Henry and Harry have gotten huge! Henry gained five pounds in one year, I had to build them a larger Tortoise pen made out of cinder blocks and pavers.

@jcboy,
You know I’ve been stressing out about the move so I asked my doctor for a Xanax prescription, well I didn’t want to take a whole one so I’d break it in half, well one time I broke it in half and the half fell on the floor and my dog Frankie ate it, first I freaked out but the Puerto Rican nurse said it wouldn’t hurt him at all, Frankie is a 100lb dog, he was fine but he slept for about four hours.

@jcboy,
I keep a medical log so as to keep track of use of pills
and to maintain an optimal period of time between them.

If u leave enuf time between Xanax pills,
that shud serve to avoid addiction. I hope.

@OmSigDAVID,
It’s feeding time at the zoo. I picked up some dandelions at the health food store. It’s like a treat for the tortoises.

@OmSigDAVID,
I have to buy this 25lb bag of tortoise chow from the feed store, they eat that 25lb bag every two months.

The one tortoise has consistantly remained larger.

Will the smaller one ever catch up do you think, or is that just there individual body compositions?

@chai2,
I think the larger one is female and they grow a lot faster then the males. She will eat all day long if you let her.

This will be both of them in about ten years.
