An adventurous tortoise is back home after spending the past nine months exploring Ucluelet.
Fish, the Canadian Princess LodgeB次元官网网址檚 15-year-old office pet, went missing on Sept. 2, 2017, after escaping from an enclosure he had been hanging out in on the LodgeB次元官网网址檚 lawn.
B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 a beloved member of the family. We were really upset when he was gone,B次元官网网址� said the LodgeB次元官网网址檚 Megan Flood. B次元官网网址淲e were offering rewards. We had missing posters all over town. At some point, we gave up hope. We thought he was eaten by eagles so we were expecting to find his shell somewhere.B次元官网网址�
That feeling of hopelessness was replaced with jubilation on Monday as, Flood said, three Windsor Plywood employees spotted the turtle trying to fend off a crow across the street from the Lodge.
B次元官网网址淭hey just so happened to be passing by and they saw the tortoise crossing the street, and a crow was trying to eat him. So, they saved the tortoise and brought him across the street,B次元官网网址� Flood said. B次元官网网址淥ne of the guys came over here and asked if we were missing a turtle. So, I went outside and I started to freak out. I was like, B次元官网网址楾hereB次元官网网址檚 no way it can be Fish.B次元官网网址� I got a little teary eyed because weB次元官网网址檝e been missing the guy.B次元官网网址�
She said, despite the little animal being covered in cobwebs, she recognized Fish immediately thanks to his unique markings.
B次元官网网址淲e were hysterical when he came back. I was taking pictures and sending them all to the family members. The owners came over straight away and they were ecstatic,B次元官网网址� she said.
Fish is a vegetarian who feasts primarily on blueberries and lettuce. Flood said he looked like heB次元官网网址檇 eaten well during his time away.
B次元官网网址淸ThereB次元官网网址檚] lots of leafy greens around Ukee, so heB次元官网网址檚 pretty happy,B次元官网网址� she said.
This was not FishB次元官网网址檚 first time on the lam, as the wily creature once wandered off for two years before being found.
B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 a little escape artist, but we love him,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淪ome people have office dogs, we have a tortoiseB次元官网网址eB次元官网网址檚 easy to take care of and heB次元官网网址檚 an all around nice guy.B次元官网网址�
