I'm moving where??

This week I broke the news to Turtle that he'll be moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan in August. Judging by this photo, I think it's going to take some time for him to warm up to the idea. He says he's a California puggle through and through.

First camping trip

This weekend we took Turtle camping in Big Sur. It was only car camping, but Turtle was still very stressed out because he's used to city life and he's never spent a night under the stars.

Here he is "helping" Tyler set up the tent. (At this point he didn't know he would be sleeping inside of it.)


Admiring his work...


The next day, Turtle got to check out the white sand beach in nearby Carmel. He particularly enjoyed looking at all the fancy houses and checking out the tide pools.




After two nights of restless sleep - guarding the tent from bunnies and mice - Turtle found a nice sleeping spot on the drive back home.

Birthday boy

Turtle celebrated his first birthday today with some special treats!




Here's a video of when we first met Turtle at the airport. It's hard to believe he's been our roommate for 9 months!
