Oh Thelma I am getting a very funny mental picture! LOL! I really enjoyed hearing that Yertle has an "active period." I have to admit I have never really thought of turtles being very active! Trevor has a new habit of sitting on one of the lower steps going down into the living room. This way he can watch what's going on in the living room as well as turn his neck and see up the stairs. The first time I saw him do this it was sort of dark in the stairway. At the very last minute, trying to avoid stepping on his tail, I almost fell down the stairs! Fortunately it would have only meant a matter of a couple of steps, but I am sure I could have managed to break something in the process! LOL!
