Hi Dooley, I found this article this morning and I immediatly thought of you. :-D http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14464189/
Nice one Eilieen. My inlaws have tortoise and have had for over 15 years. She is called clover (altho for some reason my son called it Henry for a while when he first learnt to speak....noone could work out why!). Now our Uncle has one also, and she made a break for freedom and was found a few gardens along. She has recently laid eggs, and as they have a pair, we don't know if they are viable or not. Then, out of the blue, our cousin got one! Seems tortoises are in vogue in our family!
