And this is how they found me . . .

Although my mommy kept saying she was afraid I was dead, she still took the time to take my picture.  Lucky for me, daddy told mommy he thought she should help me over.  She did, gave me my bath, trimmed my nails, waxed my shell and now I am trolling around the room enjoying my Sunday.

Sleepin' under my food dish

This is how my mommy found me one night this week.  She still can't figure out why I am sleeping under my pool and now, under my food dish.  I guess I'm just a silly girl.  Luve Ursulla

My mommy thinks I'm sassy

That's what she says, that I'm bein' sassy.  The last few days when she and daddy have gotten home, my cage is in a state.  I have been burrowing in all sorts of strange places like under my pool, which makes all the water spill out, under my food dish, which makes all my food fall out and on the side of my little hut, which makes it all crooked and crazy.  Who said little turtles like me don't have to clean up their room?  Luve you always - Ursulla

My Sunday Routine

First:  Mommy gives me my bath.  This time she put me in the bathroom sink and that was lots better.  It's smaller and I don't feel like I am going to get sucked down the drain.  I swam around for a bit and got all clean.

Second:  Mommy waxes my shell.  Mommy thinks that it probably feels really good.  She is tender and rub the wax all over me.

Third:  I get to run around for hours before they but me back in my little room.

Sundays are wonderful for me, hope they are for you too

Bath Time

Sundays are the day that my mommy gets me all clean, waxes my shell and lets me roam around all day.  She tried the bath time again.  This time I was already out of my shell, so she put me in the water.  I didn't really like it.  I kept trying to crawl out, but would just slide back down into the water.  A couple of time my little head went under and I blew little bubbles.  My mommy made sure that I got water all over me, then got me out and waxed my shell.  I just laid there.  I heard mommy say something about she thought she killed me, but I was fine, just like relaxing while I get waxed.  Now I am just cruising around checking things out.  Mommy said that I am the most active she has ever seen me.  Luve u  - Ursulla Jane (my middle name)

These are the seeds that my mommy and daddy bought for me today.  They are going to try and grow these this winter for me.  Yippee, I am a lucky girl - Ursulla
