Greetings Manueltia in Buenos Aries, Argentina! Happy Tortoise Tuesday Pet of the Day!

What a gorgeous girl you are, Manuelita! So excited to meet my first Gopher Tortoise! You're magnificent, your coloring and shell markings so beautiful!

We can only imagine how a tortoise native to the southeastern U.S. came to find herself wandering the streets of Buenos Aires! No place for a wee tortoise, for sure! Thankfully your human came to your rescue before any harm could come to you, welcoming you into her/his home and heart, providing you with the happiest of forever homes! And what's so extra special is the fact that your mom/dad is an experienced tortoise/turtle parent! Ahh, life is good! You truly are one extra special girl, Manuelita, and your human so very lucky, having a best friend as special, as gentle and loving as you in her/his life!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, Manuelita! Meeting you, seeing all of your lovely photos, has been a real treat! Hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration, exploring your garden, munching on yummy plants/greens, playing with your kitty pal, hehe, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love to you, beautiful Manuelita, our very special and most deserving Pet of the Day, EVERY day!

SO beautiful!
