Default Your relationship with your tortoise?

I was wondering about what people class their tortoises as?

Pets? Friends? A hobby?

Pets, and so part of the family!
I love them to bits... and like to think they love me, but know that its probably just in my head!

My relationship with Dotty has recently gone a little frigid but I'm expecting it to warm up again and be more affectionate come spring.
