I won’t lie. Even after spending five consecutive years together, there is so much about the inner life of a tortoise I will never understand.
Say, for example, that you are out foraging vigorously on the lawn for off-limits edibles.

After awhile, you get tuckered out from all that foraging. You look around to spot a cozy, comfy spot to lay your (cute, red-dotted) head.

You make your way over and get settled in, resting your adorable head on a plush and cozy…..brick.
