The Turtle

Ali was given a ten gallon tank by a friend, and decided to put, not goldfish in it, but a turtle! As if we don't have enough pets! So a couple months ago, she got books from the library on turtle care, read up on them online, and picked out what kind she wanted. She decided on a Mississippi Map Turtle. So this afternoon after church we drove all the way to Kenmore near Woodinville, to pick up her turtle. He is so, so cute! Ali has been waiting for two months to get her turtle, and now she is so thrilled that she finally has one. But he still doesn't have a name, and she'd like some help picking one. So please take a look at the names on the poll she has narrowed it down to, and vote on your favorite. Maybe even get your siblings (if you have them) to pick their favorite also.

So our pet total is now 2 parakeets, 2 dogs, 6 puppies, (which will all be finding homes) 1 gold fish, and a turtle. But we love every one of them.Our computer is being impossible again, and isn't reading our camera cards, so this is a Google images picture of a Mississippi Map turtle. But he looks just like this.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:

but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Proverbs 12:10
