Turtle Stops Dirty Dogs

Advantages: A washable doormat which prevents most dirt being walked into the house.
Disadvantages: My dogs like eating them!

...Wiping feet is one of the few things that husbands are more easily trained to do than dogs. I've managed to train dogs to wait at the door for feet to be wiped but that's as far as I've got. One day a friend passed me a leaflet for Turtle? Mats Classic Range. A large dog with muddy paws was walking across a Turtle Mat and the implication was that it would emerge at the other end with clean paws. I was sceptical. Well, when you've got a couple of Rhodesian Ridgebacks who are international standard at getting dirty you've every right to be sceptical. We used to have lawns, but in wet weather we regularly had more of it in the house than outside, to the extent that the word "lawn" became an indication of location rather than a description of content. Turtle Mats have 100% cotton pile on either a latex (for use on smooth...

Animal hospital - Turtle Beach Style

Advantages: Guaranteed to see a logger head, the staff are totally devoted to the cause
Disadvantages: It is soul destroying and very upsetting seeing the turtles in this state

...The loggerhead turtle (?Caretta Caretta?) is a unique selling point of the area and the people of Dalyan use these magnificent creatures to boost tourism. Turtle gifts and souvenirs can be bought almost everywhere. From key rings, mugs, statues, photos, and t-shirts. If there is room to put a turtle on it then a turtle will be put on it. The increase in tourism has led to an increase in boats, which has led to an increase in injured turtles. As you?re all aware turtles need to breath air, which means they have to frequently surface making them susceptible to being injured by boat propellers, and it is these propellers that injure the turtles. It is ironic that tourism is harming the very thing that created it. The Turtle sanctuary was set up to assist these injured turtles on their road to recovery. Whilst it is primarily set up...

Review of Turtle Sanctuary, Isutzu Beach

Turtle power

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...The Turtles were a mid-to late 1960's Californian band headed by singers Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. Originally starting out as a surf band, by the middle of the decade they had shaped a sound of harmonious power pop and were one of the few home-grown acts to compete with the British invasion of the US charts at the time. Their biggest hit was in 1967 when they took Happy Together to the top of the US charts, but with the new decade looming and heavier acts like Hendrix breaking through, it was all over for them by 1969. However, they left a legacy of good solid pop songs, of which this compilation is all about. Though you might not have heard of them, I think you'll recognise some of the hits. First recorded by The Byrds, You Showed Me is a measured love song, taken at a slower speed than the original. It was this...

Myrtle The Turtle Gets A Ramp

Advantages: Makes it easy for turtles to get to there basking area
Disadvantages: makes the tank shady

...As some of you may know I have recently bought myself a turtle, a yellow bellied turtle to be more precise called Myrtle. He is a semi aquatic turtle and needs a platform to sunbathe on. When I set up my tank I thought I had done a good job, I had a pile of rocks with a piece if slate resting on the top. But after a day or two the whole thing collapsed and poor Myrtle had nowhere to sunbathe anymore. I remembered when I was in the shop buying him that the display tank had a floating platform. After enquiring about it in the shop I discovered that it was called a Turtle Dock and would cost me £9.00. A Turtle dock is basically a piece of hard plastic made to look like a piece of bark. One side of which slopes down into the water so that turtles can get onto it easily without hurting themselves. The platform is held in position by...

Hero's In A Half-Shell - Turtle Power

Advantages: Entertaining, funny
Disadvantages: They are messy and produce salmonella

...This review is about yellow bellied turtles and not turtles in general. Yellow bellied Turtles (Trachemys Scripta) come from south-east of the USA from Florida through to Texas. They are olive green or brown in colour and have a distinctive yellow blotch behind there eyes when they are in adolescence. Their shells are hard and are brown on the top and a creamy yellow underneath, often with dark blotches. The shells can grow up to one foot in diameter but do not usually exceed eight inches in diameter. Females tend to grow larger than the males. They can live up to 30 years of age in the wild, but around 20 years in captivity. They are often called sliders because at the slightest threat of danger they will push themselves of their basking spot and slide into the water. When basking they stick out there necks put out there back legs...

