Well I made it, it was a very long night with very little sleep. See I could blame it on the Zoo but in fact I have some very strange  sleeping habits and last night was a dilly. During one of my many wakeful period I decided to check on Boris. Holy crap I had the bejeezit   scared out of me. Now I don’t know a lot about tortoises  and their sleeping habits might be as strange as mine but he sure looked dead to me. Now one would assume (and you know what those letters stand for) that when a tortoise sleeps he would pull his head in his shell when he was asleep. Nope, his head was all the way out and laying on the bottom of his tank. You see when my son bought Boris for Sarah he said give it a week and it will probably be dead, will at 4:30 he looked dead to me, so I say boy you didn’t even last a day and turn off the light. WOW!! Poor Sarah I think, I felt so bad for her so I think maybe I should take him out  of the tank so she won’t see him first thing she wakes up. So I turn the light back on, he picks up his head looks at me as if to say are you nuts or something and then lay it back down.  Anyways the whole point of this story is, what they say about judging a book by it’s cover is true. Boris is alive and well and I am still sleepless.
