#ribbons – @thewhimsyturtle on Tumblr

When Waffles’s mom visited a few weeks ago, she brought a birthday present for Mommy: Two little tortles with their home and a vet just for them!

I helped Mommy match the tortles to their shells and made sure their noms are up to par. Mommy insisted we give the tortles a bath “because it’s good for them,” so I taught them how to escape from their bath! I also tried to inspect their cave, but for some reason, it kept moving when I tried to go inside. Mommy, make the cave stop being mean to me!

Bonus post: I was a good boy and did not nom the ribbons because it was Mommy’s present and not mine!

I definitely thought about nomming those pretty ribbons though...

Bonus photos from before we opened my birthday present from Waffles, Mango, and Torty: Colorful ribbons are irresistible!

For my second birthday several weeks ago, friends Waffles, Mango, and Torty sent me a fabulous birthday present! We have been so busy that we haven't had a chance to share the fabulousness of my present with you all yet!

Sweet Mango wrote me a lovely card with the best nom-like colors, and Waffles and Torty wrapped my present in the most beautiful ribbons! Even the wrapping paper was amazing: It was covered with colorful friendbeasts! After admiring my card and the wrappings on my package, we opened my present...a new senior friend for me!

Brunhilda and I hit it off right away (after a minor mishap when I almost tried to nom her pretty pink belly). Now I won't be lonely when Mommy is out. We are going to have so many adventures together!

Sparkly dresses, (rude) little people, and Mommy's second annual S&C gift basket---holiday season is in full swing! The best part about this gift basket? Mommy now has two future tortoise carriers for when I outgrow my current carrier! Mommy also squealed something about a dark chocolate bar filled with pumpkin seed praliné. I wanted to try the big sack of jumbo roasted peanuts in the shell, but Mommy said no peanuts for me. Phooey.
