OUT! MCB is living and pooping at my brohters:)<BR/><BR/>Nilz...My boys have quite a knack for naming mundane things:)<BR/><BR/>Beth...Thanks for popping in! Yeah, I see everything as added work these days. i asked my husband if we could sell it all and travel the country in an RV for a year...he says he'll get back to me on it.<BR/><BR/>Amanda...Aside for the scary amount of turtle knowledge you pocess, i have to say I agree with you. MCB no longer resides with me, he is roaming free on my brother's land. <BR/><BR/>Ali...You are hilarious, we can be red neck friends, because I, for one, would probably attend and cheer out loud at a turtle race:)Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874958369943279206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083732494748031591.post-52767731085963771312008-06-09T13:07:00.000-04:002008-06-09T13:07:00.000-04:00Wow that thing is huge!

Our town is having a turtle race this week and I think that thing would scare off all the competition! <BR/><BR/>How redneck did that sound?!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804986298540603425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083732494748031591.post-83960779234034382042008-06-09T12:49:00.000-04:002008-06-09T12:49:00.000-04:00That looks like an African Spurthigh Tortoise, in ...That looks like an African Spurthigh Tortoise, in which case they need sooo much more than just dandelions to feed on during the day. I had one for two years and it wasnt as big as MCB is...that one appears to be pushing the 3-4 year old mark. They live for around 100-150 years and can weigh just as much. Oh, yeah, just wait until it starts to dig humongoid holes in your backyard. And where do you keep it when its snowing? A shed simply wont do when you have a 150 pound tortoise in your way. They are aptly nicknamed the 'little bulldozers' b/c nothing gets in their way.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the tortoise talk! I loved mine, his name was Ralph The Wonder Tortoise. Alas, Ralph had to move back to FLA with my aunt because I was spending more on food per week for him than for 2 adults!<BR/><BR/>Let dear MCB go...he'll be fine.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682335199464948382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083732494748031591.post-86223047811851982742008-06-09T12:26:00.000-04:002008-06-09T12:26:00.000-04:00"This is how I know I am old, I am practical.

Let's ride it around instead of a car, build it a tortoise hut behind the house, and paint politically relevant messages on it's shell!"<BR/><BR/>Ha! That about sums up our maturation, doesn't it. Once we're moms it just seems like EVERYTHING becomes a chore. He is a cool little ride-on toy though...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog.
