Yertle the Turtle

Meet Yertle. 

He was a good pet, for a day. See, we have a rule around here and that is that any "pet" we find, we only keep for one day and then we set them free again. 

I really enjoyed Yertle. John and Kathryn saw him trying to cross the street on Saturday during the huge crazy storm, so they snatched him up. Yertle was a BIG hit at the birthday party!! Quite entertaining. All the kids loved him. 

Yertle braved the stormy night with us and then posed for a few photos before we bid him farewell. 

The kids did not shed any tears. I guess he just wasn't fluffy enough for their tastes.