I Stamped On A Turtles Head !!!!!!

Advantages: Babies Love It
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does

...For my sons first birthday last year my brother asked me what should he get him and I said I don't know just use your imagination and for once he did rather than just sticking £20 in a card. With my help Harley was opening his presents on the morning of his birthday and when he came across my brothers gift got all excited. He had bought him the Fisher Price Build and Spill Turtle. After eventually getting all the parts free the bindings I set it up only to relise it needed batteries as none came with it. Luckily in the kitchen drawer I found the 3 AA batteries it needed and minute screwdriver to install them. Then we had action the turtle was basically an extended version of a shape sorter but using peek a boo style blocks each with an animal in the middle and a studded surface top and bottom. The studs are so that the blocks can not...

Turtle Beach wedding

Advantages: clean, close to the beach
Disadvantages: value for money, service

...Myself, my husband and two children went to the Turtle Beach Resort in Barbados in October 2007 to get married. On arrival we were greeted by a rather rude receptionist called Kacedy, She had no idea of any answers to our questions regarding our wedding and told us to ask somebody else. We were then brought up a Rum cocktail which was vile. Within the first 10 minutes of arriving i just wanted to go home. After about an hour we were escorted to our room and our bags were taken down by a member of staff on a trolley. Our room was very nice,it was decorated in bright exotic colours which i thought was really nice. We had a terrace instead of a balcony which our travel agent advised because of the children, although a balcony would have been much safer with the children as our room opened right onto the swimming pool and my youngest...

Review of Turtle Beach Resort, Dover

The Turtle with Purple Pants

Advantages: No batteries required, very sturdy
Disadvantages: Can be a bit hard to push down the shell

...This review is on the Early Learning Centre (ELC) Flash the Turtle (I didn?t actually realise that was his name until I looked him up on the ELC website ? but I like it!) ****Description**** The turtle is made from a sturdy plastic, with some rubber around the wheels to give him some extra grip as he speeds along. The main colour of Flash is yellow, he also has some turquoise on his shell and has red wheels and a cheeky grin on his face. I think the funniest part is that he has purple pants on with pink spots, but maybe that?s just me! He has a total height of approx 14cm and a length of approx 15cm. ****What does it do?**** The turtle is a toy that you push down for it to move along on its own. In this case you push down his shell, I actually find this fairly stiff and my son who is 16 months old has only recently been...

Turtles in Time 'COWABUNGA'

Advantages: Defeat the evil master 'Shredder'
Disadvantages: Tiresome fingerpressing action, arguing about pizza (powerups)

...Oh yes, I remember this game, all those many moons ago, ok it was at least 6 years since I last played this game. Being a 'turtle fan' at the time, I pestered for this game for my Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Really its not my kind of game these 'beat em ups' as I'm a non-violent and delicate kind of girl but these were 'The teenage Mutent Hero/Ninja Turtles' - so as all children, I wanted this game! I still have this game although its somewhere in the attic with everything else I don't use 'nowadays'. Like I said before I haven't played this game for a good 6 years so please bare with me while I try to remember, but here goes......... Turtles in Time This game, as I said before is an action 'beat em up' game. Similar to 'Double Dragon', you remember that too? Anyway, I can't remember the maximum number...

Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 - KOWABANGA

Advantages: Great action, great laughs, good story, movie for all people
Disadvantages: Hockey guy does not remain from 1st film - but who cares

...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back for the second time, and better than the first movie. The first movie was a classic but they found more ways to make this one better. In this action packed comedy film, the Turtles find out that the Shredder survived the fall into the garbage truck from the first film. Now he is looking for recruits known as footsoldiers to help bring the mean green ninja fighting machines down. The fight sequences are hilarious and extremely well choreographed. The story line is gripping as they are looking to destroy the canisters of ooze that can mutate all animals and humans into greater creatures ie. how the turtles came into being. The ooze falls into the wrong hands and it is up to the turtles to stop them. This film is a classic and should be watched with he other two turtle films. However, this one...
