Hi Painter! Happy Pet of the Day to you, and to your dear little brother Pebble, too! What a precious painted pair you two cuties make

I know that Painted Turtles are common in North America, from Canada to Mexico, but while I've met many a Box Turtle I have yet to come across a Painted Turtle in the wild...and here your family has stumbled upon not just one but two, you just quarter sized!

Just as your human says, you truly are one special fellow, Painter! Not only are you as handsome as can be, but so happy and healthy and spunky as well, truly living the good life! And no doubt before long your little brother will grow up to be just as handsome and healthy as you!

How lucky your young guardians are, having animal companions as unique, as sweet, as special as you two cuties! You're the best, and so very deserving of your big day in the spotlight!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, Painter and Pebble! Meeting you two today, reading your heartwarming backstories and seeing your beautiful photos has been a real treat! I hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration...swimming about in your tank, munching on tasty Turtle treats, being loved and pampered to pieces by your proud and devoted guardians! Lots of love to you, precious Painter and Pebble, our very special and most deserving Pets of the Day, EVERY day! Long and happy life to you both!

Best brothers!!!
