so in addition to our 3 dogs and a pond of goldfish, we now have a turtle.
i have been wanting a box turtle for years. we live near a creek though so most of the turtles you see out crossing the roads are water turtles.
a friend found a 3 toed box turtle on the road last week though and we offered to give her a home in our backyard.
it is in fact a "her" according to the internet, which has now made me an expert. ;)
now here's just hoping she will be happy and stay put...and that the dogs will let her live happily ever after. :)
