This is a fun weekly meme under the direction of Jenny Matlock. You, too, can join in the fun! This week our letter is "T." Visit all the other wonderful entries HERE.
Turtles were my favorites when I was growing up...turtle anything! So cute!
I had a few of the little turtles that were sold in the pet shops...I think they stopped selling them for years and years, cuz of the possible salmonella or bacteria associated with them.
What a sweet little fellow! Just a work of caution, though--turtles can carry salmonella, so please, everyone, don't let your young child handle one. And always make everyone wash their hands afterwards!!!
Funny Judie should say that, I was just going to tell you I got Salmonella when I was a kid. We always played with the turles that came out after the rains on the dirt road behind our house. I almost died from it!~Ames
Always got excited to see or find a turtle when we were kids. Never even a sniffle from handling them, even now as an adult. Last year I stopped on a 4 lane road to rescue one crossing the street. Just helped it over to the side and into the pond it seemed to be heading for. I think it smiled!
As children, if we found a turtle where we lived in New England, our mother would write the date in magic marker on the bottom of their shells in case we were lucky enough to find it again!
This is so cute! I've had to pull over on the road to pass by turtles, but have never seen one so tiny! I'll have to keep my eyes open on my walks in the spring.
When I was a child I always had a turtle - they had a very high mortality rate.....
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute. It reminds on the rhyme about the little turtle that lived in a box.

ReplyDeleteMy children had turtles when they were small. I don't recall what happened to them...the turtles , not the kids...lol...
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend had a snapping turtle for quite a few years until it started trying to "snap" the grandchildren..
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to it...

my kids love to find turtles and for some reason the smaller they are the more fun they are for the kids.
ReplyDeletewhat a little cutie!
