New Friend

We have a new friend! We have not seen Mr. Turtle in months, but today we meet a new turtle! Little Turtle is much smaller than Mr. Turtle, but he told us many wonderful tails about life outside out screened in porch. Unfortunately, Little Turtle has not seen Mr. Turtle, so we hope he's healthy.

This weekend I spent some beyond the screen! I was out front with Mandy and Sam. I was watching Sam dig in the dirt, when Mandy came in and put me in harness. I protested loudly at first, but when Mandy took me outside and let me wander into the bushes I was thrilled! I explored bushes and plants I’ve never been allowed to before! I was even brave enough to venture into the center of the drive way. It was a little unsettling to be out front, so eventually I dragged Mandy to the big tub area and she let me back into safety. As soon as I was out of harness I ran into the house and Mandy followed me by climbing through the window! I guess the doors were locked. She went back out front quickly though and started cutting bushes. She chopped the bushes until they were small! Eventually Sam and Mandy came inside and drank a lot of water.

There are many open windows this morning, and I don’t want to miss any time outside, so I’m going to go see if I can figure out where Little Turtle went.
