Last Christmas the girls were so excited to get their little leopard gecko's from Santa.
Sassy really had a special little love for Laney.
As our first "real" pets other than fish, Santa told us that gecko's are very low maintenance and easy to keep alive. So even Josh and I were excited. They really were cute.
About 2 months ago, Laney's lizard dropped it's tail, and it was all downhill from there. Both gecko's were lethargic and wouldn't eat a thing for the last month. So we decided to give them up to a shelter that would nurse them back to health and then find good owners for them.
We saw and heard many many tears this last weekend.
Josh and I felt bad for the girls and for their gecko's.
What we weren't planning on was meeting some teeny tiny turtles at the shelter that need a new home! Kadie tried to talk me into a snake, but with all of the fiasco's with crickets this last year, I could only imagine mice and gold fish being worse. So we agreed on turtles.
Meet Freckles and Cuddle!
Now the girls are smiling again!
Let's hope that these little things stay healthy.

those are tiny!! you are like my mom, every time she took a cat to the vet\shelter she came home with another one. Make sure they wash their hands, those little guys are germy, but how cute. my girls would LOVE a turtle. :) maybe they can have a nice bath together, or hang out in the pool

I loved having a turtle all growing up! Best animal ever! However, when it ran away I cried for a long time! (Really it ran away) They are faster than you may think! I loved reading this post and so glad the girls are happy again!
Way cute! It almost makes me want one.
