The circle of life

Shelly, the male turtle, died today.

Mia was heartbroken.
And I was heartbroken because she was heartbroken.
But thankfully she found a frog 5 minutes later and all was right with the world again. 
Under the less than ideal conditions it is currently having to endure I predict it will live about 2 more hours.

haha. Poor girl...

I'm surprised she let you take pictures of her crying. Mine freak out and yell at how rude I am when I do that!

This is going to devastate Raegan as well. I'm so sorry that I told you the poor thing ate hot dogs and strawberries. I thought you had a box turtle, not a water turtle. Now I understand why you had the hand gel sitting next to the sweet germy thing.

Sorry Mia.
