We have two new members of our office family, a spotted turtle named Peter (above) and a red-eared slider named Lolita. They are refugees from our Boston office that closed (I love Boston). Ever since I was a little kid, I really dug turtles as pets. I had a slider for a brief stint when I was ten, but he never recovered from pet store shock and refused to eat. One day when I was over at a neighbors my mother made my brother’s release him into the wild. That stung, but now I bury it deep down in the soles of my feet, waiting to emerge someday as lead from a bell tower.
Anyways, we now have two turtles at the office that I am having a lot of fun feeding, watching, and catching salmonella from. I’m still contemplating getting one for the home. The wtb says I can if I can teach it to cuddle with her while I climb mountains. Or maybe I’m allowed to cut holes in the ends of a cardboard box, strap it to a poodle, and call it “Shelly.”
