I'm not going to lie, it's a little weird without Toby the Tortoise around. Too quiet, for starters. We all got used to his scratching around in his box. And then when I went to the grocery store this morning I bought way more lettuce than I needed, forgetting that Toby doesn't eat dinner at our house anymore. (We'll be eating lots of salads the next few days!)
Long-term we're thankful Toby is in a better home with people who really know tortoises, and hopefully he'll get along well with Richard the older tortoise who already lives there. I'm sure Toby is having WAY more fun in their yard, where there's no pool and no crazed "puppy" dogs. Short-term, I'm enjoying reclaiming that lost counter space where Toby's box sat for 2 years! Change is good.
Here was Toby back in July 2010:
And here are some fun pictures we took on Toby's moving day. Look how much he's grown since we got him!!
