Hello, folks! Greetings and salutations on another beautiful day above ground. 💖 We almost lost our little turtle today and it was wholly my fault, so I'll tell you about it.

| she looks innocent here but she is much faster than you'd think! |
So, earlier, we had the turtle outside and were talking to some friends who I asked to watch Freedom for just a minute so I could run and fetch something; when I returned, this creature had scuttled off into some nearby tall grass and instantly disappeared on them, so when I got back, we were all looking for the turtle.
There were (my) tears, garden tools were fetched and used, and once I came inside for a hair-tie (due to building heat), Terry found the turtle and told me when I got back outside.
I realized that it was MY fault for not warning my friends about how super-quick the little turtle can and will disappear every time she reaches thick cover like that - it's in her DNA! I'd forgotten about the time I lost her like that, same situation with just me that time: I was walking her, she saw the tall grass and BLOOP! I spent thirty minutes searching for her that time.
So - the PSA is this: when you have a tiny little pet turtle and you take her for a walk, she WILL disappear like Houdini if she's able to get to the tall grass!

I'm so grateful that we found her!
