STOP! Turtle Crossing the Road

[Bonny]

Today on the way home from the grocery run a turtle was sitting on the road where my right front tire would of done it in. I slammed on the brakes knowing no one was behind me, backed up, got the car on the shoulder opened the car door & grabbed the turtle. A big old cement truck came barrelilng around the corner & moved over the center line, there was no on coming traffic & the guy waved. I took the turtle across the road & believe me it was on a mission as soon as I put it down it headed down the bank into the woods. The turtle lives to see another day. The turtle must of thought the warm pavement on the road was a good place to stop & warm up. It was a painted turtle approximately 7 inches long (length of shell).

Oh, goodness, thanks for saving that turtle! I think all ours have spent the majority of July IN the water to stay cool!

Good job!

When I used to drive, I always stopped when I saw a turtle trying to cross the road. I would then carry them to the side of the road they were heading for. Yea, I'm nuts but the turtles were happy and alive.

Absolutely not nuts!! "Wonderful" is the word that comes to my mind!
