A friend of mine told me a story today that I can’t help but pass on to you here, especially since it ultimately begs a question that I honestly never expected to encounter in my lifetime. To wit: How do you kill a turtle?

Let’s call my friend…Bob. Early in Bob’s first marriage, he and his wife had a happy little household with a couple of kids and a small menagerie – dogs, cats, perhaps a bird or two….and a turtle. Well, one day while the family was out, one of the dogs took an interest in the turtle – or maybe it would be fairer to say the dog became convinced that he and the turtle were mortal enemies.
