Farewell to a Family Member

We lost one of our family members this week. To some pets are not members of the family, but at our house our pets have been our family becuase we don't have any kids. The turtle that died was named Rex and he was a Russian tortoise that we have had for little over two years. We noticed about a month ago that something was not right with him so we got a different kind of food and he started acting a little better. Then one night when was going to bed I turned off the heat lap for the night and normally he would flinch when I turned off the light but this night he didn't move so I touched him and he still didn't move so I got Brandon out of bed and he checked him out and sure enough he had died... We buried him in the back yard with our puppy. Soon it will be a regular old cemetary back there. Bye Rex-ington we will miss you!
