Turtle was in need of surgery. You see, I had loved on his leg a bit much.
Actually, Turtle has been in need of surgery for a couple of months. Myrtle, though, has been tired. So, Turtle has been living on top of the bookcase in the living room, where he could keep on eye on things for me. Or at least that's what my puppy momma said that Turtle was doing.
As a reward for thrice now letting Myrtle know I needed to go outside for some major business, Myrtle told me that she would tend to Turtle. However, what she didn't tell me was that she was going to give him an all important addition to his innards, since I had so helpfully provided an opening.
Yep! You guessed it! Myrtle loves me so very much that she added a squeaker to Turtle's belly! A while back Myrtle bought an entire bag of squeakers when she was looking for a replacement squeaker for one of my babies. A whole bag of love waiting to enter my life!
Boy, does love abounds in this home. I love Myrtle. Myrtle loves me. And I love, love, love Hippo, Flower, Froggy, Bumble Bee, Duckie, Lady Bug, and now Turtle!
For the past 75 minutes, I have been frolicking with Turtle, happily squeezing his belly. Myrtle was amazed I kept going for so long. But I just couldn't help myself. I am so very happy to have Turtle back in my life. And I am really, really, really happy that he's got a squeaker. Remember, a fellow simply cannot have enough babies in his life...especially ones that have squeakers!
As you can see, I am sort of tuckered out. However, I really couldn't leave Turtle all alone after being alone up on that bookshelf for so long. If you look closely, you will see Turtle peaking out from beneath me. I figured that he would like to join me for my nap. I'm rather thoughtful that way!
This is my life with Myrtle. Amos Adams signing off!
That's nothing. A LOT of people have squeakers in their bellies! ;-)
