Are you kidding? She never takes her eye OFF of him!
Ol' Furface & I are going through that neglected phase that comes with any new pet.

I think both my dog and fiancé are feeling similarly, to be entirely honest (pet Ol’ Furface for me). I’m really liking the new tortoises’s name!Are you kidding? She never takes her eye OFF of him!

Not that anyone asked me
but I’ve noticed a pattern in the names of pets here.. Beardie = Ol’ Stinkeye
Dog = Ol’ Furface
Panther cham = uh, actually his name escapes me at the moment
Tortoise = Ol’ Mitch
Anyway, seems to me if you’re an animal member of the @Klyde O'Scope household, you get an Ol’ thrown in front of your name by default/as a term of endearment haha

IDK if it can be seen, but his back feet aren't touching the ground (neither are his front feet).
He stayed perched on his plastron like this for nearly an hour today—jest restin'.

pretty sure tortoises were planking before planking was ever “cool,” though. He’s adorable!

Definitely for the greater good that particular fad died out. Some things are best left to professionals/tortoisesSomehow I missed that whole thing...

I kinda missed flash/smart mobs too, and I'm sorry they died out—I thought they were kinda cool & creative. But I certainly see your point; some internet challenges are downright stupid & dangerous.Definitely for the greater good that particular fad died out.

We got a little more info...
Mitch is a Western Hermann's Tortoise ( Testudo hermanni hermanni ) of the Mallorca locale from the Balearic Islands west of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea (smallest of all the Western Hermann's Tortoises).

That's the pic from Wiki, but yeah... he'll get there one day.
Right now we're hoping he'll get big enough that we can actually see him!
