Happy 2nd BLOGanniversary To Underneath The Shell

Hello Mommy’s friends

It’s me…Kroten.

This is my first post here.

We are so excited to have such wonderful friends.

I am here to thank you ALL for helping mommy got through her worst day when she lost our dear sister, Kame.

Thank you for being such good friends to her :hug:

Funny thing is, Mommy remembers our BLOGanniversary but she couldn’t remember her own BLOGanniversary…I guess that proves we are so special to her

Do see us in our blog is you have extra time

Happy 4th Gotcha Day Kroten

Today, 4 years ago, she looked at me and I fell in love with her. She taught me that turtles have different personalities. My dear Kroten taught me to love something unconditionally.

Dear Kroten,
Thank you for looking at me right in the eyes four years ago
You have made me fell in love with you

But…Dear Kroten,
You were so distant back there
Sorry for not loving you enough

Dear Kroten,
I have learned to love you despite of your distrust
After all you are who you are

Dear Kroten,
Thank you for finally trusting me
Thank you for loving me in your own way

Dear Kroten,
You have been with me for four years now
Please stay for many years to come
Never leave me so suddenly!!
Promise me!!

Good Bye Kame…We Will Miss You With All Our Heart

Life can sometimes be unfair…but all living things must eventually died.

For years I couldn’t bear the thought of losing my loved ones…but I kept losing one after another in such close period. First my mom, now my baby turtle, Kame, that I love so very much…even more than Kroten. I wished I know what had happened but there was no clear signs.

Today, I found my sweet sweet Kamechan lying unmoving on the bottom of her tank. As always, I came to their tank the minute I arrived at home.I found Kroten welcoming me but Kame still laid in the tank. I took both out and Kame was not moving at all.

I couldn’t contain my tears…why? why? I asked everyone and no one seemed to have  the answer.

I love her too much like my own child. Ow God, why did you take her away from me so soon? She was supposed to live for 30 years.

She wasn’t as cheerful as her usual  self ever since we moved to our new house…but she still ate a lot. So…what went wrong?

I just hope whatever the cause was will not affect my other turtle, Kroten. I can’t bear losing them both.

All that is left now is to let her go with open heart. Thank you my sweet Kamechan for this wonderful and unforgettable 5 year.You have been the light of my life.

I will remember you and  love you….always!!!!! I hug you for the last time and will never see your adorable face again starting tomorrow.

A Poem for Kame – Happy Gotcha Day

Dear Kame…
They told me turtles are creepy
They told me turtles have no emotion
They told me turtles are lousy pets

Dear Kame…
If I had listened to them, I wouldn’t know how beautiful turtles are
If I had listened to them, I wouldn’t know how caring turtles can be
If I had listened to them, I wouldn’t know how amazing pet turtles can be

Dear Kame
They told me I am weird
They told me I am crazy
They told me I am silly

Announcing Our 1st Bloganniversary

Hi…

This is my first time writing in mommy’s blog. I am bit nervous here.

My name is Kame, I am Novroz’ pet-turtle. The picture on the right is my younger sister, Kroten.

We made a deal with mommy, we wrote in her blog while she wrote in our blog

We are here to tell you  that our blog is having our first blog-anniversary.

When mommy decided to make our blog,she had  prepared herself to be called Crazy as  no one would believe that turtles can actually type We are glad that she made the blog despite all the look people were giving her.

Mommy loves us so much, every time you visit this blog you see us. The silhouette of her blog background is me and  the header is Kroten. She used my picture for her Teaser Tuesday post and will soon use Kroten’s picture for her Monday book meme, It’s Monday What are you reading.

Now let’s talk about our blog. After a year, we have so many furry friends. as well as some human friends. We are still looking for another reptile blogger, we hope we can find one that as active as we are (or as active as our furry friends).

Happy 3rd Birthday My Sweet Kroten-Chan

Today is my sweet Kroten’s birthday…well, it is not actually her birthday, it’s more like her arrival day…but i consider it as the day she was being ‘born’ inside my heart.

To know her full story when we met, please go to her blog Kame & Kroten’s Blog, she wrote her story as her birthday post.

It didn’t matter how many turtles she was looking at because what matter was which one was looking  back at her. (excerpt from her post)

To continue the tradition I have done since last year with Kame’s birthday, I am going to share you my top-5 pictures of Kroten that I like so much.
