Snapping Turtle Update

I spent most of today foraging for various grubs for my baby boy. My primordial hunting and motherly instincts are slowly coming back to me. I've been digging for earthworms all day, the yard is destroyed. So far I've found two. I tore apart a pile of old patio blocks, like a grizzly bear tearing apart a hillside looking for a woodchuck. At one point I saw a cricket and got so excited that I mashed it into dust with one of the blocks. My girls kept asking me "what are you doing Daddy", which pissed me off even more than I already was. Leonardo, noticing I was preoccupied, booked it out of the back yard and was heading for freedom. Luckily I caught sight of him just as he making his way through the fence. As I ran after him I said to myself, "No one escapes from the Island of Doctor Moreau".
