Little Joey

Some neighbors found this little turtle walking through their ball game and thought of Kenzie, bringing it to live with us. We have had a turtle once before after finding him wandering up our drive...but we soon returned him to a nearby creek.

This guy has been named Little Joey, or Baby Joey by the neighborhood kids and is currently living in a little turtle habitat we set up. He seems happy, is eating well, and as long as the kids follow the directions of "NO TOUCHING" we'll keep him for a few days, before sending him on his way in the same creek. Rylan gets really excited watching him - pointing and SQUEALING - and dancing around his home.

Kenzie's taken it upon herself to teach him ALL about turtles, and he's thoroughly enjoying the lesson, it appears.
