The Scandal of Free Turtles
My son has/had a couple of turtles. Red-eared sliders who thankfully resided at my dear Aunt's place in town. In her spoiling of my children, somehow turtles were purchased and nurtured. We saw these turtles every week and they were very well taken care of. Then my beloved Aunt decides to move to Arizona.

But as the inevitable transition approached we balked and my Aunt set out to find a new home for Fred and Percy. This brings us to our scandalous story.
