We interrupt this Caribbean cruise broadcast to show you the life of a turtle!
This once unsuspecting turtle thought he had the life in the lush jungle of our front yard...until a 6 year old boy found him and wanted to make him his pet
for life!
The sweet turtle escaped the jaws of death from the monstrous weed wacker! Thank heavens my husband saved his life (after almost taking it).
Thus, the reason for the bloody pictures.
The life of a turtle is an adventurous one!
Living in the jungles of Missouri and then becoming domesticated at the hands of children can be overwhelming. But this adorable turtle is taking it in strides.
Imagine your home being picked up at any given moment, rolled around, turned upside down, stroked over and over again, poked at by a one year old...
thus the reason they have a HARD SHELL!
He's enduring well.
This tiny tender turtle was then given a bath by a sweet 6 year old who was looking after his needs, concerned about his bloody mouth and his grassy shell.
(Kam was nervous at first, didn't really know what to think of this "thing" and then finally touched it!)
After the intrigued children gazed at the awe inspiring, death defying turtle, he decided to do some magic tricks for them, entertaining them all the more!
Who knew turtles were so dynamic.
Welcome to your lavish home Charlie! Made of sticks to climb across, grass to eat, water to swim in, a hut to shade you and carrots to gnaw on. We hope these accommodations are appropriate.
(because to a 6 year old they were essential ☺)
You're so cute!
