The Radio In Your Head
That's what my husband & I call it. Do you find yourself singing a song that's not on the radio or your CDs, etc? It doesn't hit you until later & you wonder why is this song in my head?You remember or are still thinking about a tragedy that happened or a news item, family member, friend, whatever. The words of the song fit the situation perfectly.
Well this afternoon our wonderful Red Eared Slider turtle, Jody somehow scaled a 3' high chicken wire pen outside & he's gone!
My husband & I looked everywhere we could but there's so much long grass here & there, plus he blends in. I'm crushed as I don't know what's happened to him now
I'll be wanting to look everytime I go outside & for some silly reason, hoping I'll suddenly see him slowly ambling by the front windowSorry for my long tale, just that I had been singing 2 different songs this aft, one of them being a 1970's hit "When Will I See You Again?" & realized why.
We've done this for years without realizing situations put songs in our head, maybe you have too but never realized.
I doubt we'll ever find Jody.

Will Jody be able to survive on his own? I never knew that turtles could climb!

Re: The Radio In Your Head
Sorry to hear about your sister BDBoop. So young still.We found out red-eared turtles can climb real good. Oursw are forever trying to get out of their tank. My husband had to get very creative making a lid for the top to prevent the little Houdinis from escaping.
AC - is there any kind of water source around your place? It's possible Jody would head to that.
Don't give up. Keep looking. He'll probably be most active during the day, and sleep at night. Look for moving grass.
If you have neighbours near, ask them to keep their eyes open also.
Keep a bowl of water and some tasty food out. You never know where Jody will turn up.
Good luck.

Re: The Radio In Your Head
Its funny I often wake up singing a song, don't know why and it gets very annoying when I wake up three days on the run singing the same one.I have never thought it might has some meaning, will pay more attention next time.
Sorry to hear about your turtle AutumColour hope you find him soon.
