All summer long when evening comes Andy goes in his tortoise house(a large wood dog house). However, every winter he wedges himself behind the large rose bushes and stays there until someone moves him. Then he usually goes right back the next day. Yesterday it rained most of the day and when I went to check on him, he was up to his chin in a pool of water. At fifty pounds he is getting too heavy to move. It took both my son and I with a couple of shovels to get him out. He loves being behind the roses but as soon as possible they are going to be fenced off! The picture of his home is old and the dog house in the pic has been replaced with a larger one.
