	What in the world is a �Turtle Wife�? A turtle wife is just like a football or golf widow � except the operative word is now �turtle.� The Turtle Wife�s spouse is totally obsessed with/fixated on/passionate about nature�s shelled wonders. There are a surprising number of us, and we put up with a lot from our significant others. For instance, while the football, golf, and baseball widow gets dragged to the stadium, the golf links, or the ballpark, the turtle wife spends untold hours at the pet store, the reptile expo, and . . . sigh . . . even the pet wholesaler.
