I think my turtle is no more. I took a look at him again and he appeared bloated and stiff. This is a sad sad day for me. Natasha,

I didn't think we'd have another dog after ours died several years ago but we did, and they've been wonderful caring friends. i really should read earlier posts before posting my comments. *am truly sorry about Turtle*
