Do you have a dog?
I lived in another country once - in a time long ago, and far away, but in a place that not much else could get by outside except a turtle. Returning from a visit home to the states, we were advised by exDH that he lost Mr Turtle, who had now grown up, but was very adept at burrowing under the jungle that was our garden. At the time we had 3 Labbies. They weren’t normally search and rescue, but I brought them outside from the air-conditioned house, and asked, “Where’s the turtle?”
The youngest picked up on the game, and found him within 10 minutes. :lol:
You never know. Hope this helps, and you find him soon.
