This morning we were very excited and happy to see that our turtle " George" was moving around in the patio. He was active again. He stretched out his neck and stared at us.
Last night, we were very worried that he could be sick as it did not eat or move at all. He was not eating any stuff we bought from the pet shop. We have to try how and what to feed him. Beside this,we would buy him a children swimming pool so that he can swim in the water .
This evening when we came home happily with the big plastic swimming pool, we were shocked to see that there were blood strains all over the patio floor and walls. Not knowing what was happening, but it was good to see that "George" was resting peacefully at the corner of the door. It was obvious that "George" could have cut his leg from the bolts to the shuttle doors while he was trying or struggling to find his way out.
Ah Don and I felt very sad to see him injured. We both love him and have strong feeling for this turtle. We really hope that "George" can live with us. However, it is more important that "George" need the freedom ..... so Ah Don opened the yard door ; We stood sadly to see him crawling slowly towards the door; He paused and looked at us.. As soon as he reached the door,he moved faster; then stopped and look at us again.....
We followed George all the way till he went into the bushes. Before he disappeared in the bushes, I saw him turned his head to look at us ..... I know, "George"likes us too. I held my tears to see him go ....... this is the second time that I can't keep a pet.
Below is the Pics of his departure from us for his freedom.

Long live my Soft shell Turtle. We will miss you .... and hope you will come back to our place one day.
