I was the lucky one to find the neighbor kids' turtle in our backyard yesterday afternoon. I saw a cute turtle over in the dirt and wondered when we had bought such a cute ceramic garden turtle for our flower bed...???...I didn't recall ever buying one. As I walked closer for a better look - FLASHBACKS - as I instantly remembered early last fall seeing our sweet neighbor kids taping up "LOST TURTLE" signs on street signs in the subdivision. I totally remember thinking to myself "good luck, finding someone's pet turtle?! yeah right! When the grass is taller than a turtle...oh my...no way! And if it happened to be crossing the street - they move so slow - it wouldn't have a chance...etc..."
Little did I know, it has been in our flower bed since last September. And - all I will say is now - it looks like a cement/dark ceramic, garden decoration. Oh my...
So - should I tell them we found it - 8 months later?! Or let Sweet Hubby just take care of it and not ever say anything to them?! I'm opting for the second choice...
I don't envy Sweet Hubby's "chore"...he is an animal lover and this will be so hard for him...I'm sure it's solidly stuck in the mud after being covered in snow all winter. Poor guy!! I feel terrible. :(
