As I was walking the dogs yesterday, Diva our smallest dog got stiff and snarled and as I looked I found a huge box turtle in the yard, the thing was 10 inches across. I have not seen a turtle that big except for snapping turtles in my life. This thing was huge, and Diva was not afraid a bit. She wanted to get a hold on this beast, it was all I could do to hold her back. When I went back out later the turtle was gone back to the safty of the woods behind our house.
