STORY 1 -- BABY RESCUED BY GEORGE AND ELVIRA, OUR NEIGHBOR

THIS IS THE STORY OF BABY, A BOX TURTLE THAT WAS RESCUED BY GEORGE AND A NEIGHBOR, ELVIRA.  BABY WAS ABOUT TO BECOME "ROAD KILL" IN THE PARKING LOT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX.  UNSURE IF BABY WAS A PET TURTLE THAT WAS THROWN AWAY OR WANDERED OFF ITS TRACK FROM THE WOODLANDS SURROUNDING THE APARTMENT RESIDENTIAL AREA, WE DECIDED TO KEEP HER FOR A FEW WEEKS TO ENSURE THAT SHE WAS NOT ILL AND NECESSITATE A VET VISIT, OR A PET TURTLE THAT WOULD REQUIRE REHABILITATION BACK INTO THE WILD.  LET ME INFORM YOU THAT THANKS TO THE INTERNET (WORLD'S BIGGEST INFORMATIONAL LIBRARY) WE WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE SOME KNOWLEDGE AS TO HOW BEST TAKE CARE OF BABY AND HER DIETARY NEEDS WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A VET BILL OF HEALTH CLEARANCE AND AN EXPERT IN TURTLES SO THAT BABY CAN RETURN TO HER TRUE NATURAL HABITAT.  IN THE MEANTIME, BABY HAS TAUGHT ME, IN JUST A FEW SHORT DAYS, SO MUCH ABOUT BOX TURTLES.
