Turtle
I found a very odd creature in the cemetery today. It looked like a log, but didn't move much. I circled it to check it out. Creeping up closer and making wide loops to see what it would do. It didn't do a lot. Katie walked way ahead, but I didn't worry about that, because I was investigating the turtle. I could hear her calling, but I ignored her. The turtle was very odd looking, not like a dog or a cat. It didn't run away. It just sat there, which sometimes the squirrels do as well, but they usually look ready to run. It's hard to tell what this thing was going to do, because it looks like it's part rock and part animal. Katie came back while I was gearing up to make a closer inspection. I looked at her, and I knew she'd be calling me soon, but I went back to what I was doing, moving very carefully forward. When Katie got closer I wanted to show her the turtle too and started to run up closer. She yelled at me, and said the turtle would bite my nose off if I got to close. I don't know about that, it's just been sitting there the whole time and hardly moving at all.
Katie said we were late and made me wear my leash all the way back to the other end of the cemetery. Even past the other dogs. I hate that.
