Tonight Katie went ballistic while watching out the front door for her Dad and her Aunt Vi to arrive home from the hospital.
Guess what was in the driveway? This one hissed at me too, but she was so small it didn’t matter. I carried her over to the pond (the direction she was headed anyway) and let her go.
Another turtle with a scary life experience who survived to tell the story.
Katie’s mad again.

Well at least this one wasn’t a snapper, unlike the previous day’s.

Those aren’t snapping turtles are they? Turtles don’t normally hiss – at least not the ones I have every enountered – but then again we have different turtles back home 🙂

Glad you were able to help this turtle to the pond! I love your Katie header photo! And I was just thinking about Aunt V and was happy to hear you were waiting for them to arrive. I sure hope she is doing better!

My goodness…it’s raining turtles by you. Poor Katie–she could have given it something to hiss about….

I remember walking the collies early one morning (4:30 AM) a two or three years ago. During that walk Deacon managed to meet a turtle that I didn’t see. I swear he must have jumped a foot in the air and landed on my foot. It took me a split second to figure out why, then I just had a good hearty laugh at my silly boy. I think he was startled when the rock moved.

Obviously the turtles are there to greet and watch over Aunt Vi! Encouraging her to be tough on the outside 🙂

Good point Sara….she IS a tough old bird…I hope I’m as tough when I get to be 95!
Amy, saw another huge turtle in our yard when I went to work. This time I just went to work and left it. It’s on it’s own!
