As if Jen & Greg's place wasn't cool enough, the previous homeowner had left then a large cement enclosure, overgrown with plants—the perfect habitat for their collection of box turtles! My dogs had only seen a turtle once, this year on Easter, while hiking at Shawnee Mission Park with Madeline & Bruce. They were *fascinated*.
Aki, who is only one-quarter of my body weight, suddenly became so strong I could barely contain her! She is a mighty hunter for sure!

Bruce: Which one do you want, Aki?
Aki: Sorry, Bruce. They're ALL MINE. |
The three amigos, looking like excited lil' kids:
She almost bit it's head off. Thank goodness for lightning-fast turtle reflexes!!!
It was time to go, so the happy Shibas piled in the car...
And in merely a few minutes... ZONKED!!!
Somehow they managed to be wide-awake by the time they got home. Jen sent us home with TREATS—GOOD ONES!!!
So entranced he cannot hold up his fat head to make eye contact:
So yeah, all in all, about as good as a doggy day gets. And for me, having all this fun after surviving a Warrior Dash? Priceless!
