I found a turtle with its head stuck under the tank bottom. I rushed to pull it out. I gave it CPR right away. Thank god it pulled through — I was so relieved. It slowly got its strength back. I grabbed some food to feed it. Its neck can stretch super long. Dang, it's so cute. I scrub its shell, and it loves it. Got it a little floatie, and it's obsessed. I feed it all kinds of treats every day. Then one day, I found a turtle egg in the bathtub. I looked up how to hatch it. Slowly, the egg started showing real signs of life. A month later, the baby turtle started pipping. At first, only its little head poked out. Then its whole body finally popped out. It's super feisty, crawling all over the place. I was blown away, a tiny egg turned into a whole new little life. I help the mom turtle take care of the baby. Before I knew it, we've got more and more turtles around the house.
