Van Gogh the Fifth Ninja Turtle (written by Jack)


This is my pet turtle “Van Gogh the Fifth Ninja Turtle”. Do you get it? Sometimes people don’t. Van Gogh is a red-earred slider turtle. They originated in Texas but after being kept as pets they spread all over America. Van Gogh is just a baby so he is very small. In a few years he will reach full size. The average size turtle can be eight to ten inches. Sometimes they even grow longer than that! My mom was just thrilled when I told her that. Van Gogh loves to eat and by eat I mean anything! And by anything I mean anything except vegetables! I try to feed him vegetables but he doesn’t eat them. What he does eat is shrimp (sun dried shrimp from a can), any type of seafood, chicken, hamburger meat (I cut off a tiny pieces), and one time a piece of steak. Well I don’t want to bore you. Please enjoy your feature presentation.

Jack, I enjoyed your guest appearance on the blog.

Cool turtle and great videos. What were you feeding him? Rice Krispies?

I can see you writing a whole series about the little guy. Perhaps a comic strip?

Write more, please :)

van gogh is the best. I am thinking of getting a turtle too. In keeping with your theme I'll have to call him Caravaggio.
