Virginia Johnson Turtle Rug and Other Turtle Home Decor

I grew up on 13 acres of woodland with a brook that ran through our property. Although the location offered us privacy from neighbors, we did encounter plenty of other creatures on the land, including deer, raccoons, possums, owls, and my favorite: turtles! I often saw turtles meandering across our mile-long driveway and always stopped to say hello to the gentle reptiles. I never thought about Read more

Cute Alert: Tiny Tortoise Tries to Eat a Tomato

Say that 10 times fast, and then you might begin to understand this little guy's plight. He begins his Sisyphean journey to take a bite out of a cherry tomato, but as soon as he gets to it, it slips from under his little beaklike maw. Finally, a human comes in and holds it still so he can get a little bite. This is dramatic stuff, people — in a toitie's world, anyway. Read more

Animal Phone

This is one of the most ridiculous masterpieces I've seen on the net. But I wouldn't mind toting around a guinea pig phone for a change; I'd take a call from a furball any day. Although Verizon's "Can you tickle me now?" campaign would get old real fast. . . Read more

Turtle Trained to Perform Dog Tricks

This Florida psychologist spent ten years training a turtle to perform dog tricks. The turtle can sit, shake, and roll over on command. It's a beautiful thing. The turtle also helps the doc with his patients, which makes me wonder if he's rewarded with his fair share of the revenue. One of these days, I'm sure he'll bark up and let us know. No joke.

Two-Headed Turtle Has Lady Troubles

You may have already seen this two-headed turtle. It's been working the talk show circuit and making guest appearances left and right, so to speak. So Letterman got the 411 and somehow this mutant turtle's still cruising solo (minus the extra head) down dating lane. I guess making a move of any kind has been a bit difficult, but don't them "perty" lady turtles realize that two heads equal two Read more

Cute Alert: Baby Turtle!

I love this curmudgeonly little toitie. What other baby animal comes out looking so grumpy and old? You can almost hear him saying, "Harrumph!" And I could picture him smokin' a pipe and reading Tolstoy in his study. Okay, that might be too much. And yet look at his "bustin' out of the shell" photo below. He's all, "Get the party started, beyotches!!!" Mr. Toitie has so many dimensions to Read more
