Our New Pets

Mike and I have been wanting to get Caden and Livvy a pet for a long time now but we didn't know what to get them because we can't have animals in our apartment. So the other day we were at a flea market and found these little tiny turtles. The were so cute. They are about the size of an oreo cookie. So we decided to get one for Caden and another for Olivia. We found an old fish tank and bought some turtle food and put them in their new home and they seemed very happy. So the next day we were in Idaho Falls and decided to stop at petco and make sure we were doing everything right. Anyway, come to find out we needed to spend around $300 in equipment to give them everything they need. We didn't know what to do we only paid $20 for both the stupid turtles. And on top of everything else the man told us turtles that small are illeagal in the United States! In the end we bought a new tank and some other things but only spent $100 Hopefully they don't die!

Those are the cutest turtles ever. I remember when Mike had one growing up. I bet Caden loves them. Good luck with them.
