One Turtle's Amazing Journey to Good Health .......
I don't know if turtles can communicate with each other, or how smart they are, but one of them took a trip this week that was was pretty stunning. A 73 pound loggehead Sea Turtle developed a bacterial infection - probably soem venereal disease - and he went to get help.
This turtle somehow managed to swim across the Florida Keys, and ended up right on the front door of the Florida Keys Turtle Hospital - the only licensed veterinary hospital that exclusively treats Sea Turtles. His trip was so improbable that the hospital didn't treat him for a few hours because they thought he ended up there accidentally....
Now he's recovering nicely in their tank - and Thank God, they didn't give him some goofy nickname ....But he hasn't gotten the bill yet, either..

Mikey, cooter stew, one of the staples like catfish stew, shrumps and grits, PORK 'cue, hash and rice, slaw and 'nanner puddin (maybe bread and rice puddin too).
Rhino, skip the first two - I'll gladly eat the rest....
