I'll never forget when I was pregnant with DD#3 and we were on our way back from town (we lived 30 mins out of town in the middle of no-where), we saw a turtle on the side of the rode. SO we stopped and picked it up. Turns out it had been hit by a car and had a cracked shell. Took it home and put it in the laundry sink then proceeded a put a load of washing on and the poor turtle had a bath in soapy laundry water!

Luckily it didn't cause an infection in the shell and a local vet patched up the shell a few days later.
