Tuck the Turtle..

Well, I think we are going to release Tuck (our Turtle) back to the World.

We have had the Turtle,for about 3 or 4 months. He has been a good pet,but not the fun kind. Yes,we have let him out to roam the house for exercise,but the Boys won't leave him alone.

And you have to keep constant vigil on Tuck,becaue the boys are a little rough with it. Poor Tuck had been scraped across the carpet by Conner thinking it was a toy car,I thought for sure Turtles would probably get carpet burn,but he didn't.

But,as I have posted earlier,Conner sat on Tuck outside..and he has not been the same since. I thought he would snap out of it, but the poor Turtle is depressed.

Often times,I find him in the same spot,all the time. He is all the time flipping himself,and i get the eerie feeling that he maybe trying to pass himself on to a better life.

I have already talked to Mason about it,and I told him that he could think about it,but if We truly Loved Tuck,that we should set him free. In reality I do not want Tuck to die, because I have to admit I am attached to the little guy.

So,If anybody wants Tuck,to nurse him,or if you have a pond i could release him into, I would be glad to give you everything we have.....aquarium,food,and water drops.

Otherwise I will probably have Chris and Mason take him down to the ditch. I will miss him,but he just looks soooo sad, and I don't want him to die on account of me,and of course trying to protect Mason too.

Tell me what you think??? Am I right,or anybody else have advice...
