Best thing I bought in 2008 !
I bought the Turtles 2008 calendar, and enjoy it every morning as I get dressed to go to work. My family had ~10 desert tortoises when I was growing up, and have since always loved tortoises/turtles. This calendar was a joy, and I look forward to enjoying the 2009 edition!
