TIME TO RESCUE ANOTHER TURTLE! :)

Another day...  Another treatment...

No complaints though, only that they tend to be scheduled way too bright and early! I already have one heck of a time trying to stay on some sort of sleep schedule. HA! What's that?

Unfortunately, we got hit with another huge storm system that brought with it WAY too much rain. Rain that our sinking house did not need which made the scary sounds from a leaning and pulling stone chimney top that much scarier! EEEEE~YIKES!! No worries, because our urgent vacating game plan is already in the works! We were hopeful that this time would never come, but soon enough it will be back on the road with our fur children in tow. Did I just pull another rhyme or what?. Hahahahaha!

I remember as a kid my Dad stopping on the middle of the road out of no where! He would do a quick illegal U-turn, look in the backseat at us kids and say, "All be darn! Hold on for a minute. I see a turtle out on the road!" Those were the good ole days. One just never knew what we were stopping for or what would be rescued next, but by golly! My Dad made sure it was rescued! Same with a raccoon that once got stuck in our bird feeder. Talking about a tricky rescue with a thick glass enclosure and one very scared raccoon stuck inside after gorging himself a few extra pounds. Heeheeheehee! I guess you can say, that the turtle rescue has continued onto the next generation. Me.

On our way up to the hospital. In the middle of the road. Sure enough! There was a poor little box turtle. How in the world did he get there, out in the middle of a busy road? Who knows, but OFF to turtle RESCUE! Heeheeheehee! As I quickly did a huge U-turn, illegal as heck in the country, I looked at Eric and said, "Hold on! Be back in a second! Gotta rescue the turtle!" Eric didn't even have a chance to react. He was still shocked that I pulled an illegal U-turn and then parked on the side of the shoulder. Another illegal stunt, but who cares when a turtle is in need of being rescued! Heeheeheehee!

Of course, since we were on our way to the hospital for my next round of treatments, we had to do a make-shift temporary bed for the little box turtle. While I was in treatment, Mr. Turtle was snoozing the morning hours away, tucked nice and snug in Snoreo and Littleblue's back seat blanket. NO way! I wasn't going to put him anywhere, but where I know he would be safe and happy. A place where he could eat lots of bugs, leaves, twigs and with a small creek so he could have lots of water to drink.

Sounds like a familiar place... Hmmmm....

18-acres that surrounds the wooded hillside. Right behind our fence on far more safer and stable ground, we welcomed our first rescued box turtle. Eric built a nice make-shift hide out, just until Mr. Turtle got comfortable enough to explore his new 18-acre wooded home.

What a great way to start the beginning of spring! Another one of God's creatures rescued! Now safe and sound.

Isn't it crazy how life repeats itself? One turtle rescue generation after another and without one single U-turn violation, illegal shoulder parking ticket!
