The girls were romping and running along the trail off leash yesterday when they spied a turtle crossing the path. Of course they rushed to see it and, when they got close, the turtle closed himself up in his shell.
Well, this was just too much for my girls. Maggie was convinced that the turtle had gone UNDER the shell and she was digging and digging under the turtle and then looking to see if it was under there! Then she'd flip it up with her nose and dig, dig, dig more, again convinced the pesky turtle was under there somewhere.
Then they'd pounce on the shell. Susie seemed to know that the turtle was in the shell so she didn't dig. She snooted and nosed the shell, trying her hardest to get that thing out of there. When that didn't work, she decided she'd woo woo the turtle out with a little song. So she barked and woo woo'd at it hoping that would do the trick. Sorry, but I guess the turtle thought, "she's no Maria Callas !"
I laughed and laughed at their antics trying to get that turtle. Some joggers stopped and watched and roared with laughter too at those silly boxer girls! :D
But, I decided that they had traumatized the poor turtle enough so we moved on. But gotta hand it to the old tortoise, he never once budged out of his shell and took it all and didn't give up.
Score: Turtle =1
Boxers =0
