More Bob Flood 2011

[Maggie Cummings]

Most of you will remember the Bob Flood of 2011. It happened in August as I left the sprinkler on in Bob's pen and because I didn't feel well I went and sat on the couch for a bit and woke up 4 hours later! Can you believe it?! So anyhow, as always the first thing I do is to go check on Bob. Well, I couldn't see him or the sprinkler and the grass was dry, so I immediately got a queasy feeling and I followed the hose along into the shed. Bob had gotten caught on the hose and drug the sprinkler into his shed where it looked like it sat for most of those 4 hours! It was on full blast and the shed had about 5 inches of water in it...

and my foot...

So I made a claim on my Homeowner's insurance and they paid me in 24 hours. The agent called and said that he evidently hadn't read the claim correctly because it said flood caused by a 100 pound tortoise??? I said yep and he came the next day and looked at Bob and gave me the check right then. So my guy came out and started to put in a new floor and insulation.

I just don't know why people are so amazed at a 100 pound tortoise. Well anyhow, Bob was relaxing in his pool the day Ed came and started stripping out his sleeping box and Queenie's tort table...

Bob's sleeping box...

Bob got pretty upset at his box out there in the open so he started going in and out of it. Obviously upset...

He was trying to figure out why or how or what's going on here???

Poor Bob, he's been sleeping in that same box for almost 6 years and it's his security...

So I gave him some Rose of Sharon and Hollyhocks to calm him down some...

Ed gave him a lecture on his misbehaving and told Bob to settle down, but of course Bob didn't care what Ed had to say...

So I guess I'll end this for tonight and go close up Bob's shed and make sure he's in bed all tucked in safe and secure. I'll continue this story tomorrow...

Thanks for sharing your Bob photos! We always bring up Bob's shenanigans around here - our Squirt seems to be inspired by Bob. Love hearing his stories!

You're making it very hard on me. I want to get one of these guys, but I know my living arrangements are not conducive for a large tortoise.

Bob is so funny; I will have to live vicariously through you,

Since I can't say I am peeing my pants anymore because everyone thinks Angela and I have a peeing problem, I found a new way to express my enjoyment!

So you're taking away my peeing pleasure??? Hmmm?

I like how Bob is looking up at Ed like he could tell Ed was giving him a lecture. That's the best picture...

BOb! Don't sass Ed. He's the one fixing your shed...

I remember Bob's last flood, not long after I joined the site.
Love these pictures - especially the lecture one and the last one, that looks like it should be appearing at the end of a cartoon about Bob's escapades with a "That's All, Folks!" over it.

I have a question, does bob act territorial when strangers walk around his yard?

 

[cemmons12]

Love the pic with Bob and Ed, looked like Bob was giving Ed a piece of his mind! LONG LIVE BOB!! thanks for the great story and pictures! They always make my day.

Nice photos! Bob is has a ton of personality

 

[Yvonne G]

Its funny that everyone loved the Ed/Bob picture. I thought the one where Bob was peeking out the corner of his ceiling was the best one.
