Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.

[Whateverist]

I've fostered a turtle for a few days. Found the poor guy trying to clamber up a foot high median on a busy road. Dad had to stop the motorbike, run across traffic, grab him, and run back to the sidewalk. Tried to put him in my backpack for the rest of the ride, but he wiggled his way out of my hands and off the side beneath tin sheets into a live construction area. Whoever told you turtles are slow is wrong. That was one fast mfer. Had to go into the construction site, convince the workers to poke around into the little deep gap he'd gotten stuck in. Finally found him and brought him home. Now he lives in a family friend's natural pond with three other turtled and no roads, at all.

Thats-a-nice.  I like a happy ending.


When I was in middle school and starting high school I lived in Maryland just outside of D.C.  Our backyard backed on a mile deep bit of woods which I tromped through all the time.  I ruined a lot of karma bringing home box turtles and black snakes, but those were in my speciesist days when human amusement counted for more than it does now with me.
