Mother Hen in the Sun

My friend Joe says I'm like a mother hen watching over all her chicks when I'm outside with all the tortoises. 

This is me-- 

OK, where is everyone? 

(Pointing as I check) 

Tuga

Lil Foot

Otis

Georgie

Derp

Pudge 

Pan 

Baby Foot 

Who am I missing? 

Heidi? Where's Heidi? 

OK. There she is. Heidi.

(Counting in my head) .... That's 8. We have everyone.   

Repeat this every 5 minutes and that's what it's like having all the tortoises outside. Fun & relaxing for them, not so much for me. 

When the snow in our fenced garden area melts and it warms up over 70, the smaller torts will go in there making it way easier to find them.
