Junior coming up to say good night

Sometimes I try not to think about what goes on inside Junior's head. It's so easy for us to associate intelligence or pet-like behaviors to dogs and cats. But for those of us who've never had a turtle, fish, or other types of pets, we often think less of these pets. I know I did. I only work with dogs and cats so I never experienced the joy of having a turtle in the house --- until Junior. Junior taught me a lot (like how much work is involved in his upkeep!). At times, he sends me tumbling into a reflective mood. I can't help but wonder if Junior exhibits these behaviors, what else goes on in his head?

Sleep tight, little Junior.
