R.I.P. Pieni

I received the bad news today that my tortoise Pieni, a beloved pet for 12 years has passed away. I cried a bit - there was nothing Mikki could have done more for the little creature, and I don't think he could have done anything to prevent this.

Just highlights the fact that people really shouldn't take pets they know nothing about - we always did our best to take care of it, but many things about the diet for example wasn't even known when we got it. With our current knowledge we wouldn't get a pet like it - but it's just one of those things, live and learn.

I will miss the little critter. My mother has promised that we can bury it on their yard in Jollas.
