"My Greenie"

Finally, we got Nicole a pet! Yes, a tortoise!

Nicole's eyes sparkled with pleasure and excitement upon seeing her new pet. She named it Greenie and she gave Greenie a company instantly - a toy tortoise! I really wondered if that plastic toy has added more joy or torment to poor Greenie :)

  1. Hi Contented mom, ha ha, Greenie has company, huh? Its always good to give young kids a pet...teaches them how to care for for animals, be it fish or tortoise.

    Had a friend long ago, his daughter kept a tortoise for years from she 5 years old to her teens...
    Another had hamsters. One a rabbit.....and one...a Rhode Island chicken.
    She had it hatched from an egg....watching it...then kept it as a pet....that chicken followed her everywhere thinking she was the mother, ha ha.

    Nice pic, best regards, Lee.
