RIP, Gertrude

There's a special place for Turtle Heaven for you.
My dear sister Whip was on the scene of the most unfortunate nature this afternoon. A reckless, ignorant, and mean-spirited truck driver purposely ran over a 20-year old snapping turtle --which happened to be pregnant--in the driveway of her office. Under the advice of an animal control officer, she was able to salvage a few of the turtle's eggs and buried them as directed under a few feet of dirt. Mother Nature willing, some of the babies will survive. Thank you, Whip.
