Since I have moved into an apartment Mikey cannot live outdoors in the summer like he normally does. He is not very happy about this, so he gets a few hours a day to walk around the apartment. I also take him outside when its nice out.

The other day while he was walking around he finally ventured into the bedroom. Well, now I know what would happen if Mikey ever saw another male boxie. We have a big tall mirror that sits on the floor. When Mikey saw it he went nuts. He charged the mirror trying to bite "the other turtle". When he realized he wasn't getting it he walked around the mirror . . . and of course there was not turtle there. So he came back to the front and went at it again. I've never seen him act so aggressive before. Now I put something over the mirror while he is out.

Just thought I would share
