Pink Granite said...: Is he real? Or is he a lifelike replica and I should feel silly? Does he live there all the time or does he just visit?; March 17, 2009
Ms Brown Mouse said...: Lee, no, Kenneth isn't real. But don't feel silly - When I first bought Kenneth I hid him in the garden and when Mr Brown got home after dark I introduced them, quietly, via a window and a torch (flashlight). Kenneth's eyes twinkled. Mr Brown's first words were "O shit mouse, what the fuck are we going to feed that? Where did you get it?"
He was a little cross you see, us having had the no more pets discussion just days before :); March 17, 2009
Ms Brown Mouse said...: Poor Kenneth, his paint job needs a bit of a touch up and one of his legs broke off a few years ago.; March 17, 2009
Zoomie said...: If Mr. Brown will just move Kenneth around from time to time so that you come upon him by surprise in different places in the garden, he will seem just like a real tortoise, only he doesn't have to be fed.; March 18, 2009
Roo said...: Get a real one, see if anyone notices? and Kenneth?????? where did that come from? ;o); March 18, 2009
Ms Brown Mouse said...: Zoomie, Kenneth cannot be moved for fear of his losing another leg.
Roo - no such thing exists in Australia, legally, and I don't know where to start, illegally!
As for the name, his father was Kenneth the Amazing Flying Tortoise!; March 18, 2009
