Far, far from water we discovered this baby
Lil asked, What is this thing?
Hubby's size twelve gives you an idea how big it was.
Well, it's not a poison snake, Bonnie said.
Today instead of fried turtle
(we're from the South and it ain't cooked unless it's fried)
we decided to help this big fellow out.
A Gator ride later he reaches fresh water and is set free.
Bonnie is still not sure what to think.
Ki-Anne sticks her head under the water trying to track the turtle
Bonnie tries too
The turtle swims away.

Hello Gail, I think the turtle is happy to be back in the water. Great shots of the turtle and your adorable dogs.

What a neat turtle! I'm sure he was thankful to be in the water instead of fried!

How refreshing to open up your blog after not blogging for so long and finding someone that still blogs! Absolutely love it!!! I started out blogging to journal for myself and will probably start up again. Thanks!!!
That is a very big turtle, and what a great story.
Thank you, Gail... you know how I love turtles!
What a big boy!! I love a story with a happy ending!!
Glad you were able to assist his travels and keep him out of the road...
Gail and her man to the rescue......yay
that's a big one alright. bigger than Big Mama I think.
They always come in our yard and pasture. We presume from the bayou across the street. It's usually females, I think; and usually to lay eggs. Don't think we've ever seen little ones, but crows and other critters are quick to dig up the nests. They're usually only a few inches deep.
There's no lack of turtles across the street, I know that.
Or weeds. If farmers or neighbors don't keep the bayou clear, it just gets overgrown.
Great pictures! God bless. ♥
Nice relocation and I am sure was appreciated. Loved your under water tracking dogs.
Aw sweet...a very happy ending for the turtle :)
That was a very good deed! VERY!
Great set of pictures Gail.
I'm sure he was happy to be back in the water.
All the best Jan
