 I'm not sure I would have found the turtles 
                                            if Faith hadn't pointed them out.

They were actually swimming on top of the yucky green water.

"I am now a turtle. 

Virtually everything I own is on my back,
and suffice it to say I am one ton lighter,

 and therefore 2,000 pounds happier. 

All houses are gone."

Do turtles make good pets?

"While turtles may seem like easy,-low maintenance pets, 

many people are surprised at how much work they require. 

Adding a pet to your family can help teach children responsibility, but turtles are not the ideal pet for families 

with children who like to hold their pets. 

If you have children who can be quiet observers, 

this fascinating reptile may make the perfect choice."
