Throw Momma From the Train.

Jaymie from SC writes: "...Chris, I have had this photo for quite some time, but only recently was able to convert it to digital format. And by convert, I mean 'take a picture of the hard copy.' This is from a vacation, where my sisters and I all bought our own turtle. Then, we all took pictures of us holding our turtles next to our faces. But something seemed to be missing from my photo. The craziest thing was, when the picture got developed, we didn't even remember this happening at all! But nonetheless, here is hard proof (or digital, I should say). Yes, Tots did survive the fall. No, he is not still with us today. -Jaymie B., 17teen, South Carolina." Check the TURTLE ARCHIVE here.

Beast Master.

Sara from MINNEAPOLIS writes: "...Dear Chris, I found this guy at a Renaissance Festival. It's his job to follow a tortoise around all day. This is what I want to be when I grow up [ the guy, not the tortoise]. -Sara, 15, Minneapolis"

Everybody Loves the Deformed

Rachel 30teen in CALIFORNIA writes: "This was a story in my local paper... Lucky, a box turtle from Petaluma, CA, hangs out with his girlfriend Lovey on Friday, August 21. Lucky uses furniture sliders under his shell after his front legs were bitten off by a raccoon."

A Girl Named Bruce.

Chrissie from DC writes: "Hey Chris!! <3<3<3 Attached are 5 pictures of my Russian Tortoise Bruce. Bruce is actually a girl tortoise but I really wanted the name Bruce. Bruce really likes to listen to music. She bops her head up and down when I play music- especially Jason Mraz. For April Fool's Day, my friends abducted Bruce and left a note saying that she had run away and moved to Hollywood. It took 30 minutes until I found her in a shoe-box in the hallway of my dorm. THANKS!!! Chrissie, 19, Washington D.C."

Oh. The Humanity.

Felicity from WEST VIRGINIA writes: "...Here's a picture of my dog Dre.  I caught him outside rolling around on his back.  When he finally stopped I saw what he had been rolling on.  He caught a turtle, ate it, and then did a little "victory dance" on top of it!!  This is a pic of him sitting next to the only thing left of the poor turtle."

Name That Turtle

You may remember Kimbrey asked the CWC community to suggest names for her new turtle. Close to 200 people made suggestions. She's made her decision.
