...and Yoda lives on!
I have become the recent joke in the office. Not sure why, I guess they don't get it. I have this pet turtle named Yoda. Yes, I am a Star Wars nerd, but more on that later. Now Yoda has always been cool, he just hangs out, eats and poops, ahhhh, the good life. Well anyways, he turns orange, almost over night. I do not know what to do here. I looked online for "My turtle turned orange" and there were no results that helped me. Then I had to go to New York and when I got back he was even worse, almost red. Angela then called and took him too the vet. The vet said that he is going through puberty. Yes I did say the last sentence correctly. He (btw we did not know it was a boy, good call Angela!) is going through puberty. I typed puberty again, come on Google!! They turn colors to attract the opposite sex. He has none. =( Poor Yoda.
Here is where it gets interesting. I had to tell my boss that, "My turtle turned orange and I am not sure if he is sickly" and "I needed to leave early because I was going to the vet." Well as it adds up, the story is now: I left work early, to go with my wife, while Sawyer hangs out with a babysitter, and take my turtle the vet, and it was only puberty. I was also asked when I was going to give him, "The Talk." And now, for your viewing pleasure, here are some pictures of Yoda. Enjoy.

He's all growed up. A man-turtle now.
