When my daughter gets home, she sets her lunch bag up here and takes her work backpack downstairs. Copper is always so anxious to go down with her. I hear her, and I cannot tell if she is upset with Copper or laughing at him. Then she yells for me to come down.
This soft shelled turtle was down in her window box...I don't know what else to call it. She has two big windows in her basement and they are below ground level. The top of the wall that holds back the dirt is over 5 ft tall..maybe even 6 ft. About half way down is like a bed of hostas...then it is another 3 ft or more to the ground. This window box has the iron fencing around it so we have no idea how it got down there.
She climbed down in and put him in the box...it is 12 inches long,, and I forget how wide....
She just the other day caught what we think is the last bullfrog and took him out back to the drainage pipe and set him free. We have taken one to the big retention pond. This turtle we took to the retention pond that we can sort of see from our back yard. It is not tiny. This is what they look like when tiny.
I am posting a different pic over on my other blog.
