Well, it's too late for that!!! I wanted to bring it back outside when we caught it, but my sister was already so attached to it! So now I'm going to try my best to keep it alive as long as possible. And it's not like we were looking to find a pet frog--why would we have done any research on it without having the consideration of getting a frog? Also, what's the fun in wasting money to buy one when you can catch one for free?
Anyways, this new pet of ours is just going to be another small adventure in our lives, so whether it goes good or bad, it doesn't really matter. It's just nice having Turtle around! (we kept calling him Turtle accidentally, so we named him Turtle!)
