Shelly the Turtle



So here’s a sweet story of a little sick turtle. I will call him Shelly.

So Shelly was sick. Sad Shelly. Shelly decides to swim all around the Florida Keys while sick. Poor Shelly. Eventually, Shelly came to a dock and stuck around. The people at the building near the dock thought it strange that a sea turtle as massive as Shelly (73 pounds) was hanging out around their dock. “Maybe he got lost and will leave soon” they thought.

But this was not to be the case. Shelly stuck around for quite some time, hours, and finally the people from the building near the dock took him inside, found his sickness, and have given him antibiotics.

As it turns out, Shelly swam to the only animal hospital in the world that is licensed solely to treat turtles.

I think that it’s wonderful when things like this happen. Perhaps Shelly didn’t really know where he was going, but I think that perhaps Shelly had a prompting, “instinct” of where to go, and followed it. This prompting brought Shelly to the turtle hospital, and through this who knows what kind of benefits and blessings Shelly is bestowing upon the people who work there. It’s just so neat. I love it.
