When you know that you will have your own house built a few years down the road, and you're already planning the attic to be a finished attic, a whole room just for the torts, with skylights that open up to let the sunshine in every sunny day.

I'm really ill.....
I've had Basenjis (African Barkless Dogs) for 22 years, and now tortoises...and my tiny, single income, crappy vet tech salary has a meager grocery budget...and more is spent on high quality dog food, and arm loads of organic greens for the torts....then I spend what is leftover on a few tidbits for myself.
Wouldn't have it any other way. [GROWING HEART][GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES][TURTLE]


Wait....I've got another...

When you sit down in your favorite chair with a blanket, a snugly dog, and a good book for an afternoon of quiet reading....the new book being "Health Care And Rehabilitation of Turtles and Tortoises", and commence reading it from cover to cover.

When you are sitting on the floor watching TV and you reach for your coffee and get the crap scared out of you by your Russian Tortoise who is free roaming the living room because it is a bit chilly and rainy out and you had to go find him in the pitch black and rain because you were worried about him.

Also, I have done everything everybody has said here!

LOL

That's my house today. Everyone is loose in the living room and exploring. I love it when they cross paths, check one another out, maybe exchange a few unpleasantries, then continue on. LOL

You explain to every neighbour adjacent to you that spraying there lawn with pesticides is dangerous cause it could get into your dandelion friendly yard and poison the tortoise (of course your holding the tortoise for impact) and now the neighbors are bringing big juicy dandelions they are so proud to have grown. Lol.
