Box Turtle

There is a turtle that keeps coming into our yard.  (Remember it could have previously been featured on "Life After People" it was so neglected).  Anyway, we've tried to rehome him (via the neighbors yard) several times.  Each time, he comes back into our yard and I take him away from Ginsburg (the weimaraner). 

So this time we put him in a kiddy pool and called both Kansas Wildlife (sadly, not helpful) and then the University's Nature Reach (much more helpful).  They said to put him back in the yard.  So we put him behind the garage (and out of the way of the dogs) and wished him luck. 

The kids were sad to see him go.  But it was a good lesson in wildlife and being good stewards of nature.
