Meet "Tuggy"

With all the craziness going on in our backyard for this pool we found a turtle. I guess he had enough of the jack hammering and decided to look for a new home. I can't say I don't blame him for looking for a quieter place to live! ha. Because of all the Dora shows a kid (and parent) watches we decided to call him Tortuga. Which means turtle in Spanish. (Haddie we needed your help with the Dora Spanish) Tuggy is his name for short. The 3L's thought this was the coolest pet to have. They began to make plans for who can come over to meet Tuggy and whose room he would stay in. I just kept saying "let's talk to daddy when he gets home." As the day went on Tuggy was not that friendly of a pet. He hissed at you and demanded to be let out of the laundry basket. Poor guy! All he was looking for was a quiet place to live and ended up with three kids poking him and shouting his name. When dad got home the kids were ready for Tuggy to find a new place to live. What fun is a pet if you can't pick him up? I was just happy that I wasn't having to be the mean mom by saying No Way right off. haha! It just worked out. Thanks Tuggy! Anyway, we took our new found angry friend to Warren park and placed him in the creek. He was as happy as he could be. He popped his head out of the water as if to say "Thanks 3L's" and swam off.

Just another interesting day at the Reeds!
