He's back...

Sunday evening I walked out on the front porch and heard a noise...Looked over and there was a turtle, hmmm?

 Not sure how or why he was on the front porch but I picked him up and moved him over to the grass and I was tickled to note that it is one of the turtles that was in the driveway last year or the year before and we moved it up closer to the house...


 I knew him because of the gash in his shell. It was great to know he was still alive too. I turned the water hose on and let it run near him and he drank and drank and drank some more...He was one thirsty turtle....


 Michael was excited to see him again too. Once he drank his fill off he went out into the pasture...I was laughing as last time we saw him he played shy and would not come out of his shell, this time he was constantly out of his shell and showed no fear of us what so ever, too cool.


Always nice to see one of our turtles wandering around and I hope he comes back for more water too. I've noticed the animals are coming up to the house for water, getting really dry out there!!

What a cute little guy. His/her shell design is different from the ones here.

He's a land turtle Paula. Yours are water/pond turtles...
