I’m afraid my adventure that started with my dog alerting me to a tiny one and a half ounce hatchling tortoise mysteriously appearing in my backyard almost 3 years maybe be ending with my little pal Timi just as mysteriously vanishing from my backyard 3 days ago.
I’ve been in contact with a carpenter who is interested in building her outdoor home but we hadn’t got to the building phase yet. I felt at 20 pounds I could give her a little more freedom in my fenced backyard during the warm sunny days, bringing him back in near sunset.
I haven’t given up hope but my dog who can sniff him out in minutes isn’t finding him either.
( The dog is not allowed normally into the yard
when Timi is there).
My immediate neighbors have allowed me to search their yards too.
I put his favorite snack of dandelion flowers out in little piles each evening and those are disappearing.
Please no lectures I am heartbroken as it is. 💔
I was looking forward to posting pics in about a month to see if you all had an opinion on his gender since he or she would be 3 years old around October 1st of this year.
Thanks for listening.
