Nemo Takes The Plunge

Nemo was assisted from his hibernation igloo this morning to hydrate. I wish I'd taken a photo of him sitting outside his igloo still in hibernation position. I'll get it from the camcorder at a later date. Watching him stretch out from being so scrunched up was fun. I placed him near his wading pool and he managed to flop in except for his tail and right rear foot. lol. He stayed in this position for about a minute until the rest of him went into the water. Poor Brian (who had not seen how long Nemo can stay underwater) was fearful Nemo wasn't breathing. As you can see, there are tiny turtle air bubbles. He soaked for nearly an hour and then went directly to his summer home where he tucked himself under the house. If he hadn't done that, how would we have been sure it was MY Nemo? hehe
