Our neighbors have four turtles. We found that out by accident. A couple of days ago one was on our back lawn and our dog was attacking it. I'm not sure what Cuddles (our dog) wants with it. I wonder if she is just curious because it moves and hides or if she really wants to eat it.Doug caught her in a small plastic garbage can and he wasn't sure what to do with it. Our neighbors have quite a few pets and Doug thought that was a good place to start. Yup, it was their daughter's girl turtle. I think the other three are boys.
Today after church I kept on hearing this squeaky sound. I wondered if Cuddles had gotten stuck somewhere. Instead I looked out and found Cuddles moving another one of their turtles around like crazy. She didn't appreciate me bringing her into the house. She has decided that turtles are a lot of fun.
I could have swore that the turtle was flat. I thought Cuddles had sat on it or something. I waited until Doug came home from church and let him return the bigger turtle to our neighbor. They aren't at home so he returned him to a pond they have made in the backyard.
I would think that this turtle and the last one would be smart enough to stay away from our yard for fear of any more trauma. There are two more that have not made the journey. We'll have to see if any more are brave enough to come visit. We can't find where they are getting in.
They have added a little excitement around our house.

I remember when we had a baby duckling in our front yard and we returned it to Westport. What a strange thing to have in your back yard. I am glad that Cuddles is just playing with it and not eating it. That would not be good. Now you need to get Cuddles a pet turtle.
Byron wants some turtles, so if you can bring them up with you when you come that would be great:). How fun! It isn't every day that you see a turtle.
So cute! That's a fun visitor:) Turtles are sneaky. I think they dig underground or at least Ron and Rose had one that did.
:) Tiff
Our little visitors are cute. That makes sense that they would dig underground to get over to our house. Gophers have probably made a path for them. These neighbors have had huge gopher problems.
Byron I'm sure that you and your children would love a turtle. One thing to consider, our neighbor said that they carry samanilla sp? poisoning.
That sounds scary to me. I guess it is ok if they do a lot of hand washing but how many children are going to wash their hands every time they hold the turtle?
Janessa I do remember that duck. I thought the ducks were fun at Westport but they don't have them any more.
