[Maggie Cummings]

In her pen? I am laughing pretty good here...I am happy for you...

 

[jdawn]

What a wonderful find! I am sooo so happy for you too

 

[terracolson]

Yes Maggie in her pen. Whats worse, is i stood beside her every day! I think she dug way under the plant and today she came out! I looked at my plant there and how it was in the ground all ****-eyed. So i think that i could not have found her before, i know i looked there!
And today there is all kinds of fresh dirt around the spot.

I am glad she stressed me out. Makes me have that Love you feeling all over again!

I could have written your post! In fact I thought it was mine at first!
My 3-toed Inapa "ran away" in February out of his pen, into our lawn and I thought he made it into the neighborhood from a hole in our fence.
Anyway, like you, we looked EVERYWHERE in his pen and our lawn! Then last weekend I happened to glance into a corner of our lawn under some brush, and there he was, fine as paint. All that worrying and he was there the whole time, probably dug deep and hibernated. I know I wanted to spank him too! I spent the last 2.5 months feelling horrible that he was gone, plus he's got a mis-shapen beak and has a really hard time eating on his own so I feared the worst. (He really did get loose last year, a neighbor 3 houses up just happened to look down at the right moment and saw him and called me.We fixed his pen since then so he can't escape.)


Previous to allthat, when he WAS in his pen and I'd try to make sure he was ok every night before turning in, I'd look for EVER trying to find him, just like yours. Then I'd see him peering up at me right next to my foot or something. Makes you feel like an idiot.

I am so happy for you!!!! I know how you feel! the relief the feeling or anger, then the happiness and more happiness. I think they both went way far in and came out and then we found them.

Sorry, i dont proof read, bad habit.

I tapped her shell and she squirmed. She told me some very naughty words and dug down a bit more. I felt mean vibes. Its only 55 outside!

Both times were due to stormy weather that blew his gate open to the rest of the yard, but we've fixed that!
