickle was for sale with all of the needed equipment. We delivered them all of the information they needed about raising him.
It was sad to watch him go but we all knew it was best for him.
So this means that I won’t be spending as much time on this website as I used to, unfortunately.
Now, I have a bit of a secret. I spent years craving for a pet tortoise. And when I got one I was extremely ‘over the moon.’ I loved Pickle with all my heart, but, one day I was reading a forum on this app about how a woman had fell out of love with her tortoise and she mentioned al of their cons. This unfortunately led me to start wondering and second guessing whether Pickle was what I had wanted.
And from that day I had never treated Pickle the same. I weren’t as in love with him. You know, it probably wasn’t that woman’s fault, but i have always blamed her and will never forgive the selfishness of posting bad things about her innocent tortoise.
Lots of love and possibly a temporary goodbye,
