Hello

[Adarsta86]

Hello and greetings from northern Maine! My name is Jennifer and I am the proud co-ownder (the other owner is microtrumpet) of a Russian Tortoise. His name is Rasputin and he is truly the joy of my heart. He is the first Tortoise I've ever owned, but I hope he will not be the only.

Welcome Jennifer! I don't know what it is about turtles that make people love them so much, but once you get one...your gonna need another! Get it? It's like the book "when you give a mouse a cookie!...." Okay, maybe thats just me
sorry for all the cheese,
Katie

Hello and welcome.

Great now we have both halves and can start feeling like we are getting the whole picture! Welcome! Maine is such a pretty area, except those signs saying to watch for moose are just their idea of a joke. Can you tell I am one of those frustrated folks yet to get to see a moose?

Maine is a very pretty area! It's not my ideal place to live though since it gets fairly cold and the year I moved they got a record 200 inches of snow! I also don't like the moose around the springtime. I had never seen one until I moved there and then all of a sudden I couldn't go anywhere without seeing at least ten.

Not fair!! I wanna see some mooseies *goes into childish pout mode* Seriously, I look and look and never get lucky enough to see one.

LOL That's how I feel about Jeremy. I was born and raised in Vermont, which is where my family resides still. I've never seen a Moose in Vermont, in fact the first moose I saw was 6 months after I moved to Maine. He saw one last Christmastime, and I've been jealous ever since. I mean, really, it doesn't make any sense why a south Jersey boy would see a Vermont moose before a native!

!! You would think so wouldn't you.

actually moose is both singular and plural

You soon come to recognize a lot of us have (or at least try to have) a sense of humor in here. Moose is just one of those words ya got to play around with.

For you Jacqui:

I know it's not as good as seeing a moose in the flesh, but have faith--it'll happen!


The other attached picture is of a Candian Lynx, which Jeremy and I came across one afternoon on the way home. By far the coolest wildlife I've encountered!


And, since this is a forum dedicated to tortoises, this is my baby! Rasputin!
