will he run up your back and perch on your shoulder yet?

Nope, he does let me pet him and scratch his back.
is that as amazing as it sounds?

also could we get a close up picture of the little guy/gal?

i bet if you worked on it hard enough you could get him to talk.  they key is to start slow, with little words.

Was swimming at Black Swan Lake this weekend and there's all these fish that congregate by the pool because kids feed them I guess.  Also there was a big snapping turtle.  :sdeek:  So I jumped in and grabbed him by the tail.  As I was hoisting him by the tail I could feel like vertebrae being popped.  I held him for a while and then my arm got tired so I let him go.

Very brave though, right?  Are you convinced I might be a badass?

So this morning I was driving to work and I spotted a turtle crossing a very busy four lane road (going at the usual leisurely pace) and thought there was no way he would make it. Well later I went home for lunch and it WASN'T dead in the street

No way you can tell me it had been hit and removed already. Amazing story of survival.

Well anyways just thought I would share

did I tell you guys the story about how I was on the way to work a couple years ago and a mother duck and all her ducklings were crossing a four lane road and I threw on the hazards and blocked both north bound lanes and herded them off the east side of the road towards the pond where they lived? felt good.

The chipmunk is now healthy enough to escape and is currently stuck in my vent. ... took off cover and tried to grab him but he went into duct work, made a ladder for him to climb out with and put some strawberrys and nuts outside of vent.
