Sorry I haven’t visited…work sucks…I will try and visit all of my subscriptions soon…for now I write a short blog…well I’ll try and make it short…You remember my mom with the turtle a few blogs back…well…Friday I realize that the turtles haven’t been playing much…please bear with me…I am sad…of course…but laughing also helps to see you through your pain…so anyway I say to me…lets take them out…and Peppermint is always my most active unafraid having lived with us alone for so many years…so I place him down and pick up Stix who is floating on her back (very odd) maybe enjoying the whirlpool effect of the filter…who is to say…I notice she doesn’t hide her head when I pick her up as is her usual response (strange but I am a slow learner)…I place her down on the floor “facing Peppermint”…he doesn’t move…he keeps shoving his head in further and further and is looking pretty scared and I think your finally out…go play…or maybe he is ill…is he dieing???? He hasn’t been eating or playing…maybe he is going blind…he hasn’t opened his eyes come to think of it in several days…Stix is still head out…I leave…I return…Peppermint is still acting like Ground Hog Day and Stix has her head out…I put them in and notice Stix immediately floats again…weird turtle…okay…give me a break…Peppermint remains head in and eyes shut tight…next day I go over to see if he is blind…I pick him up and he has that second lid thing going and I pick her up…Dear Me…she is very stiff…her head is still out…oh Sister Silky do you think she is SHIT I THINK SHE IS DEAD…the poor dear…and I have him living with the corpse of his wife for days….it’s like a review of Psycho in there…eww…I place her on the rock under the light hoping she’ll warm up…yeah right…he climbs up on her and actually sticks his head out and is kissing her…I kid you not…we all start sobbing…she’s DEAD…my mother is running in circles doing her best dramatic show of the rap song “WASN’T ME” and Tere’ is unaware of any of the episode that occured with my mom and she still is thinx it’s natural causes that took Stix…after some time…I try praying…giving a healing…petting…talking…yep…she’s gone….we bury her and give her flowers and are sad…Peppermint immediately opens his eyes…eats and plays…however…at night he peaks up on the rock (boohoo tears hear) and looks for his love…he sleeps in her spot under the rock (of course the chubby guy got stuck last night and I had to get him out) but the guy is in mourning…I ordered a new wife for him…it will never replace Stix but it will be company and I am sure we will learn to love her too…when she comes her name will be Patti…in loving memory of our dear little girl turtle Stix:

Sorry but I had to laugh at your sentence structure. work sucks…I will soon…
Look for an email RYC about diet.
Oops, you don’t have an email address listed. Never mind.
I’m so sorry hon. I truly pray that her passing was “natural.” God knows you guys don’t need any extra stress around there. Hugs to you and Tere, and even mom.
Peace
You are still facing many challenges in your life.
It was very touching to see what I saw that day..I wouldnt have believed had I not seen peppermint…But you did all you could have and now pepper is bouncing back , I know he misses her very much ,he will soon have a friend again. I still peer into the cave to see sticks and remember she isnt there;( Miss you much today! See you later {{{}}}Silky
PS…Yes laughter is very good even though we miss her.
Awww…Pepperment/Patti…I think they’ll be just fine. *smile* Whatever the cause of her death, it was merely Stix’s time to go. She had a good life with you, and I know you know that. It’s all we can do for our pets…
Huggz all around…Poor Pepper…
I love you…GFW
Sending a little prayer for her Spirit…

Haven’t been around in a while… Sorry to hear of your loss. Pets, even turtles, can get to be family. We had one too. When we did the big move from ny to Indiana, we had to let him go to my sister. I felt very sad, and the kids cried. They are so neat as pets! And they really do have personalities too!
Blessings, Helena
