Default What a beast crossing my yard!!!

I was looking out the window admiring my lawn mow job when I saw this beast ambling across the grass.......

After the quick snap on digital zoom, I ran out and got a closer look.

I remember when Grandpa used to come visit he'd always bring turtle meat. This one is safe for now, but when I become a resident...............

Now change the background and turn it into a pattern...

Nice looking thing. Might you have a pond nearby it might have been in search of?

Mmm, turtle...

Turtle soup with a dash of sherry, that's the ticket. Though I have to admit that butchering one would probably gross me out the door!

You heard about the turtle and the snail that crashed at the intersection?
The police asked the turtle what happened? The turtle's reply, " I just can't remember it all happened so fast".

And of course what the snail said - the one sitting on the turtle's back:


"Wheeeeeeee!"


(Still cracks me up!)

I can honestly say I've never had a caribou wander thru any of my front yards. Moose now, thats a different story.

And yes Tor, we have a 40 acre "pond" or "slough" our land borders on. I'm guessing he came out of that.

Im so fouwd of turtales. now thats a big one. living in the high desert, we used to have lots. but now they are on the danger list. I see them some times when I cross the desert, but they are few and far betwean. I seen a semi. hit one one day. so I picked her up. put her in the back of my truck and went on to work. a guy going buy on his bike, seen her, and turned me in, the cops came to my work , with a warnt, to arest me. this was not good. for all the neibors seen it. out I went in hand cufs. ouch. in front of all to see. they picked up the turtale, out of the back of my truck. and low and behold she peed. I told the cops, I was afraid of that, for i seen the truck hit her, and was afraid if she peed . she couldn't get her water back. and would die. they said , well she peed now, so what happened when she got hit buy the truck?? I said I don't know. I didn't see her pee. I only know. if she got hit, she might of peed. and would die. so I picked her up. just in case. soo they said, what now. I said I don't know now. she peed so some one has to take cair of her. sooo they let me go. only if I agreed to take her to a turtale rescue. to recove her water. and to never pick up another turtle again with out a linceans. pee or no pee. True story. Evie

Can you explain why it is dangerous for the turtle to pee? I never have heard of that.
