Yesterday while tending to Bill, I heard the dogs barking out in the run. The "we're onto something" bark. Figured I'd best go check....a gopher tortoise was happily grazing on the outside of the fence. I watched for awhile...they are such neat creatures. It looked to be too large to fit through, so I didn't feel the need to point him/her in a different direction. No need really as it went into high gear when I let loose with a rather big sneeze.

They are like a turtle, but can't "retract" their heads and feet into their shell. I have a pic on this thing somewhere...will post if/when I find it.

Thank you, Stone, for posting the picture. Guess when I started this thread caregiving got in the way and I forgot to look for my pictures.

Cool-looking tortoise!
