Box turtles can drown in deep water. They have a really small area they call home, leave him be moving him will put him in danger he won't be in his area. Plus in they are on the protected list here so best leave them be. The dog won't hurt them he's too small. They shut up their shell pretty darn good. 

 

As for the snapping turtle be careful they are nasty. 

We didn't put him in the water, we put him next to the edge of the shoreline, where the little creek runs in.  We had to move him, he can't stay shut up in our yard. He came in under the gate, likely heading that direction. It is about 60 feet to the water.

 

The snapping turtle was every bit of 30 lbs, and cranky. We coaxed him into the garden cart and wheeled him down to the shore.

He probably lives near your yard. I don't know how but we have a 5 that keep finding there way in our yard too.

My flatmate was taken to hospital later yesterday by ambulance. The head District Nurse went out to the house and prevailed on her to go. I've just spoken with her BIL, who says there was concern she would not make it through last night. She's apparently quite a bad way.  It is unlikely that whatever else happens, she won't be able to return to her present situation.  It's al pretty grim.

Man. She was discharged to home Thursday last.  That's one heck of a medical turnaround.  I rang her sister last night for an update, really to find out what Rest Home she'd been shifted to,  and once off the phone, I rang Herself. Some antibiotic treatment she had to have has left her likely quite a lot deafer than she was. I had to bellow down the phone to make her hear me, and once she could, she carried on a perfectly normal conversation, if at volume.  Her home help had been restored, twice a day and her dog comes back from boarding today. I am really shocked she is still among us, never mind home.  It's a testament to her stubbornness, and strength of sheer willpower. And bloodymindedness.

The fooks are wreaking havoc on the neighborhood. There must have been a dozen electrical fires today. All from overloading the wires in a house not designed for 15 air conditioners, and running illegal wiring. 

I was just telling the wife that this was inevitable last week. 

Today's fires caused a blackout in some areas of the hood...
