May 2018

Was home with my two young daughters. I also happened to be home for lunch (not usual). We lived next to a pond in Tennessee. She was a turtle in the front yard and was ready to send the girls out to say hi. Needless to say I stopped it. The sucker was big and vicious. I eventually got it into a trash can and dumped it back in the pond. Tempted to beat it to death.
