ok. this isn't actually her but of course i didn't have the camera so here's her internet twin.coming home yesterday and there's a poor painted turtle jaywalking across hall ave., heading south.
"she'll never make it! let's go back!"
so a quick loop around the block and i hop out of the car, ready to rescue. and then i'm scuttling along the curb after the turtle, she running for her life, me making girly attempts to pick her up.
finally wrestled her into the car and headed for the river.
she's terrified, flailing around in a panic as i hold her by the shell over my lap. i'm sure she could sense that i wasn't a trained turtle handler, that i was also a little terrified.
but at least i didn't PEE MY PANTS like she did. i almost made it to the river without getting wet!
"puppies and turtles, ev. they love your lap!" he laughed.
i sent her down the hill to the river, then went home and washed my clothes and hands.
we have another thing to laugh about now.
thank you, incontinent turtle.....!!
