On occasion we take myrtle out in the back yard and let it roam. Well I guess Makenna did this yesterday and then forgot to check on it. It has made a few burrows in our yard, but nothing too deep that we can't see it. Well I got a text yesterday while I was at work informing me they lost the turtle and had been searching all day long and can't find it. I was just sick. I even left work an hour early because I wanted to help before it got too dark. Well we searched and searched and couldn't find myrtle. For some reason she likes the pool area. She will literally pace back and forth along the fence line until she finds a spot where she can slip through. This is the last place that makenna saw it.
So after many prayers and sleeping on it, we all once again started our search. Still no myrtle to be found. My prayer actually was that it wouldn't somehow fall in to the pool and drown. She can float, but I don't think that it could keep its head up all night. So I was thankful I didn't find it in the pool. You can see by the pictures that it is really good at hiding and so I keep hoping it will show up. I feel sick about it and now makenna isn't wanting to leave town until it is found. So for now I am hoping and praying myrtle shows up so we can feel happy and complete over our vacation!
