Tag: Moog

As unbelievable as it is Moog is back! Our WONDERFUL neighbour Yarrick has just returned her to us. He found her in his lawn. He lives beside the pond and noticed her. He recognized that she wasn't native to the area and called around. It was a long shot but he thought he would try us to see if we knew about a turtle. Thank you Yarrick! It is nice to have Moog home. If only she could talk.

It is now official...Moog is gone. She has been gone almost a week and there is no sign of her. Last Wednesday she was in her pond for the day. I checked on her about six o'clock in the evening and she was fine. When I went back a couple of hours later she was gone. She had left a vague trail to follow by means of a broken catnip stem, and a hole that looks as though she would have laid eggs, but after that it went cold. A Moog hunt went on until 10:30pm or so until there was just no point any more. We have been looking for the last few days but still to no avail. At least we know that her last final days will likely be spent in a pond two houses down with all the trappings of turtle heaven. Moog is a red-eared slider turtle and not native to here, which means that she probably won't make it through the winter. At least her last days will be free and I am sure she will enjoy them. There is an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach about letting a non-native species out into the ecosystem. It wasn't deliberate, honest! We miss Moog terribly and are looking into getting another turtle that needs a home. If anyone out there has one let us know. We love you Moog, have a great life.
