Homecoming

At about 9:30 AM, Mary went to the Utah DWR to adopt Frank the Tank. The Tortoise Lady said that they chose Frank especially for us because Mary had made such a beautiful habitat with so many delicious weeds and flowers.



Apparently, according to the Tortoise Lady, Frank is too young to know if he's a she or if she's a he. If he's a she, "Frank" is short for "Francine" and you can call her "Frankie" if you like. If she's a he, "Frank" is short for "Frank". Either way, he/she will be might upset if you get her/his name wrong and Frank will go for your throat.

Since Frank has lived here for over eight hours, I consider myself somewhat of an expert. Any Tortoise will tell you that their favorite song is Tortoise by Ry Cooder:



Tortoises are of course natural martial artists. The best Tortoise Martial Art documentary is without question an episode of the Power Rangers.



Some of you probably think that a Tortoise's favorite food is pizza, but that's just ridiculous. You can't believe everything you see in a cartoon. Cartoons are barely 75% truth. Their favorite food is pancakes.



Before you think you can adopt a Tortoise, understand that it's only for the chosen few who can build a habitat. If you like, and you give me one million dollars, I'll build you one like we have.











And if, and only if, you follow all of my advice, especially giving me one million dollars, you too can have a Tortoise this happy:
