Turtle makes a friend :)

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 

So I guess her name is Turtle....I tried so hard to convince the boys to name her Lickity but they HAD to have Turtle, apparently Turtle is Judy Bloom's dog (I think thats what they said) and she has another animal named Dribble and we named our hamster Dribble so I guess we're sticking with the Jusy Bloom theme....haha.

 

So Turtle met a new friend this morning, SORRY for the blurry pics, my camera sucks now, used to be so good but it's 6 yrs old now and just isn't the same, anyways they're still cute!

Aww, she's too adorable!! so squishable!

 

As for the name.. I actually remember the story about Turtle the dog written by Judy Bloom.. "Super Fudge" I think it was called?

 

Fudge, a little boy, ate his older brother's, Peter's, pet turtle. Naturally, the turtle did not survive and Peter was really upset.. so his parents surprised Peter with a dog.. and Peter called him Turtle.

Now that you've given me a recap I vaguely remember Corbin reading this book to me last year for school....he had to read every night for 20 mins and I remember Fudge eating the turtle, haha.

I found it

 

Quote:

The final chapter is devoted to Fudge somehow swallowing Peter's beloved pet turtle, Dribble, whole. Peter has difficulty accepting the loss of his turtle (which died after Fudge ate it), but later shows he cares for and loves his brother when he learns that Fudge may need surgery to remove the turtle from his stomach. All turns out well. Medicine that Fudge had been given (to vomit up Dribble's remains) works, and he makes a quick recovery. At the end of the book, Peter gets a pet dog, which he names Turtle to remind him of his first pet.

 

It's Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Kailie, she's just starting to show her character, she just started playing within the last few days, it's so great to watch her, she is turning everything into a toy and I love it! 

 

Yup, there's 2 Turtle's now, haha did you get your Turtle's name from Judy Bloom as well?

It is amazing the difference in this little girl. In the very first picture you had posted of her when she was still at the farm, she almost looked like she was begging for somebody to please save her. She just seemed so scared. And now? She's blooming, there's just no other word for it. She's a beautiful little girl and now she has such a good life. She'll be a gorgeous adult kitty, too. Thank you, just thank you. I got a little teary-eyed looking at those pictures. She just looks so darn happy now. hugs.gif

 

I remember my son reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing when he was little.

  Absolutely love her, she is adorable! Have to say my favorite pictures are the mirror pics. That was her first introduction to her 2 dimensional twinlove.gif? I actually did a photo shoot with Maia the first time I introduced her to a mirror and it was unforgettable! Some of my favorite pictures of her, and this is when I realized I had a very smart kitten on my hands! She figured it out in minutes,thank god I had the camera ready I would have missed it!

Here a a couple of the pictures I caught......

Awwww you guys grphug.gif  Thanks so much!  She definately is blooming, she follws me around everywhere now and I love it!  She did something yesterday though that broke my heart....she started sucking on me, she fell asleep in my arms and thenshe started kneading and then she started sucking on my sweater. Poor baby. Kaymen used to do this as well and even though she's now 9.5 she still will if she's in the right mood. 

 

And yes, this was her first time seeing her twin in the mirror laughing02.gif  We got a new bed and there's a mirror in the headboard so the cats can sit on my bed and look at themselves. Ollie is totally OBSESSED, he likes to sit there and look at himself for hrs, haha!
