I am Witchy-Poo, a pet eastern box turtle who was found in the wild crossing a road in the Catskills, I'm told, in 1969. (I do not advocate taking healthy animals like myself out of my environment without good cause. I've been with my human family for so long so I can not be released into the wild at this point. However, I am very happy where I am- accept when I'm grumpy, but hey, I'm old and I'm entitled to be!). At the time I was adopted, I was full grown, so I have been with my family for 43 yrs and I'm at least that old.
