Aww.. {{{HUGS}}}} It's because you love her. Pets become very much a part of our family, from the teeniest goldfish to the tallest Great Dane. I was devastated when my little snow pea passed away (my little black lab, Sammi). That was November of last year, and not a day goes by where I don't wish I was snuggling with her and giving her little wet kisses. I miss my little bo peep. It's been 3 years since Doc (my other black lab) passed away, and I miss him just as much. I still talk about Bobo & Yockety Doc like they are still very much alive. In my heart, they always will be. (By the way, excuse my 8 million nicknames for my labbies!)

I'm in agreement over turtles loving to explore! My turtle, Julius, "ran" away when I was a little girl. I'll pray Norma (such a cute name ) returns to her loving home with you as soon as possible!

Love,
