While Walking the Dogs...
Current Mood:
CC is listening to: La Vieux Piano--Edith Piaf (The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf) It amazes me that I can find something as big as this growing in the wild in the suburbs. I was walking the dogs along the park path behind the apartments when I saw a bobbing head in the grass.
At first I wanted to keep it as a pet (I'd already named it Gamera after the godzilla-type movie monster), but when I started doing research, many websites said that it was a bad idea to keep a box turtle for a pet. Not only is it detrimental to the environment, but they also get incredibly stressed and about half of the box turtles caught in captivity die.
So I just kept it long enough for Steve to see when he came home a few hours later, then he and I set it free at a nearby creek.
(wondered if I should say that my naming everything right away reminded me of Azusa Shiratori, that minor Ranma 1/2 character who does the same thing...decided against it because it'll make me look too geeky)
