Meet Squirt




OK what was I thinking??? I had this client come get her hair done a few weeks ago. She was telling me about this cute little turtle she had and was going to take it to the pet store. It was her daughters and she had moved to China or something and she (my client) was sick of taking care of it. So she said very nicely, "do you think your boys would want a pet turtle?" Of course Dawson's ears perked right up and he gets all excited... YES YES PLEASE OH PLEASE! Then I ask how do you go about taking care of this type of turtle? She gives me the 411 and I think oh how bad can it be? SURE! (hoping that gma won't mind a turtle in the basement of her home)
ANYONE LOOKING FOR A PET TURTLE?? He is cute and quiet and has a little tank of his own and he REEKS! I can't handle it anymore! I have cleaned his "home" 2 times now and both times thought I was going to toss my lunch!
I really need to clean him up again cuz the boys tell me he stinks so bad. (i don't even go near him anymore) but I can't bring myself to do it. Does anyone know if I could just drop him off at the pet shop....and run?? My mom told me to set him free outside (in the -23 degree) weather and that is that. I am not an animal fan but I couldn't do that to Squirt! Anyways, if ya know of anyone who wants a smelly tiny turtle named Squirt, let me know!
