The Tortoise of Mexico


We went with the all the kids to Mexico. Zachary stayed back with Carrie Leishman and then Melyssa Vielstitch. While we were there we looked at houses to rent. We just finished looking through one when a woman stopped us on the street. She was moving from a home across the street to a home further down the street. We started talking when what I thought was a lawn decoration turtle moved. She then told us that she had to wake up her pet tortoise from hibernation to move him to the new home. We had the kids come and see him. I was so fun to see him move around and check us all out. They just feed him some dog food and he just walks around the yard eating grass. I can't believe the different pets they have there.

So, are you going to buy a pet or just invest in lawn ornaments. I wonder if they will let you have a gnome for a pet...now that would be cool!
