If Pets Could Talk

Have you ever wondered what your pet would say if he or she could talk? Just for some fun today, here are some funny pictures of more of our family’s pets. Look at these pictures and see what you think they might be saying. 😉 I’ll give you a suggestion for each picture.

“Is it time to mow the grass again, Dad?”

“Turn right at the next street and then turn into Starbucks…I need a pup cup!”

“We aren’t crowding you, are we?”

“Can I have the keys please?”

“The name’s Bond…James Bond.”

“Need any help with your computer work, Mom? Or with your snacks?”

“Time to exercise! Now where are the weights?”

“Hi there! Do you wanna play with me?? Pretty pleeeeeeeeease??”

“Could you turn the lights down? We’re trying to sleep here.”

“Did you bring me crickets? No?? OFF WITH HIS HEAD!”

“You go ahead and clean the bathroom, Mom. I won’t let these rugs get away.”

“Is this Grand Central Station? Could you take your party somewhere else? It’s my naptime.”

“Birdseed??! I thought it sounded like the dog food bag.”

“How do you like my hat? I’m looking pretty handsome, wouldn’t you say?”

Haha! I’d love to hear your comments! I hope these made you smile! 🙂

Who is Hiding in Our Garage?

We found a surprise visitor hanging out in our garage yesterday! It was not a person. I will give you a few hints and see if you can guess what it is. It’s an animal…it has 4 legs and a tail…it’s dark green and it doesn’t make much noise but it did hiss at us when my husband, Grandpa Rick, picked it up. They move very slowly…can you guess what it is? Do you need another clue? It carries its house with it. Now I’m sure you guessed it right! Look at the picture below to see who surprised us…

A turtle!! Did you guess a turtle? It pulled it’s head and legs inside it’s shell. We think it’s a painted turtle but I actually don’t know much about turtles. The biggest mystery is how did it get inside our garage? Hmm…the garage doors are usually closed unless we need to bring the tractor out. Maybe it snuck in when Grandpa Rick mowed the grass.

Since it couldn’t survive if it stayed inside our garage, Grandpa Rick picked it up using his heavy gloves. Turtles can carry a germ called salmonella so we need to be careful about washing our hands after touching them. Also, we didn’t know if the turtle might try to bite him, so it seemed the best idea to wear gloves while moving it. We found a nice spot of grass away from where it might get stepped on or run over and set it down.

I think it was glad to be back in the grass instead of on the hard cement, but it was still rather scared of us. We must look pretty big to it! It tried to hide down inside the grass but you can still see most of it. Notice it’s one back foot and its cute little tail!

We went away and left it alone so it could move onto it’s next destination. This morning it was gone. So long, turtle friend! It was nice to meet you! We hope you have a good and happy life free in nature! 🙂

A Surprise Green Visitor!

Today I was walking across the yard with our dog, Rusty, when he stopped suddenly and started sniffing something. Then he jerked back and growled a little. When I got closer to where he was, I was surprised to see that we had an unexpected visitor in our yard! Can you guess what it was?

He carries his house with him wherever he goes. He’s dark green on the outside…has 4 legs and a tail. He’s hiding but I bet you can tell what he is by looking at his house. It’s a…..

TURTLE!! I bet you guessed that right, didn’t you? Let’s take a little closer peek at him…

Well, hello, Mr. Turtle! (Or maybe it’s Mrs.?) In this next picture you can see what size he was compared to the size of my foot.

Peek-a-boo! 😉

As long as we were close to him, he stayed all tucked safely inside his shell. But when we walked away he moved on across the yard. It brought some excitement to our day! Thanks for visiting us, Mr. Turtle! 🙂
