Shane's Pet


This is Oogway.  He is Shane's new pet.  Oogway came with the name Jeffrey, but we don't like that name.  He has a friend named Jenny, but she is either sick or hibernating... if she lives, she will get to join Oogway in the garden for some free-ranging!  They are Russian Land Tortoises and came to us from a friend who is moving.  I didn't even talk it over with Mark, I just adopted them on the spot.  He has been wanting to get a new snake for a long time, but the tortoises are just as good!  This has been a great project for Mark and Shane to work on together.  They are living in the shed with our chicks for the moment, but when it starts getting cold outside, they will move in downstairs by the fire.  We think they are five or six years old, but our research says they can live to be 50!  Oogway is just so cute.  Happy early birthday, Shane!
