Arnold, the Turtle.

Posted on February 15th, 2009 in Uncategorized by lizzie3



On Saturday the fourteenth of February, more comilaly known as Valentines Day, I woke up to remember that today I was going to get a red eared turtle!

After breakfast Dad and I went down to our local pet shop, where we went to buy a lamp for it to bask on. However we got there just to realise that we hadn’t got measurements of the tank. So we had to go back home and measure the tank. After this we went back to the pet shop and bought a lamp one hundred and fourty dollars! Dad also wanted to check out the petshop in Hamilton. When we got there we found that everything was so expensive! so we left that shop and drove all the way home (which took half an hour!) We got home to set up the tank and after this we lounged around for a bit and left for the petshop about an hour later. Mum had just arrived at the petshop as it was about to close but the owners let us get the turtle anyway. I chose a very small and cute turtle and I named him Arnold!

    Hi Lizzie!
    How are you? How’s school? Are you enjoying being a Year 8? Well Sacred Heart is really cool! It’s not as bad as people say it is. Really. I thought I’d tell you that I really recommend it, because you did ask me last year, to tell you what it was like, so yeah. It’s really cool!
    If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me. You can either email me or leave a comment on my new blog for my media class at Sacred Heart.
