Theo - It's Short For Theoretical

So.

I have a pet turtle.

Yes, many people find that quite strange.  I think I do as well.

His name is Theo - which is short for Theodore (His name was recently changed to Theoretical thought - just an FYI).  I purchased him at a Florida giftshop.  This was probably illegal, but the stores get away with it by using the "educational purposes" card.  I felt bad for the little turtles...probably about 100 of them in a tank that's way too small.  I had a turtle in the past, but let is go into a friend's fish pond when it got very large.  So I had the soft spot, and the little turtles totally made me cave in.

Now he's really hyper.

I'm glad I got him though.  He's an easy pet, adorable, and always listens.  And he jumps off his rock and swims over to me when I get home.  I promise I'm not crazy.

I think that Theo lives a pretty exciting life for a turtle.  He's only been my pet for four months, and he's already experienced all of these exciting things:

- Having a song re-written exclusively for him.  He my baby Theo.
- Video chatting with several different people, and attempted video chats with Aaron Carter and Perez Hilton.  I think that rocks.
- Lived in Florida, Nashville, and Brooklyn.  Made the road trips with me, and even took a crazy trip through Manhattan.  His water was splashing everywhere during this trip.
- Gotten the house to himself for several weeks in a row while I went on vacation.
- His own Facebook page dedicated to him, and a steady flow of incoming tribute photos.

Below are some pictures of my little baby - you know you love him!
