Me and Turtles: First you have to know that I am a total animal lover. I will walk up to most anything and get nose to nose with it. Reindeer, llamas, alpacas, cats, dogs, lizards are all friends of mine. Let me set the scene. We just moved to our 35-acre ranch on the desert plains of Colorado, US. We had scrub brush and yuccas galore. In the summer our land was alive with quail and small cute little turtles. Unfortunately, I was unable to see our ranch come to life int he spring because I was in the hospital for over 4 months. I had just gotten home and was still unable to move. I could move my arms and sit up by myself somewhat, but standing and walking was only a dream. Chris was so excited to show me these cute little turtles. She found one and put it in a casserole dish so I could get up close to it. I saw this harmless little turtle try to climb out of the dish and it scared me. I felt helpless because I couldn’t get away. Chris was in shock that she had to take the poor little thing away from me. I need to make peace with turtles. I would love to spend some time with them now. I’ve not a turtle seen since then.
