Good Lord! Not Again!

It was very thoughtful of you to render some aid to a poor little froggy in need of some assistance.

On occasion when I'm out driving in rural areas on rainy days, I see tons of these little frogs hopping their way across the road at a snails' pace, and then it becomes time for another round of: "Little Froggy Obstacle Course!! I'm guessing most wouldn't pay them much mind if even noticing them at all, but I do make a valiant effort to minimize the casualties as much as possible. I don't even know if they're frogs. They could be toads, but they're too small to tell – just little hoppy things.

And one time on this mostly deserted back-country road I happened upon this HUGE snapping turtle right in the middle. It had to be like a hundred degrees that day. I figured I would just get out and see if I could lend them a hand(or at least a finger as it turned out). I noticed a small watery area almost in the direction they were heading, but not quite, so figured I would just put them where the water is (yeah right, easier said than done!!). This thing was like the size of a large watermelon and built like a tank, and every time I attempted to move it, it would turn around a bit like it was going to make me wish I'd stayed in the car and went about my way. It was very difficult to even move it at all without it muscling out and turning towards me, so I just decided to call it quits while I still had all my fingers. I made an effort, but it just seemed too risky, and my heartrate was definitely fluctuating at times.

At least you stopped!
Was told yrs ago you grab a snapper by the tail, but I'm sure there's a "more correct" way since they ARE like tanks & pretty hefty. The funny thing about turtles is, bending is a "issue". Heheheheheh!!!

The Painted Turtle I had was quite the pistol. 
Per normal, as critters are wont to do, if they disagree with you your gonna get peed on.
She was so cute!!
She tried an got her little lecture. OMG!!! You can't bend!!! How did you think that was gonna work??? Hahahahaha!! Nice try! Like a Beardy the stink-eye was epic. 
Put her on my lap & continued "mocking" Awwww did you run out of pee? Totally didn't think this thru did you? 

I can't help it. Adore all critters however their behaviors just crack me up. Appreciate your concern for the Frog Road Block. I'd of been the moron who got run over as I was trying to "sweep" them off the road. Vehicle with Flashers on, mangled human with squished frogs & broom as First Responder's puzzle just exactly wtf? 
(yes my road-kit is weird. broom, scraper, windex,paper towels, disposable gloves, box cutter, electrical tape, zippered cooler. Some Cop is gonna have a field day on a traffic stop!)
