Dad and Zach have been building a back porch for a man that lives in Lubbock today and while they were there Zach saw a rather large turtle crawling across the front yard. The man didn't want it so Zach brought it home for the boys, who happen to be really fond of reptiles. He was named Mr. Turtle. We have a huge horse trough that was used as a lye bath to remove paint a while back, so it is no longer good to water anything. The boys have worked hard to clean it out and make a habitat for reptiles out of it. That is where Mr. turtle's new abode is. Before we put him in there we wanted to see what the dog and cats would do with him. I love Quincy, but she is rather a coward when it comes to turtles. All the turtles we have had in the past, scared her so bad, and I have no idea why. This one was no exception. And one of our nosy cats learned not to be so nosy.
