Oh and I think its a painted turtle, although he doesn't have the red stripes on his back/body yet. But they may develop with time.

I went to and returned from the conference in NH. It was fun, and I learned a lot, and had a chance to talk to alot of other shelters. It was good. My car made it all the way there and back without trouble! Wooooot! This girl was volunteering at the shelter today, and I had her take a dog out for a walk. She found a baby turtle on her way back. Its cute, about the size of a quarter. So she brought it back to the shelter, because it was just sitting on the side of the road, and somehow, I now have it. In a few minutes I will be running over to walmart to pick up some supplies for him. I don't know what I will be naming the turtle, or how long I will keep him. He is in a mixing bowl with some water, grass, and a small bowl upside down to provide him something to climb on to get out of the water at the moment. I don't really have any where handy to keep him, but I will make room. I'm torn between keepoing him and letting him go, so I will keep him for now. The we will just see how things go. Ok, I'm gonna go run and get his supplies now, I just had to come online and do a little research about what he eats and all that fun stuff.
