Wow! Great to see a happy ending!

yayyy!!! wow, this is so cool! imagine...a TURTLE finding his way back home. ya know, i wonder if he's been close all this time and just decided to stop playing his little game and show himself. LOL

every so often, i would wonder what happened to the little guy. very nice to hear he's back where he belongs. :)

Cool!! I wondered if you would have or had found him. Thanks for reporting back!! Congrats

Glad he's back. I love turtles.

Your post just made my day! I'm smiling ear to ear now. Thanks for coming back to share that. So happy for you!

What wonderful news!! Ours ran away 7 years ago and I still look for him whenever I am outside.

Big smiles here, too! Hooray!

I am SO happy to hear your turtle has been found and is home unscathed! Such wonderful news! Thank you for posting this followup!

Delightful! Can I ask a 'stupid ' question? How do you know that it's your turtle? What is it that makes your little guy different from the rest?

What great news! :)

Awesome!

So great that he came back!!!!

We have a turtle that visits. Every summer, a couple time each year - for the past few years, he (?) shows up at our garage door. Hangs around for a day or so - then disappears till the next time. I'm assuming it's the same one.....

Not being a turtle expert myself, I often wonder why he comes. The closest water source (small creek) is about a mile away. Don't they usually keep closer to the water?

Thanks everyone for sharing in my joy!

To Rhizo. When I got him from the pet store, a kid had dropped him a few days before and he has a scrape and a bit missing from his shell. Also I live in the high desert so there won't be very many box turtles wandering around :-)

To kitasmommie: there must be something at your house that he likes; do you have flowers or something near the garage? Your yard must be in the boundaries of its territory and something draws it to your yard the same time every year.

So happy for both of you!

Thanks, noto!

I remember when you posted about your lost turtle. I'm so glad he's back - that's unbelievable!

yea!
