I CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER!! And I love everyone's enthusiasm, thank you AGAIN & AGAIN!!!
First time I've walked the dogs in 5 months and not been preoccupied looking...thinking...and sometimes disturbing thoughts like "maybe the vegetation truck picked her up and squashed her or burned her or...
FOUND! FOUND! FOUND! FOUND! FOUND!
hone call at 11pm last night. "Neighbor" a mile away (and across a major road - Dixie Highway) called to tell me her tenant found a tortoise. This sweet local had been following our neighborhood's "Next Door" postings and recognized LaBella by her photo I...
Good morning, All! I hope everyone in any of the (MANY) storm-affected areas is OK! I just got power last night after several crazy-hot days without. It's actually the NIGHTS that are so hard! But comparatively speaking...nothing to complain about! :)
HOPING the storm (Irma) stirred...
Good morning!
Is it safe to assume you've seen my "Lost Radiated" post and it's not my LaBella...somehow making it all the way to your area in the last couple months?
Thanks,
Patty
Thank you everyone, for continuing to check in. Still no LaBella. I wonder constantly. Beyond bummed. Glad I'm busy. I check back in with different sources...nothing. So many hits here on tortoiseforum.org it's amazing. Still hopeful and needing to post fresh signs...rain and sun and time...
Happy 5th of July, All!
I hope everyone had a happy holiday!
Still no LaBella...rest assured I'll post the moment I find her. I know she's out there...but has someone found her and decided to keep/try to sell, etc? Or is she still wandering, coming out to browse & graze then finding a spot to...
Hiya, turtle/tortoise friends...
NO, nothing yet. Vigilant. Joined "nextdoor.com" for my community of Lake Worth, FL. Immediately I had a few locals contacting me: one guy told me he'd seen a sign at the corner of such-and-such (5 blocks away from me) for a found tortoise. I immediately...
Hello, Concerned Friends!
To clarify - LaBella is my hand-sized 5 year old radiated tortoise - and missing.
BigGirl - I just sent a picture for everyone's enjoyment, not to confuse - is my 25 year old Aldabra.
I immediately reported LaBella stolen to the Lake Worth Police. Have done pet...
Good morning, Pearly...everyone...
No LaBella yet...the bad/strange dreams continue. Animal Care & Control called me and I got excited but they just wanted to confirm some details. Will put up more signs this weekend, some blew down in the crazy storms. I met with a security/surveillance...
You're SO right. I've become complacent. I pray it was my "oversight" and not a theft. How would "Ring" (which I had saved in my Amazon wish list for my front door) cover the entire yard? Researching...thank you for your sharp-yet-kind comments (you could have called me an idiot)... :(
No...
Nothing yet, friendly folks-who-restore-my-faith-in-humanity!
Lots of calls, flyers, texts, networking friends...and Tortoise Forum people!! From coworkers to Crutchfield, all zoos, stores and vets in between.
I'm just trying to breathe, stay positive and turn over ever stone, literally and...
This is LaBella, my 5 year old, captive-hatched, unsexed-but-believing-female radiated tortoise. She has "disappeared" from my yard in Lake Worth, Florida. I've been in my home for 10 years and my yard is escape-proof, tall privacy fence, etc. I've been at this for 25+ years. Sometimes a...
