I'm sooooo sad... my yard guys left my back gate open and let my baby that I got from @CowboyKen got out...

I looked everywhere and even put up lost Tortoise signs in my neighborhood...

Ha! I have no trouble at all from my computer or from my Kindle!!

I have sent Josh an email letting him know how badly this is affecting our members, but he's working on a couple other important problems first. He says he'll get to it as soon as he can.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Go door to door and let all your neighbors know.

I have done that, even had my boys walking and looking in every ones front yard and in their bushes just in case. My neighbors said another neighbors yard guys were out cutting yards as well, I am assuming they might have walked off with her but I have no proof. It has been about a month now and still no signs. I haven't given up hope I just hope if someone did take her they are at least taking care of her properly.

@mike taylor : A while back I was complaining that I needed to buy a new cordless drill and I didn't want to buy the same brand as what I had because it was so heavy and hard for me to handle. You turned me on to the Bosch with the ion battery, and I really love that drill. It's quite a bit lighter than my old drill (can't remember the brand - yellow and black) and works like a champ! So the past few days I've been getting the tort tables that are inside the tortoise sheds ready for winter, and it involved moving and replacing the screws for the lights in the ceiling. When I was finished with the one in the rain forest shed, I just left all my tools out there in the shed because I had one more shed to take care of. The next day I went to bring my tools to the aldabran shed for that tort table and I can't find my drill. I've looked everywhere! In the house and out, in the back yard and the front, in the garage and on the porch - everywhere! No drill. So I called up my friend Amazon Smile and ordered a new one for $99. It comes with two batteries and a charger. So, if and when I ever find my other one, I'll have 4 batteries and an extra charger all for just an additional $99. But, here's why I'm writing this long explanation for you to read: This new drill looks exactly like the old one, batteries, charger and all, but it's SO HEAVY!! I don't have the other one to compare it to, but it just feels so very heavy to me. Have I grown weak in the past few days, or have they changed the drill?

I'm so sorry. This is my biggest worry. Are you absolutely sure it isn't hiding somewhere in your yard?

Last night, when I logged on, there were only 3 members on. Usually at that time of night, there are 20 or so.

My shed now looks like a big cup cake. I never remove the old, wind-torn tarps, I just add the new tarp over the top. This time we are holding it down with plastic chicken wire:

"Why don't you just buy a new shed?" you ask. Well, the tarp lasts a bit over a year and is a whole lot cheaper than a new shed.

Say it’s not so. I’m now waiting for a positive update.

It is so Ken and I'm so messed up about her too. I have never been attached to any animal..
But Cheech, that was my baby. I cried when I couldn't find her... and I'm a big ol hardcore man..

And i broke my phone with all my pics of her. She grew quite a bit from the second pic you posted.
But her being stolen/ran away really hurt. [emoji20]
