What? Needed help? It's just a turtle.
"You don't understand," Markana replied, "We've been trying to pick it up with a shovel, but it snapped at me, I screamed, Stella cried, and we need your help." OK. Whatever.
But then I saw this mean little SOB...
I'm not sure I've ever seen a snapping turtle outside of a zoo or YouTube, but this little guy was super-quick and scary. So we picked him up (with said shovel), and carried him down to the creek to let him go. He scampered off quickly and that was that.
M told me later that while they were trying to catch him before I got home Stella said, "We need the Wonder Pets. Where are they?"
Thank you, T.V., for raising my child.
You should have saved him for the great July 4th turtle race! I am very proud of you, brave son of mine, for protecting your little family. Love, Mom
