YAY for Thursday!!
My day off consist cleaning, looking at houses to rent, and more cleaning...blah!
I wanted to introduce your ladies to my little baby boy. Do worry, I'm not revealing I have kids. haha
Spike was given to me by L on our 4th anniversary. We had taken a weekend trip to Corpus Christi and went to the Texas State Aquarium. I have always loved turtles and I had been wanting to get one. When we got back from our trip that Sunday, we headed to Petco.
We looked at the huge tank filled with little turtles and I wanted them all. haha
I saw that this turtle was very active, and then eventually would bask under the light. I knew at that point, he was mine. When we brought him home, he probably measured 4-5 inches or so. He moved away with me to College Station and just kept growing.
He loved chasing fish in his tank, trying to escape, and basking under the light. I eventually had to leave him with my parents because he was just getting to big and was already in a 40 gallon tank and was just getting to big. It was always so hard for me to clean that huge tank.
After my parents separation, Spike moved with my sisters boyfriend. His mom had another turtle and didn't mind caring for Spike. I think the last time I measured him he was 9 inches or so. He is a big boy now, and I miss him entertaining me. His water level has to be low, if not he would escape. (He got out of the tank one time at my parents and freaked my mom out in the kitchen) haha
I miss this little guy, and his sister Lexi misses him as well! She would always bark at him when he would splash around in the tank.
Do you have a pet that you miss?
Is your pet not something other than a canine/feline?
