I won’t grow up,
I don’t want to go to school.
If growing up means
It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!

Today I spent lots of energy testing humom’s new blanket for warmth and snuggliness. It was very hard work. So when I woke up an hour later I told her I approved of new blanket and asked for a snack. All the work makes a tort hungry!

!!PLEASE REBLOG!!

just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday i found a tortoise and kept him overnight, and today i let him go, i am in extreme grief and don’t know how to cope without my good friend Noggin… if anyone has a turtle/tortoise send pics of them pls

HOLD UP! I know a #turtpocalypse emergency when I see one! 

I know it must have been heartbreaking to let noggin go. Were they a wild tortoise or an adventurous pet? Either way, you did a wonderful thing! A wild tort needs to stay wild. It’s their best life and important to the life of the entire ecosystem around them. And if you reunited noggin with their family that’s a good thing too…

But back to the issue at hand! You need tortoise/turtle love and we are here to provide!  We post turtle and tort love from around the web 3x a day. There are quite a few fantastic torts here like  @wafflesworld​  @thewhimsyturtle​ @rambosaysso​ @anne-fine​ @turtlessuggest​  just to name a few. 

Most importantly, here is a picture of Zoya Pants enjoying a snack while giving me a little side-eye for not feeding her sooner.   I hope this tides you over for now!  Just know that you’re on the right side of the #turtpocalypse !

#Tortblr! Let’s fill this post up with all the amazing shells we know! GO!

When I come home and check on Zoya, she’ll sometimes tortle over really fast. stopping at the edge, and stare up at me like “HI!”.  My heart immediately turns into a big ole mushy pile of goo 😍😍😍😍
