Hello Hugo! Wow! You are a big boy. It sure sounds as if you have a good home and a nice greenhouse in which to live. No doubt you are well cared for and loved. Congrats on being POTD! Kay in NC USA

Truly magnificent, that you are, Hugo; simply stunning! My jaw dropped when I read just how big you actually are, how much you weigh (almost double my weight)! What a great photo of you chowing down on some yummy, green grass! I was wondering how much you eat each day to maintain that weight! hehe

It's heartbreaking to think your species is near extinction in the wild, but hopefully efforts are being made to rectify that! You are truly one of God's great creatures, and the world would be a lesser place without you and those of your species, in it! But lucky you Hugo, you're living the good life there with your Tortoise buddy in your toasty warm greenhouse, your lovely, sunny garden; being cared for so lovingly by your devoted family! How lucky they are, having a beautiful friend, such a unique companion, inyou!

Congratulations on being crowed our very special, most unique Pet of the Day, beautiful, magnificent Hugo! I hope you and your Tortoise buddy are both being treated to an extra special day of celebration...and if your Dad wouldn't mind, maybe he could give you a carrot, for me! Long and happy life to you, Hugo!

Hugo Magnificent is for sure the word for you!!!

I so enjoyed seeing your picture and reading about you today. I think you might be the first African Tortoise I've seen. I am so happy you have a family who loves you and takes such great care of you.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our very special Pet of the Day!!!

To see you and be able to read all about you is a special gift that you have given to all of us at Pet Talk.

I wish you all - the healthiest and best long life together.

Magnificent doesn't even begin to describe you Hugo - you exceed our ability in the English language.
