Turbie was born at Best Pets on a muggy
afternoon in May.
We Have Turtles!
Just like his three siblings Turbie dreamed of
being adopted some day.
We Have Turtles!
Tuggles was the first to leave for a home on
Spiral Lake.
Torey left soon after and was placed right
next to a birthday cake.
Talee was soon whisked away and Turbie
was the only turtle left in the store.
Now Turbie had high hopes of leaving as his
siblings had done before.
We Have Turtles
Soon arrived little Janny whom was hoping
for a horse.
Her family lived in a townhouse so they
chose a kitten of course.
All day long patrons came in and never
looked Turbie’s way.
Still he never stopped hoping he would find
a family that day.
Sammie Sheldon came rolling in and raced
in Turbie’s direction.
With only a quick glance Sammie knew
Turbie needed his protection.
Sammie’s parents were awfully happy with
the pet that he selected.
When Turbie was placed in his new home
his reaction was unexpected.
Turbie turned and looked to the left and then
to the right.
But he did not take a single step towards the
feeding station for a bite.
With a closer look at his brand new friend,
Sammie could tell exactly what was wrong.
“We will make you better,” he promised.
“You will be mobile like me before long.”
Dad found the perfect set of wheels for the
task they had in store.
Batteries, sprockets and gears were gathered,
but they still needed more.
Two flashlights came in handy, along with a
servo, steampunk goggles and a spring.
Dad knew exactly how to arrange them to
make this baby zing!
Turbie has gained his independence and
moves swiftly to and fro.
There is not a single place in the Sheldon
home that Turbie cannot go!
Hey!
I’m trying to
Study!
