Ugh Cher One time when we were kids we saw a turtle in the middle of the road. My mom stopped and we all got out to move it to safety. Then POP a big ass truck came by and ran right over it as we were standing there.

Ugh. Last summer there was a turtle in the middle of the road and traffic had stopped to let it cross. This guy in a truck gets out and walked over to it. I assumed he was going to move it. He kicked it super hard and it flew off the road. I was horrified.

Welp, Cher just encountered yet another wayward bird in the wild. It was trapped in a parking garage and had given up on trying to escape after numerous attempts to bash into the window. His poor little birdy friend sat on the other side of the window and just watched him. She earned her stripes today as a Certified Wild Bird Rescuer when she swooped into action, helping guide the bird to freedom!

The other day, I saw these things explode in the middle of the street the other day and I wondered if neighborhood kids left water balloons in the road. Then I realized the car in front of me ran over turtles crossing the road. Haunts me. Well, that's horrifying.

This is true. I just rescued another bird. I FaceTimed Brux while I did it. But look at his friend watching him! I had to help!

How could you just leave it there though!? Looks like your title of 'bird lady' from TCF was a glimpse into your future calling

Once, we were on a family vacation when I was like 7 in Wyoming and my dad saw a turtle in the middle of the road and decided to save him by putting him in a box in the back of our van and then trying to feed him meal worms in our hotel for like 4 days (turtle refused because he actually ate fish, not worms) and then we took him back to California with us and dad built him a pond and we fed him goldfish for many years.
I'm sure my dad broke some kind of capturing wild animals laws in the process, and Lord knows a wild turtle probably wasn't pleased with living in a gated outside "pond" that consisted of a baby pool set into the ground...

Cher for the past 2 nights we've had a baby deer hanging out in our driveway and our neighbor's yards. LMK what time you want me to drop him off at your house now that you rescue animals.

I think Arnold put out word that life is good over at Casa Horowitz and wildlife is flocking there in droves.

Not to be the crazy bird lady, but this guy was so sweet. He was freaking out and flying into the window. Then I wrapped him in the blanket and he just let me.
