Dearest Tank, what a beautiful Russian Tortoise you are! You are absolutely gorgeous, with that shell with such an interesting design on it, and that sweet face with those lovely big dark eyes. You are one handsome boy, with your coloring blending right in with your bedding. And I can just imagine, when you are on the move, that the Tank is rolling! You go straight for what you want, sometimes not realizing that you won't quite fit under it until you bump into it! You enjoy being picked up by your dear person, keeping your head out so you can look around from up high. You're very strong and fast, and you're only two years old, still just a baby as tortoises go. You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Tank, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
-- Terry Pratchett (1948—2015), Sourcery
But even more endearing than your outer beauty, your fearlessness and your strength is your big heart! How lucky your human is, Tank, having a best friend as sweet, as gentle and loving, as unique and as special as you, Tank! And considering your species incredibly long life span, you and your human have so, so many more wonderful years of shared love and companionship to look forward to! How wonderful is that!
