"Those Unfortunate Little Green Turtles" by KC Grier

"When I was a child in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I looked forward to a trip to Woolworth’s with great anticipation. I loved sitting at the lunch counter for a tasty hot dog on a buttery toasted bun and an orange drink or even a milk shake delivered in a metal container with a separate glass. This bliss was followed by time spent perusing the aisles with my allowance or birthday money clutched in my hand. Miniature bottles of “Evening in Paris” perfume, tiny tea sets, small stuffed animals and elegant (to my eyes) costume jewelry, novelty pencil sharpeners and ceramic cats for my collection…and the Pet Department! You could hear the squaking parakeets the minute your entered the store. The hamsters and white mice running on their wheels, the large tanks full of goldfish and guppies….bliss to an animal-crazy child like me.

Where did the small green turtles come from? By the time I made my purchase, they were captive-bred in turtle farms in the deep South, particularly Louisiana where turtle farming still thrives, mainly serving the Asian food market. Woolworth’s pet departments had been limited to goldfish until 1935, when price limits on the cost of items ended and more expensive creatures could be offered for sale along with cages, collars and leashes, pet toys, and packaged food and medicines. While Woolworth’s pet departments survived until the entire chain closed in 1997, little green turtles ceased being part of the stock in 1975, when the Food and Drug Administration banned pet stores from selling turtles smaller than four inches in length because children picked up salmonella from playing with their pets and failing to wash their hands.

31 claws and talons allows you to compare their size and appreciate the functional differences connected to the different behaviors in hunting and eating.

Peanut & Friends

Kitties are just the best! We love them with all our hearts. We love all animals, so feel free to share anything animal-related. The Girls:

Peanut - Just your basic adorable, 5-lb mini cat. She's ginger, so don't expect her to be anything but mischievous. She's a wicked little cat and will charge out at you when you least expect it, and she likes to greet me at the door and turn flips for me when I come home.

Molly - The gentle love-bunny. She's ALWAYS purring, licks you up like a dog and has the softest fur ever, like a rabbit, a Green-Eyed Tortie rabbit. Her belly smells like corn chips and she is always at my side, always wide-eyed with love every living breathing moment! And she even does tricks!
