when I was walking by the tortoise was in the front yard by the sidewalk, so I stopped to shoot the breeze with the homeowner, as I was curious, do they really like strawberries.
They do. But it is also true that they like to eat anything red, or bright orange. I was remembering a book my mom had when I was about 10, Readers Digest "Animals You'll Remember"
and one of the stories was about a turtle or tortoise that loved to eat strawberries.
After a bit of chatting, about turtles, the book, etc etc, I found out that it's a backyard critter, that escapes at every single chance. And someone left the side gate open, and it headed right for the front yard full of long green grass. After a bit, the neighbor came over to help get it back as it's too heavy to carry, it seems. So, furniture dolly!
