Since we have put a hold on getting any "real" pets like a dog, the kids (and Moss) have found other ways to fill our life with a variety of pets. The turtle stayed with us longer than planned, of course, and the kids were sad to let him go. When Moss told the kids we could keep it for two or three days, Jacob promptly said, "I pick three days." I was afraid he was going to starve to death, so yesterday (8 days later) we took him down to a creek and let him wander off into the woods. Fortunately we also were going minnow and crawdad fishing in the creek with little nets so the kids were quickly distracted. Actually they seemed to have forgotten completely about the poor turtle. Frogs are also an exciting find around here. This little guy seemed to sing everytime the kids picked him up. It was quite entertaining.

AHHHH...turtles are so cute. i am sad you had to let it go, but for its sake, you most likely made the right decision!
Are you sure you don't want to get a dog? Your kids look so happy!
