I've drug her out of her corner in the laundry room a few times in the last month, but this was the farthest she's gone on her own.
Otis had to check her out immediately. She was not amused.
Then she discovered the heat lights and kicked Tuga out of his favorite spot. She's sleeping there tonight instead of putting herself to bed.
That's what's cool about Hermy. She gets herself up from her corner and walks to the back door when she wants to go out. At our old house, she walked to the fridge first to eat breakfast and then walked to the back door.
When we bring her in at night, she walks to her new food area, eats, and then walks to her corner in the laundry room to sleep. She totally trained herself too. Smart old girl!
Hermy is a desert tortoise that I have a special permit to have. She is between 50 and 80 years old. I've had her 7 years next month--the longest pet I've ever owned as an adult. And, to be honest, she's totally my favorite. :)
Here's a couple more pics--
HER corner!
