old yet new

It's late spring/almost summer, so it's to be expected that turtle sightings are beginning. We saw a small one on the road last night en route to church, and today, we realized this not "old hat" to everyone.

Buster pawed it, tossed it, spun it, sniffed it, carried it around, jumped away from it, and then left it in one of his small hiding spots. We were watching him as he later searched for it, to no avail. I think he's a bit baffled as to where his new "toy" went. As huges as this dog is, he reminds me of a cat whenever he finds a new or small item. On the flip side, it's quite entertaining (as long as it's not a mouse). So what do you do when you find a turtle?
