and oh yeah... as some of you may know from my intro, i have a pet sweet onion, named betty (formerly called "the onion named betty")...
actually... betty is more than just a pet.... she's my fiance, but that's a long, frustrating, story!

Nice turtle!  We're not allowed to keep turtles as pets here unless we suffer from strong allergies.

Droopy... I gotta ask.
What's the connection between turtle and allergies?

They don't give you any. 
We've got a very strict law on what's allowed to keep as a pet and what's not. Most children have furry pets. Those with fur allergies can apply for permission to keep turtles.
