About pets, love and friendship

Pets are the best friends!

Many years ago (ten years I suppose), my grandmother gave a little package to our family. Inside that box was an exotic creature, most known as a tortoise from the family Testudinidae. I don't really know what the species of this little buddy is, but anyways, is an awesome tortoise.

Initially, we didn't know how to call it; my grandmother said that it was a female, so we called it "Isabel" (not one of the best to name an exotic creature, but it stayed). Many years have passed, and the relationship between us had grown, especially with me. Sometimes, in summer, I fed her, pet her and played together in the backyard. And I noticed that tortoises are REALLY FAST, especially when they search for food. So it's a lie that tortoises are slow. But sadly, in winter, she has to go to sleep (she hibernates), so we couldn't play in three or six months of the year.
One year, in spring, we realized that Isabel was not a "she", was a "HE"! IT WAS MALE ALL THE TIME! (Don't ask how we realized that, it was a very awkward moment).
So, we had to change the name again, I said "Johnny" would be a great one, and everyone agreed, so it stayed till today.
And sometimes, when I'm so bored, I put him upside down and make him dance "break dance" or do stupid documentals, like programs of evolution from the channel of "Discovery Channel" starring my little friend. 
"...The little Proterosuchus looks for food in this unstable ecosystem near the Permian Extinction.
Will this little species be the reason for a future evolution?
Discover it in the next chapter of: "Evolution, species among us".
