So, I have two pets! One minature tan and chocolate dachshund puppy who is named Frappuccino. Haha, a very girly name for a boy puppy, but he was so cute and it was the first thought I got from him. We rescued him from a puppy store (it really is rescueing considering they don't get walks or even a floor to play on!) and have been happy with him since. He's about a year old now, fully potty trained (thank you!) and super cute.
We also recently got a baby red eared slider turtle. His name is Rollo (sticking with the chocolate names!) and is doing very well. He has his own 50 gallon tank, water filter, water heater, two floating islands, heat lamp, UVB lamp, shrimp! And now we are considering some live food! When we first got him, though, he also had a brother. Unfortunate, Metro didn't make it. We got them from a friend who had had them in a tiny traveling/holding tank for about a week and only God knows how long the pet shop guy had them! Well, they both were very sick and slept for days on end. In fact, they only woke up if we picked them up and moved them. Baby turtles are not suppose to hibernate so long. We tried everything to make them better. But as things happen, Metro didn't make it. But now our other baby is doing so much better! He swims and plays in the water filter current and has been eating a little bit more each day! And now we, my boyfriend and I, are enjoying the company of our healthy little pets and each other more and more everyday...
