A Tub Full of Trouble

When our children were little we always had an assortment of pets. We always had cats and sometimes had turtles. We also had a little dog for a number of years. No home is complete without a purring cat or other favorite pet.

When I cleaned the turtle bowl I would often let the turtles swim in the tub for awhile. One day little two year old Laura decided to add some kittens, toilet paper and more water to the tub of turtles. Thankfully I found the kittens before disaster struck. But one of the kittens had a cast on its leg and did not need any more trauma in its life.

Children and pets are quite an interesting combination. You will never be bored with this mixture. When our son Bill was in the second grade we had so many pets that his whole class came to our house to see our zoo.
