Tuck the Turtle

We had our first pet turtle this week. Daddy found a tiny little turtle in our pond and brought him in. I was instantly smitten and Hannah named him Tuck. I set up a temporary sanctuary for him and for two days he lived in the bay window of our kitchen.

But, alas, after some investigation he was found to be a snapping turtle. So Daddy took him back out to the pond where he will live out his days in mucky happiness.

Look how tiny and cute he is! I am positive that other area wildlife will make their way into our home, but for now two days is quite enough.
