To my awesome turtle

I got Sheldon as a birthday gift from my aunt when I was 5. Sheldon was such a unique turtle, he would act as if he were a dog. If I passed by his tank, he would hit in splash the water so he could get my attention. If I shook his food container, he would come splashing over. If I would walk away from him, he would hit and splash the water because he wanted me to come back to him. About a week ago, Sheldon got diagnosed with metabolic bone disease. The next day he sadly passed. This was a very hard time for me because he was my first pet ever and I knew that I would miss him. That day, I decided to have him cremated because then he will always be with me.
