Hello turtle lovers. I took Buddy to the vet to get a check up and to make sure that I was taking good care of him. It was an all around wonderful experience. Jeff really is the Dog Whisperer. There was this terrified pit bull who kept trying it’s hardest to crawl underneath Jeff’s legs. He had this face on like “please help me”. It was so cute. So back to Mr. Turtle… It’s been confirmed! Mr. Turtle is a Mister. and oddly enough (much the the vet’s excitement) he has a male symbol on his underside. We were so happy that he was healthy and happy that we went out and bought him a brand new home. A MUCH bigger aquarium and some new aquatic plants to nibble on. He LOVES it. I took pictures of him as well as all the snow that has been happening, but I have no way to upload them at this time. I can’t wait to show you his underbelly (that sounds way more pervertish than I meant it to).
