He was lying under a bush looking a bit guilty. I coaxed him out and I could see he had something quite large in his mouth, but somehow had managed to completey close his mouth over the object - he looked quite hilarious! I said, "Mo, what are you up to now?" and he gently opened his mouth and spit out a large box turtle! I couldn't believe he fit the poor thing in his mouth! The tutle was unharmed but that summer her was just obsessed with turtles and I found him a few more times with turtles (or the same poor one). Never underestimate what a basset can put in his mouth!</P>
