Have You Met Tank?

If you don't know Tank, let me introduce you.



Tank is a tortoise. But I guess you could tell.


She belongs to our neighbor.


Tank is not a boy but a girl.


She had been named Tank when they thought she was a he and they decided to keep Tank as her name.


Tank likes to visit her neighbors.



She gets around and is remarkably fast for a tortoise.


She likes to visit us and eat our weeds.


And that's a good thing.


We have lots of weeds for her to feed on.


She was in our yard one day when the UPS guy delivered a package.


He was quite excited and wondered if we knew we had a turtle in our yard.


I said, "Oh yea. That's Tank. She's the neighborhood tortoise."


Doesn't every neighborhood have a tortoise?


Some neighborhoods are known for their dogs.


Some have the cat that everyone knows.


But our neighborhood has a tortoise.


And her name is Tank.


She's friendly.


And I think all neighborhoods should have a tortoise.
