it was years ago when the......
..
hubby got out to pick up the turtle, but i remember is so well. i could see him in the rear view mirror.... he got behind it (it was large/heavy) and he picked it up by the sides of its shell. he said is smelled horrible... then i saw its head, like you say, whip back over the shell and nearly get his hand.
he dropped that thing and ran! haha, omg, i still remember it!
i will have to ask him but i believe it later got hit because i thought we saw it on our way back, smashed in the road, but that may be another animal situation i am thinking of. so, after this post, im going to ask him.
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN....
