The Red-eared Slider: a fixture of my youth, growing up in the south. I was astonished, traveling in Asia later in life, to find out that they are terribly invasive.

These are at a little turtle rescue pond associated with the zoo where I live in France. I guess people stop finding them cute at a certain size…

Yeah, I can’t fathom why they would be popular pets. They’re quickly too big for an aquarium, and if it’s for a pond, where on earth would you be where there aren’t native terrapin species?

Here’s Omega Dog today after spending the night in the woods around our little hilltop neighborhood. He’s somewhere between 15 and 17 years old, stone deaf and arthritic, but he’s still got enough dog in him to go walkabout when given the opportunity, like when the kids left the gate open. (Argh!) Some neighbors helped me find him by midday today, covered in ticks (hello, Bravecto), and he’s been parked in this exact spot since. Poor old man!
