Rest in peace Rex the Turtle, 10/6/05-4/9/06.
Now sure what happened to little Rex, but we loved him while he was here. Drew got him on his birthday from a sweet older lady at church who found him at her home. He was newly hatched, still had some "yolk sack" on his underside.
Hannah Baby was quite upset at the sight of him, so we have decided to hold a proper burial for him this afternoon.
He was a strong little guy, he even survived being turtle-napped by our cat Patches...he was found hours later unharmed (but covered with cat hair) under a piece of furniture.
We live less than a half of a mile from the river so we find lots of turtles in our yard but Rex was special because he was so incredibly tiny....I will try to post the only picture we have of him....posing beside a quarter.
