I used to just count them (out of curiosity) and then relocate them away from my turtle-napping dog. Once Nikki grew up and lost interest, however, I let the turtles stay. And that&#8217;s when we started recognizing them by their markings and giving them real names.<\/p>\n<p>The first one was &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lucynolanbooks.com\/wordpress\/2022\/05\/18\/oh-its-marcelle\/\">Marcelle<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then came &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lucynolanbooks.com\/wordpress\/2022\/06\/22\/not-marcelle\/\">Not Marcelle<\/a>.&#8221; Duh.<\/p>\n<p>So, since the newest one is not Marcelle and not even Not Marcelle, she is called &#8220;Not Not Marcelle.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I think Not Not Marcelle wants to escape the back yard.
