Awesome! Meet Lightning the Tortoise

When a friend of mine told me about this I didn’t believe her. This is too good. I love that the name is Lightening. My friend writes:

“Lightning lives on Kalorama St and comes out to mosey up and down the street. This is the second time I’ve seen this around 6 or 7 pm on a Friday.”

Does Lightning normally stroll about unattended?

And a joke for you: What does a snail say while riding on a turtle’s back? “Wheeeee!”

How big is Lightning? He appears to be pretty big. I hope they have a reasonably big place to accomodate him when he’s not on a walk.

Is Lightning an “other” entrant for Coolest Pet? I vote for Lightning! Love his coloring.

I used to live near him. He is very friendly – even my dog liked him!

I live on this block and love Lightning! His owner is the one in the white cap. He usually follows him up the block, turns him around, and follows back down.

This is Lightning. Thank you for all of your comments. I love Kalorama Rd. and meeting new people. Don’t be shy! Say “hello” next time you stroll by.
