Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 2:53 pm **Going to get Dog's brother**

I've made up my mind. He's been sitting in the pet store since I got Dog in October of last year and he looks like crap. Shell is pyramiding, skinny as anything and eating mealworms. I'm going to try to talk them down on the price but he's coming home with me tonight. Wish me luck!

I hope everything goes well. I know it's probably been hard on you to see him in that condition all this time. Good luck!

Good luck!! Sending out positive thoughts!

Good luck! Is it another RES?

Edit...I guess it would help if I read the sig. I can't keep your turts straight, lol.

Did you get him? Box turtles seem interesting.

Yep, got him last night. He's still nameless so if anyone has any suggestions I'm open to them. He ate an earthworm this morn and at last check was sitting under the uvb lamp (dont think he had one at the store).

Congratulations!!! I'm sure he's loving his new home already!

If he's Dog's brother, do you want to stay with a Canine theme (for the name)?

Well Pandora and Rocks are Aerosmith related and Dog is named after Duane 'Dog' Chapman (the bounty hunter) so all the names kindof mean something. That's what's making it difficult. I dont want to just pick a name out of thin air yknow?

I understand.

...Names are important...I feel bad for my turtle since I named him when I was kid....I'm embarassed to tell people his name since I'm 26 now with a turtle named "Puddles"....It made sense when I was 7....When I took him out of his tank, he was wet, and left puddles everywhere.....

And AWESOME on the Aerosmith theme btw!! (I have everyone of their studio albums, and a couple compilations, and have seen them in concert almost every summer since I was 14).

Did you convince them to let you have him at a lower price?

Posted: Wed May 03, 2006 11:07 am

no but they gave me a lot of free and discounted stuff for him. There were 3 other people willing to pay full price for him and they didnt seem to believe me when i told them he looked ill.

Ok, his name is now officially Poe. :-)

I'll post pics this afternoon.

You should have called him Tim if you wanted to stick with that theme.
