White Dog supervised Tortuga, the Saharan Spurred Tortoise, as Brenna and Steve took apart, cleaned, and moved his enclosure to the front porch. Tortuga, now over one foot in diameter, wandered around the living room after Brenna gave him a bath. White Dog was concerned when he got close to her hoof chewie so she grabbed it from in front of him. White Dog was a little startled by his reaction of withdrawing into his shell and huffing; she backed up and stared until Tortuga came back out. Tortuga seems to like his remodeled space and White Dog is glad that he is once again contained.
