🎈HAPPY 🎉 GOTCHA 🎁 DAY 🎂, BRATANIK! 🐢 🇷🇺 💚 I love scrolling through Instagram to see everyone's awesome lives, but I realize I rarely ever post my own, other than the occasional coloring page or pet's birthday... and today is no exception! Ha! 12 years ago this week, I adopted this little dude into my family and have never regretted it for a second. He had a rough start, due to the fact that his previous home kept him pretty terribly (wrong cage, wrong diet, etc) and then literally dropped him off in a shoebox outside Petco before it even opened on a chilly autumn morning, but after much due homework (already had my #turtle, Tortuga, but Bratanik was my first #tortoise) he proved to be a fighter (in the nicest sense of the word... He's tough, but also still has THE best temperament ever and is just a sweetheart to the many, many children he helped teach over the years.) but became and remains healthy, hardy... and just plain a-Dork-able! Since Brat was 40ish when I brought him home (and Russians are a pretty small species as Turtles and Tortoises go), I don't take as many "Oh look how fun he's grown!" type pics as I do with his cousin, Tortuga, so I just picked a fun Halloweenish one from back when we taught at #ThanksgivingPoint. It also just suits him, because feeding him his salads and watching him patiently "Nom Nom Nom" away under his sun lamp really does make me feel like I am raising a miniature dinosaur. He is such a good boy, and probably the only "baby" I will have that is older than me! So, yeah. Happy #GotchaDay, #MyShellBaby! Many (many MANY... Potentially 100+ years, dude!) happy returns from your #HuMom and all your #CritterSibs (Sparks McGee 🐶, Cali 🐱 , Tortuga 🐢, Juno B. Prynne 🦎, and all the other bugs 🦋🐌🐛, fish🐠🐡🐟, Fosters 🕊️, and "Wildings" 🦌 that share my life!) #rescuepetsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #fosterpets #petparent #RussianTortoise #herpstagram #ReptileMom #adoptdontshop #iliketurtles #CritterKids #Shellbabies #RescueAPet #TheyllRescueYouToo #2ndHand1stInYourHeart (at Orem, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rEs-GBxWp/?igshid=75n2pni8g7c6

Hi, my name's Moon. Tho I can be very independent, I sometimes follow my humom meowing for food even if I already have a bowl full of it, just because I want her to go with me. I meow endlessly until she goes upstairs with me too - I'm such a star I can't be alone inside the house. Also, I have a long and complicated story. But I really love my humom!

I only share my #protein with one bitch, @ewok.the.wookie 🐩💕💗.. Since March 2016 til today, May 30, 2019, she #eatsclean just like her #huMom. 👍🏾. @gatorade #whey #proteinbar #ThrowbackThursday #dogselfie #transformation. . . #DogsOfIg #DogsofInstagram . . . . . .

This happy, smart, good good girl 🌸🤩🌸. We’ve been doing some leash training these last three days and when I do it RIGHT she’s a true star 🤩. She knows what to do it was just me who wasn’t experienced enough to explain it to her 😔. I’m so happy I fully understand now what to do 😍🙏🏼 #happy #humom (på/i Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrC9Ov_FsZv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2c468gnztmbf

#humom says I am driving her crazy... so it is appropriate that I am in the #driversseat #sundayvibes #lotsofenergy #puppylove #wonttradeitfortheworld (at Watauga Pavilion) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bng0mYcFLI_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7rmwxp71rqxo

It was a long ride today to get back to Cali!! Two weeks out and about with our humans, we had such a great time and our #Humom said we were so good! #bordercollie #australianshepherdofinstagram #bordercolliesofinstagram #australianshepherd #tripletrouble #jaxxsissymaggy (at Kathy Rodriguez) https://www.instagram.com/p/BneDjw0FeD6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10bkt9vkagf0g
