The Release of Timmy the Turtle

One day our friends came to us asking us if we knew where to put this baby turtle they found in a swimming pool. Being the animal people we are we decided to take on this project until it got a little bigger.

We made a little home in the back yard in a 50 gal. buckett. We came up with the name Timmy(???).Timmy would go and sun bathe on the rock we had put on the bottom. HeLoved it!

After about 2-3 months we decieded that Timmy had gotten to big for this little home and he was eating alot more... It was time to let him go. I was excited because every turtle would love to live in a pond instaid of a buckett.

When we let Timmy go it took a few seconds for him to realize he was free but after the realization, timmy took off! Swimming all over the place from one side of the pond to the next.

We waited for about an hour before we left and the whole time Timmy was swimming everywhere. The frogs that lived there before kept coming up to see who lived there now. I guess they were checking the safety.


Now Timmy is in his own free pond and has frogs to worry about.I guess the water wasn't too clean but I know turtles don't care about that.
