We had the chance to turtle-sit for our friends half of August and I totally fell in love with her. Her name is Lily and she was so much fun! At first she wouldn't come to say hi, she would just hiss and swim away, but after a week or so she was swimming up to see what we were going to feed her. We would take her out and let her roam around our kitchen floor while we washed dishes and she was pretty feisty. She tried to get over or around everything we used to block her. She would just keep trying and trying. Sometimes she'd flip herself over, but she'd go right back to getting over the obstacle. Persistent!
We (or maybe just me) were so sad to see her go! I told Rob that I need a turtle pretty soon... he said... maybe. Or was it maybe not? Either way, I'm definitely getting one! I think turtles are some of the greatest pets! (I grew up with a Western Painted turtle named Roadkill, good ol' Roadkill)
Just so everyone knows: free turtle-sitting at the Bergs anytime!
