Our new baby

Yesterday our neighbors came by with a little baby they wanted us to adopt. It was a baby turtle and they wanted to make sure he got a good home. The boys were way excited to have a pet and after much discussion we decided to name him Mylo. We found a good place in the backyard for him to live and he seems happy there. I told the boys he will be hibernating soon and that turtles don't come out very often, just to get food and water and explore a little. But they are still really excited for Mylo to live with us. And Mylo will be the only pet these boys will ever have.

How cute! My brother had a turtle for a few years. They are a good pet to have... very low maintenance!

You, obviously, feel the same way about pets as I do.

We have our 3 turtles and they are the easiest pets in the world. Ours started hibernating in November and came back out in March or April. Love the name!
