Today was wildlife day at Sunset Park in Florissant. Daisy the Crazy Golden Retriever and I were out on a morning stroll a little before 6 a.m., and the entire area was alive with rabbits, squirrels, geese, and one critter we hadn't come across before. We were almost done with our walk when Daisy spotted a turtle sunning himself in the grass. His head was stretched out on his neck as far as it would go, but he quickly withdrew to his shell as the very excited pup raced up to him. He refused to come back out, so I was slowly able to coax Daisy away from him and let him go back about his business. Daisy really wanted to get nose to nose, so I'm glad he wasn't a snapper.
