We were near the gate to the back fence when I happened to see something move out of the corner of my eye. Lucy didn't notice it which led me to believe that it was not a squirrel or a bunny since she sees those critters in her sleep! Nope, instead it was this guy:
He was crawling in our neighbors yard and seemed like he was on a mission. Lucy wasn't sure what to think of him and rather than have her attack the turtle, I decided to lock her up in our yard so that I could take a closer look. I have never seen one of these guys out in the wild and I couldn't get over it.
He was not so excited to see me and booked it all the way from the fence line to my neighbors house and then scooted under the AC unit where I assume he was taking in some respite from the hot sun. I'm not sure how long he stayed, but I was sure that I was in the country as this is NOT something you typically see on the streets of New York. Hopefully we will meet again someday soon!
