Springtime for turtles

[klwilliams]

When I woke up this morning Dymphna was sunning herself on the floor under the window in our bedroom, and G'Kwan was pestering her for sex. From my observations over the next half hour or so, she said no, then moved away, then said no, etc. Finally I picked him up and put him in my study. A while later I heard this repeated crashing sound coming from the kitchen, and realized he'd gone to fight the strange turtle that lives in the reflective surface of the garbage can. (He always stops when I get close, so I can't get video.) This is good news, since male turtles fight before sex, and the winner gets the girl. With only two turtles, I think G'Kwan has been trying to fight Dymphna, who will have none of him. It will be interesting to see if this improves relations between them.
