hehehe....yes I do
My kids and I love those little box turtles.  We rescue them off of the roads all the time. I found out that here in Missouri, they are endangered. Legally, you can only keep 5 of the ornate box turtles.  My hubby spent 2 days building a habitat for the turtles we found , at our daughter's request.  She had done a "turtle habitat" project for her science class in school. We have 5 acres, so we thought "great!" ...the turtles can breed and we can release more into the woods.  Well, within 2 days, the little boogers had burrowed under the "pen" and escaped into the tall brush.  Well, at least they can breed in freedom!!!

Yes!
I rescue turtles often. I can't even kill bugs without feeling bad.  One time I hit a duck(I didn't see him until the last minute), it still makes my eyes water. Great poem
