It has been so long since I have posted anything that a lot of you probably didn't even know we had a pet turtle for a while. Our neighbor found this little turtle in his backyard (well, actually his dogs did) and he brought him over to see if we wanted to keep him. The kids decided to name him Speedy (we weren't sure if it was a boy or girl, but we called it a he). We looked up turtles on the internet and how to care for them. Sutherlan loved him! Unfortunately, Speedy began trying to escape his cage because it was clear and he would spend hours climbing the sides. We felt so bad for him that we decided he would be best in our backyard behind the fence where there are woods and water. We decided to set Speedy free today and although it was hard for Sutherlan and I to see him go (because we had become so attached to him), we felt he would be happier in his natural habitat. You never know, Speedy might just hang around out back, but I bet he will be happier there and not in a little plastic cage!
We will miss you, Speedy!!!
