Our pet tortoise, Tipo died last Sunday. It is amazing how quickly pets become a part of the family. When Jim and I first got married, I teased him about his turtles and wondered how he could be so attached to little creatures that just sit and do nothing all day. Then, I started taking care of them and watching them as I worked on the computer and quickly grew to love them. I was amazed how much personality turtles can have. Tipo was very active and was always hungry. He would eat his food and then bully Logo out of his. He loved when we talked to him or pet his head and would get very active when I had music on in the room. Logo is a little antisocial and prefers hiding under his log and almost has to be forced to eat. We were worried about him and thought he may not be well. Tipo had grown to almost twice Logos size over the past several months, so we were shocked when we found Tipo dead on Sunday.
