I know, it doesn’t look that big in the picture, but my dog weighs about 50 pounds, and that turtle was about 20 feet away from him. Trust me, it was a big turtle. The thought did cross my mind to get in for a closer picture, but I like my dog’s nose whole, and myself whole for that matter. (We are in Texas, we are nearly country, and walking into someone else’s yard is grounds for getting shot. I respect that. Turtle pictures can wait.)
