My tortoise ate some beautiful flowers and I'm happy!!!

Happiness is all relative. Relative to what could have been and what could make you unhappy. I had a large L tenebrosa with 3 gorgeous flower bunches ready to leave my house. I have had this plant for 9 years, it has 3 more sheaths and its just massive. It was siting on a lawn chair waiting for me to take it to my internist's office. (Free drug samples!!)

Big Bob, my 150 lbs Sulcata tortoise decided that the chair needs to be overturned so he did just that. Then he ate all the flowers.

The reason I'm over joyed is that he did not touch that valuable plant nor the other sheaths. I was able to hang it up again and wait for the rest of the flowers.

The glass was full, it's now only half full but never half empty, don't believe in that concept. OG's sacrifice will only be a small chicken as I did loose the flowers but how much worse could it have been.
