"COO-COO-CACHOO"


This is my little sea turtle.  I named him CRUSH.  Like the little green sea turtle in Finding Nemo.
He told me all 'bout how they lay thousands of their little eggs on the beach and
when they hatch, they run into the sea ~ if you and me and hoomans leave them alone ~ so
please don't disturb them, or step on their little nests, or shine bright lights on them.
And then CRUSH said, "coo-coo-cachoo, they run into the sea and life starts all over again", isn't that wonderful!


I so loves CRUSH
and all his turtle families.

Mine Mommy lived on the Space Coast of Florida for 23 years.
Green turtles, among many other turtles nest on the beaches
there from early March through late October.

  1. Crush is very cute, June. I enjoyed your information too but I have only seen the turtles on the TV. It must be something to see in person. I read the link too.

  2. Crush is a cutie, Juney, and mom has been to Florida on the beach where she's seen storm fences surrounding turtle nests so the peeps keep their distance. It's amazing!

  3. That's a very cute toy, June! We hope everyone will leave the turtle eggs alone for a great hatching!

  5. Your little turtle is adorable. We are all scared of turtles and run the other way when we see one.

  6. Crush is a cutie, June. Might there be a bit of catnip inside? 🙃

    We have painted turtles and snapping turtles here, though I've missed seeing any this year, haven't been walking in areas where they live. Poaching turtle eggs is a problem here, though, in spite of measures put into place to prevent it. 🐢

  8. Crush is a wonderful friend. I love turtles too.

    Our babies do get on the very top of the cat tree, but mostly they are on the one below the top.

  9. June and Crush hello dear ones.
    Last year at Christmas our daughter and son in law gave us a behind the scenes tour of Pine Knoll Shores aquarium.
    We saw lots of sea turtles that were in their rehab center and all doing so well. Amazing journey they take as wee ones
    Hugs cecilia

  23. When we used to visit Florida each year at the beach, we were very careful of the nests and turned lights out at night so as not to confuse the babies if they happened to hatch while we were there. It's only right to try to protect them.

  24. A while back,I saw a lot of baby snappers trying to get to the nearby creek....they were kind of cute, though as grown up snappers not so much, LOL! We once saw a huge snapper, looked like a dinosaur! We gave it wide berth...and another time we had a snapper trying to get through our fence...so I carefully got it in the garden cart, (and she was NOT happy...), and brought her to the creek behind our home, in the next property. The peeps there were OK with our little bit of trespassing to rescue the out of place snapping turtle.
    Sometimes we see painted turtles on the road, so we will stop and get them to the side they were headed for.
    I like your little sea turtle, Miss June, Crush, that's a sweet name! Let's hope that their eggs will hatch and the younglings will survive their run to the sea!
