Did anyone see - a few days ago - on one of the three morning shows that a box turtle attacked by a raccoon was rescued by a woman and had "false" feet attached by a vet?

I didn't see it, but haven't seen you in awhile either! lol! How are you doing?

I saw it. It made it's way to Yahoo, and it was one of the most inspirational things I've seen. I believe it happened in California. The vet went to Home Depot and glued two "chair sliders" ( I forget what you call them but they are plastic things you stick on the chair legs tp prevent scratches on floors.) So now the turtle scoots around by using his hind legs to slide in the front. It was very cool!

Here's the link. It's great!
