As I pulled into the driveway yesterday after work, I was surprised to see some of the neighbors and Dan staring at something in our yard. It was a VERY large turtle that was definitely unhappy to be stuck in the yard and not in the pond. It had crossed the street and headed towards the pond in our backyard. Dan had left the garage door open that afternoon to air it out. Lucky for us the neighbor kids were watching and saw the turtle head into the garage and came over to tell him. So Dan "assisted" it out of the garage as it hissed and snapped at him.
I must admit for its size, it sure was a scary thing! We were a little concerned that this moody animal might bite a curious kid-o... so we were trying to "encourage" it back to the pond. Made me think twice about what kinds of animals are living in that big pond of ours.
This moody thing was frustrated with Dan trying to get it out of the yard and decided to head over to our neighbors. Maybe they would be more welcoming.
We decided to go work on some landscaping and came back to the front yard a little later to see if it had gotten anywhere and we could not find it. Hope the neighbors little dogs are OK!
Here is Dan trying to save us all!

Seriously, that snappy turtle has a major attitude! The shovel was very ingenious of you guys--thanks for the video--it made me smile! Hope your moody turtle stays away. (By the way, who knew turtles had such long tails? I could see it's gross tail wagging as he walked away...yuck!).
Love it! So funny!
