This summer, my dad promised hell buy me a pet. I was seriously sure I wanted a parrot. We went at the pet shop, I was kind of disappointed of what Ive seen. The parrots seemed to have a lot of disadvantages like noise and a lot of mess. I called mom and she sugested, more like a joke, a turtle. Well, I thought a bit: they live 50 to 100 years, so if I am careful my pet wont die soon. Also, they are quiet, dont make much mess, they like to be in the center of attention, they like hot places (and in my apartment its really hot,) and so on. But there was a problem. At the shop, there were no turtles. It was late, so we gave up for that day. Next day, 8 august, we got at the market, and found a lady with fish and a lot of food for them and turtles. We asked if she had any turtle on sale, and she pointed a bowl of them in a corner. They were all tiny and cute… I saw one, kind of crazy, in a good way. She kept swimming, not staying a second. I really liked her. Finally, got home, thought about different names, none of them seem to be pretty enough for her. I remembered then about Sookies cat (Southern Vampires/True Blood): Tina. A cute, short and proper name for my little one. Makes you think about something tiny. =) Nyan, dont mind me. All in one, got today a new camera, really great. Tested it on her. And dont mind the childish carpet. I was little when I chose it.

NTNM ep9 – All in the Family, Part 2/3
While jogging through the city’s sewers, the five Turtles find an animal cage holding a live endangered baby hawksbill sea turtle. The TMNT discover the man responsible for capturing the little terrapin — Simon Bonesteel — just as the poacher is about to sell the baby turtle to a dealer in illegal wildlife trade. After a brief introductory skirmish with Bonesteel and his overcoat’s seemingly endless arsenal of weaponry, the Turtles manage to escape with the young hawksbill. Bonesteel, however, is far from beaten and vows to take up the hunt— the hunt for Ninja Turtles! The TMNT are barely a few sewer blocks away when Bonesteel attacks anew. The fight is fast and furious as Bonesteel proves to be as much a physically powerful street brawler as he is adept at using bull whips, crossbows and steel net snares. Seeing that they appear to be evenly matched, the TMNT and Bonesteel agree to a truce of sorts. Each side going their respective ways; the Turtles with the baby turtle and Bonesteel with his dignity. It isn’t until several sewer blocks later that the TMNT realize that Bonesteel had tricked them, somehow making off with the infant hawksbill! After careful consideration, and a quick education about the perils of illegal trade in endangered turtles and the legal (though no less deadly) turtle pet industry, the five Turtles decide to hunt the hunter, and hunt Bonesteel they do, poaching the poacher and saving the baby sea turtle, while seeing the commonality that they …
