Who Needs Turtleman...

Max the dog was having a fit this afternoon, so Uncle John went to see what the fuss was all about.  He comes back with this ugly guy. 

The kids immediately wanted to check it out.

Apparently he was in the garden, probably eating the cabbage. But his ultimate destination was the pond.  

Not a great place for him, so Uncle loaded him up and took him down to the creek and let him go.   He's have a big journey to get back to the pond and a road to cross.
