Turtle Saver!

Today I did what I've always wanted to do when I'm in the passenger seat.. I saved a turtle from getting squished.  It wasn't a busy road, and I didn't have Oliver with me, so I felt okay about putting on my emergency blinkers and stopping to wait for him to cross.  Unfortunately, the little fellow got stage fright and stopped about 3 feet from the side of the road- and oh boy, the cars were coming.  I waited for the car coming up behind me to pass, then I jumped out and hoped he wasn't a snapping turtle.  He had bright red eyes, so I think that means he's a male- so handsome he was.  Anyway, I asked him to not bite, and I carefully went down the hill and placed him safely on the other side.  Yes, we had a moment.  Happy trails lil turtle, happy trails.
