Welcome, Myrtle!

We're getting a turtle. It's actually a tortoise, but then we would have to rename her "Mortoise". So she'll be a turtle, at least around here. We're inheriting her from the same family that welcomed us into the Orthodox church. You can see a picture here. Apparently she's quite the schmooser...

What I find odd about owning a turtle is the whole food thing. I'll be raising, and feeding, crickets for this pet. These crickets will get extra calcium in their water, because Myrtle has "shell issues". Poor things. Talk about getting someone's hopes up. "Boy, my exoskeleton feels great these days!" CRUNCH.
