We Seriously Have Pets?!

Yes we do. As of this afternoon in fact. And this is a huge deal because Laura does not like pets one bit!!

So the story begins with this house we bought this afternoon. It comes with all the "furniture" in it. There's lots of little gadgets in there too that we're not sure if we get or not. When we first went to look at the house on Thursday last week there were two turtles (YES TURTLES!!!) in the sink with not very much water and they looked mighty hungry. So we fed them some pellets that were beside the sink. (Not sure if we were allowed to, but you shouldn't be allowed to leave turtles in the sink!).

For the long weekend, we went to Fernie and Leif started researching turtles. He really wanted a pet, but Laura wasn't too keen on it. But, little did Leif know, turtles are Laura's favourite and that's one of the only pets she would have!

Then we went to do our own home inspection on Tuesday and the poor dears were still in the sink!!! And the water level had gone down. AND they looked even hungrier! So we added some water from another big contraption beside the sink and gave them some more food. We asked Royal to ask the other realtor if we could have the turtles with the house, and if so, we wanted to take them home as soon as possible because we didn't like that they were in a sink.

Royal called this afternoon and the other realtor called the owner and that's how we got turtles! We have no idea how to care for them or anything. We're thinking we should take them to a vet as soon as possible to get them checked out. We have a bag full of turtle stuff that was in the dirty tank with a crack in it that we also inherited. We don't really know what some of the stuff is.

We hope to keep these turtles alive and happy somehow, so that means we need to name them! Want to help anyone? We'd like their names to match.
