It’s that time of the year again. Turtles are traveling through our backyard on their way to who knows where. I wonder if they notice a difference, the one I’ve noticed. How much quieter our yard has become over the past two years. Quest and Aspen created a huge commotion whenever they spotted a turtle in their yard. Quest, usually the first to see it, would shriek her head off. This caused her sisters to race over to find out what was going on. While Quest continued to alert the neighborhood, Aspen used her paw to try to bring the turtle closer. To her disappointment and Quest’s, her paws were never long enough. After scoping out the scene, Malibu always walked away, clearly not impressed by turtles. Today, I spotted a turtle and brought Malibu to say “Hello.” She gave it a brief sniff and then turned away from it. At 16, Malibu is still not impressed by turtles.
