DADDY THE HERO


Those are the words from Rebecca today as I came home with Speedy. Speedy is the creature that I arrived home with this afternoon that scared my wife (she didn't know what was in the bag). The tale of Speedy is a sad one, a tale that would of meant certain doom if it weren't for me. You see Speedy was attempting to cross a road and not having much luck in doing so. Speedy isn't equipped to dodge speeding SUV's and Semis and his one defensive mechanism isn't suitable for the highway. I stumbled upon him on my way back from Topeka today on Highway 24 and rescued him from his near death.

Speedy is a Turtle and he will be staying with us until Friday when we take him to Shawnee Mission Park.

Interesting Speedy Tidbits
1. He is mean
2. He is actually pretty fast
3. He managed to climb out of the paper bag I had him in before I got home and was about to climb out of my trunk.
4. Bridget jumped up on the back of the sofa when I let him loose on the living room floor.
