a turtle in ages! When I lived in West Covina, there was a family right across the street that had tortoises. They would come when she called to them and had lettuce for them. We got a turtle from them that we brought with us to Bakersfield.
It burrowed under the patio slab...probably to escape me and the times I backed over the turtle getting out of the garage.
We never got it out and had to leave it there when we moved.
