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 youBut…Dear Kroten,
You were so distant back there
Sorry for not loving you enoughDear Kroten,
I have learned to love you despite of your distrust
After all you are who you areDear Kroten,
Thank you for finally trusting me
Thank you for loving me in your own wayDear Kroten,
You have been with me for four years now
Please stay for many years to come
Never leave me so suddenly!!
Promise me!!
You can see her own post to celebrate her 4th Gotcha Day in Kame & Kroten’s Blog (I will soon change the name)
As celebration for Kroten’s 4th Gotcha Day, I looked through all her photos and came up with this top 5 Kroten’s expression over the year (excluding cute expression 😉 )
#5 Being Curious
Kroten saw a dot on the wall and she was looking at in intensely wondering whether it was edible or not. I love seeing her curious face over something edible or not.
#4 Being Shy
From time to time, Kroten still shows her shyness and distrust over human. This photo was one of those times.
#3 Being Melancholy
She does this so often. I couldn’t help thinking that she was thinking about something dilemma-tic.
#2 Being Annoyed
This ‘Don’t take my picture anymore’ expression of hers cracks me every time I see this photo.
#1 Being Innocent
This is what she does best!! Looking as if she doesn’t do anything wrong. I asked her what she was doing on my keyboard and she gave me that ‘I didn’t do anything’ expression.
As you all know, I lost my other turtle last week…It was such a hard time for me. I am grateful nothing happened to Kroten. I love my pets too much. Thank you for staying, Kroten 🙂

Wonderfully touching piece, Novroz.
Thank you, Mike…that’s because she is a wonderful creature 🙂
Those are some nice expressions of Kroten. I like #2!
hehe #2 is indeed really cute, I have been thinking of making a story out of it, maybe one day I will write it 😉
Happy 4th Gotcha Day Kroten!!!!!
My fave photo is the one with your eyes covered not wanting your photo taken!! So cute!!

Thank you Scott 🙂
By the way, it’s 4th Gotcha Day.
Happy 4th Gotcha day Kroten and Novia! This is so adorable 😀
Thank you Cas…she is adorable 😉
I love picture #2 where Kroten hides her face!! So darn cute!! My kitty Ting-Ting does that sometimes too in her sleep and it’s always soooo adorable.
As always…. such a joy to see the “many faces of Kroten”. 😉
I wish Kroten does it in her sleep too…that would be really cool…but she only does it while she is awake.
Thank you Miyuki 🙂
Happy Gothcha Day Kroten!
I hope she is fine and not missing Kame.
These are great photos.

Thank you Uncle D 🙂
I didn’t get lettuce cake but I got delicious blood-worm…very yummy and a rare treat for me.
I know that all of our pets
mean so much to us my friend 🙂

your Kroten has enjoyed eating
all the best things too 🙂 🙂
