March 31
Here's the logical progression:
1.) Discover with glee! Make little bite marks all over strawberry. Truly, there is no food that pleases this tortoise more. She actually sort of snorts with joy when she sees them in the tank. Lettuce doesn't get the same response. Bananas are a close second, but to feed her banana, I have to touch banana and SMELL banana, and that makes me gag.
2.) Become so happy about said strawberries that taking photography becomes impossible, due to the speed at which the head moves. Lookit! She sees a strawberry in her tank, get out of the way, she'll plow your ass down.
3.) Notice camera in face. What, like you want some freak in their pajamas taking YOUR photograph while you eat? I'd like to really think she was giving me a dirty look, because I think you'll all agree that she totally was. If she was a celebrity uncensored, she'd run up to me and knock the camera out of my hand, while pouring a beer over my head and giving me the finger. You think THIS is a dirty look? You should have seen how she flipped her shit when I took her out of the tank and put her on my bed to try and get some more fun shots. It didn't work out, because when you've angered your Chelonian, they aren't about to do tricks for you.
Is it wrong that I don't have anything else to say today? That my ENTIRE reason for posting was to put up photographs? Well, I guess it's kind of a tough break for you all if it is, since that's all I've got.
