So there we were this morning doing our beach patrol when all of sudden I saw it - I barked at it and Mom came over to see what it was. She smiled and told me it was a very rare baby blue turtle - otherwise known as "Blueish Plasticus Testudines (that means sea turtle)". Now Florida law says you must not touch or tamper with sea turtles so we left him on the beach and as the tide was coming in - we know he will soon be traveling the ocean waves - we wonder where he will turn up next?
Just as a side note - my foot is now completely healed - woo hoo! I just have to build up some more muscle in my leg and I will be back to galumphing in no time.
Oh seems you found a brandnew species... bet they will name it after you Reillyus Dennytensis beachius or something like that :o)
ReplyDeleteYay for the leg healing up!!!

Wow! What a find! Our Joanna found a yellow one of those on the Lake Ontario beach once. It was in the middle of winter too! We're so glad your foot has finally healed. Hooray!
ReplyDeleteAt first we thought it might be Bella's 'blue rock' that floated down the river. With all this rain, we're sure it's in the ocean by now. But on closer look, it is definitely a turtle. Wonder if it came to the beach to lay eggs...
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy about your foot! Really cool turtle too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat blue turtle is going to make some kid very happy. :)
