Brynna! Shame on you! You sometimes speed on your way to work? That is just SO wrong! Why slow down? blink To whoever says his landlord looks like gollum... I am your landlord. I uh... nearly buried the tortoise in the rubbish bin. Well dammit, it was floating in the pond, pale, leggies stuck out, head under water... it LOOKED dead. But my confession is that I didn't tell my Dad about the suicidal tortoise. And that years later I got home, asked where the tortoise was and was told "Ohh... it died last summer. Drowned. In the pond. We buried her at the bottom of the garden." I cringe to this day, but I don't have the heart to tell him that the poor thing was probably very much alive... Poor poor Agatha was probably holding her breath...
