I have 2 cats, Chorizo and Olivia. As of last weekend I've also adopted a third... a stray kitten that my son found hiding in the wheel well of a parked car. The new kitten's name is Shadow. All three are female.
I also have four baby turtles: two red-eared sliders, a map turtle, and a yellow-bellied river cooter.
The turtles don't have names. We raise them in a 55-gallon aquarium, and when they get big enough we release them in the lake and buy new ones. Newborn turtles are so cute! They are smaller than a quarter, and they have an "egg tooth", which is a sort of horn on the end of their nose, like a rhinoceros. They use it to break their way out of the egg. This egg tooth falls off when turtles are about a week old, so we try to select ones that still have it... newborn adoption, so to speak .
