and things have been so busy for a while that I realized that I hadn’t been spending much time with him.

So I started spending a little more time with my pet. How do you spend time with a turtle? You might ask.

Well, I don’t take him for walks. Sometimes I take him outside and I let him look for worms… I have to be in a certain mood for that though.

I like to let him walk around my room. He loves to explore. What he REALLY likes is when I lie on the floor, and let him on my belly. He loves to ride as it goes up and down with each breath. It’s so cute. And while he’s there, he’ll sometimes crawl up onto my chest and look at my noes and mouth really close… like “What’s in there?”

It’s amazing how you can bond with a turtle.
