A Crusher update

I would like to thank The New Mexican for covering the return of The Crusher, our beautiful sulcata tortoise (“Runaway tortoise reunited with owner in Nambé,” Aug. 22).

For all the pet lovers out there, I need to assure them that The Crusher does not spend his days in a pen. He has a fenced-in yard with a kiddie wading pool, an ancient piñon for shade, native plants to snack on, a portal and a 16-foot wall of Virginia creeper for privacy.

Once again, thank you, Scott Wyland for the charming article, and the paper for publishing the kind of story we can all use right now.
