And I'm not really sure why. Apart from having whatever it was that Michelle had, most likely caused by the poor conditions they're kept and sold in, and despite our best efforts, he just stopped moving this afternoon. This is after we bought him (and Michelle too, so we thought at the time) a larger tank with a floating dock and a UVA/ UVB lamp.
He had perked up since we got the lamp, and was looking a lot better. But then bam, stopped eating, became lethargic again and, sadly, kicked it. Maybe we're just THAT bad at looking after turtles - I tried Brenda, honestly, but maube turtles just aren't for me? Anna's a bit upset that her birthday presents to me have died. I'm upset that we went on the bus for five hours to spend nearly a whole day traipsing around the market looking for the most expensive lamp gadgetry one can buy this side of the Pacific.
Apparently Sarah Palin might be running... I hope our poor turtles aren't a sign of things to come.
