Guadalupe





For those of you who don't know I bought a tortoise a little bit ago. I have always like turtles and had red eared sliders when I was younger. I saw the tortoises at the pet shop when I had to buy cricket for Becky's frog. I couldn't help myself.
I named her Guadalupe. It was the only name in Spanish that I have ever heard both guys and girls have. It turns out it is a girl turtle so the name is even more appropriate.

She got a little sick where her eye was basically sealed shut. I took her to the vet on Monday and although she is not all the way better she is improving.

Turtles are great but one thing he should know: they live a REALLY LONG time. This tortoise can live over 50 yrs.

I think Guadalupe is cute (Sam isn't sure why someone would want a tortoise for a pet). Hope she is feeling better.

So um yea, thanks for telling me you started a blog...geesh, took me a minute to figure out the Spanish also. Remember reptiles carry Salmonella also, so wash your hands after holding her :). Quint won't go anywhere near the turtle. Before his mission he was house sitting one of Tim's turtles died on him, I think it scared him for life.
