Baby Turtle

Today on our lake walk we ran across a baby turtle about the size of a quarter. The poor thing was lying in the middle of the path. I was afraid that it might get run over by a biker or stepped on by people walking around the lake. A lot of people don't look down. The boys and I put the turtle on a log in the water.

Dh was walking the boys after work when they met a squirrel. For some reason the squirrel kept following them. Unfortunately the squirrel got to close. Bean pounced and killed the poor thing. Dh managed to get it out of Bean’s mouth. As soon as Bean dropped the squirrel Wally snatched it up. Wally was able to fit the whole squirrel in his mouth. Dh could not get Wally to open his mouth. A lady saw what was happening and came out to help. Between the two of them they managed to get the squirrel out. Luckily Wally only swallowed some fur. Dh was afraid that Wally would try to swallow the whole squirrel to keep dh from getting it. Dh immediately called the vet to make sure that the boys didn’t need any extra medicines or vaccinations, luckily for the most part squirrels don’t pose much of a problem.
