Fri 4/4/2008 8:27a | I am very sad. My much beloved turtle{Fast Eddie samonella} has passed away last night.
I buried him in the woods behind my house. he was buried with his hackie sack which he liked to rest his chin on. I also put in the photos of other turtles that were taped to the side of his house.He always seemed to like looking at them.
Please do not send flowers. |

Sorry for your loss?
Does one bury a turtle on it's back or would that lead to an eternal afterlife of frustration?
Really though, the loss of a pet...any pet...can be difficult. |

Interestingly, they say the reason flowers are not never sent to turtle funerals is because those are for the buffet at the reception afterward. |

ohh I like those little chocolate jimmys on my brownines too. But, what kind of wine do you have with your desert tortoises?
You might like a little glass of Robert Mondavi Muscato (spell?) |
