[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694523, member: 18958"] I was shocked when I got to this part. They sound still like puppies--except for Mac's eyes. I don't know why M brought him home. I think he was stunned. We have never ever found a turtle here. But I think also it was the same kind of choice as when a kitty brings home for his Mommy all manner of presents--like snakes. I think his sanity briefly left him and he really did not think. Because he knew he had to bring it back to his ecosystem, when his reason returned. Especially when nobody in the house was bathing. And then, it was hard for us to know just what to do. Even me. I had never coveted a turtle and really it would have been a stretch to live with one. But once it appeared the responsible thing to do, was not immediately clear--except it was. We just felt this sense of responsibility to it. Which had to be worked through. Kind of like a D C. We had to detach. He is sad too. There was certainly an element of bonding and destiny. Like if a unicorn showed up in your yard--it was surely meant to be. [/QUOTE]
