Well after typing the title I serched the garage one more time and found him. He was behind a trash can that I keep bats and other sports stuff in.
Now let me start at the begining. As you know Trudy has an RI and now I am sure Waldo has it too. I decided to take him out of the garden to give it a turtle break and I thought he would heal better if he was not completly burried all the time. I built him a temperary cinder block enclosure and yesterday morning when I went out to check on him he was gone. I looked everywhere I could, but I have a ton of bushes, ground cover etc....in that area. I also have a rattle snake problem so I have to be careful digging around. As it started cooling off yesterday i turned on the sprinkler and sure enough he came out of a rosemarry bush not 6 feet from where he escaped. If I could find a way to secure this area they would have a fabulous garden, but that would be near imposible
. Last night I decided he should be in the garage in the evening where it stays warm at night so I put him in a kiddy pool and he was fine this morning, but I'll be darned if that crazy turtle did make his way out. He was lost in the garage. I looked and looked and the third time searching every single hiding spot I found him. I am really starting to think boxies just don't like living with me Thank God the Torts love me.
