Sweet Waldo...

Most of you know that we have four dogs, but only those who really know us would know that we had a turtle. We got Waldo ten years ago when he was 24 years old. He was in the wild when he was first found with a cracked shell, and shortly after that we adopted him. We took him to the vet to fix his shell, made a 4' x 4' box for him, and found a suitable pie pan for him water. He loved to lay on our chests over our hearts, and he loved wandering around the house. In fact we named him Waldo because when he was out of his box he would find various places to hide in the house. Hence the idea of "where's Waldo" happened a few times throughout the past few years. Lately he has been moving rather slowly, and then today after school we found him in his box. Our dear little Waldo has passed on. We would like to thank him for the years of joy and happiness he has brought to our family, and let him know that we will miss him dearly. Rest peacefully little guy, and we will see you again someday.
