Hi, my name Sophie, and I'm currently living in Ottawa, Canada. I am currently living reptile free (such a sad existence) as my three-toed box turtle, Calvin, died a few months ago. He was an old dude when I got him, and a rescue, and I had him for five years. I'm not quite over it yet, and ready to move anyone new into his old bachelor pad (I'm getting there, though, all of your torts and turtles are so, so great!), but I had been poking around to see what was out there when I found you guys.

Aside from the fact that you guys kept me up waaaay past my bed time, and have stolen about six hours of my homework time, you guys are awesome! Everyone seems really supportive, and knowledgeable. You guys seem to be a really great resource, I'm so glad I found you!

So I look forward to poking around, and getting to know everyone, and helping out whenever/however I can. I'll try to get some pictures up of Calvin, as well as my current housemate Charlie (three-legged destruco-cat of doom) but in the mean time this will have to as a hello. So... hello!

Nice to meet you all,
Sop

Roger that, here are just a couple of my many, many pictures of Charlie Tango, Destroyer of apartment 605.

In the first one, he is sitting on my couch with the Strawberry flavoured Nutrigrain bar that he has just previously lifted from my purse. It took me a sec to figure out what that crinkling sound was...IMG_2037.jpg

The second is during a heat wave, and he had tried dragging my sketchbook off the coffee table, and lying on it to cool down, but he eventually figured out that the floor (and my slippers) was more efficient. Please note, as a bonus feature, the torn up bag of cat treats that I was silly enough to leave out in the open (on the second highest shelf of my bookcase...) which Charlie felt I had been unfairly rationing.

Thanks for the request, wellington, and thanks for all the warm welcomes!

That cat is ADORABLE! If he was tailless, he would almost be a ringer for my Honey ;)

Love the cat pics. He looks a lot like my Bengal and acts a lot like my Bull Terrier, trouble, but keeps ya laughing and on your toes. :D
