Sunday Turtles

My dog Caligula gets to take a walk around the trails every evening with Bill. We have lots of turtles on our property, but he hardly ever finds them, except on Sundays:) When we take him on Sundays, we always say "Find us a Sunday Turtle, and sure enough, he digs one up somewhere on the trail. Yesterday Bill was down with a pulled muscle in his back, so I took the dog for his walk. He not only found one turtle, he found TWO! He was so proud of himself...prancing around with a turtle in his mouth. We always let him carry it a few seconds, then we take it away from him and bring it to the front to watch it come back out of its shell. We usually mark their shells with nail polish, and several times we've come back with one of the previously marked turtles:)

Ahh, life in the boonies....
