Well, look who we found!

Brian was driving home from his morning church meetings when he came across this in the street...

We all thought it was the extinct desert tortoise and immediately called the hotline to find out what we should do with it. They had Brian describe it, and we found out it was a Russian tortoise, a female (so we changed her name from Max to Maxine) more commonly found pets. Brian was told to give it lettuce and water and put it in a box and look for the owner. Signs were made and put up on the community mailboxes. Days went by and no one called looking for their pet so Brian decided to build a burrow for her. Although the kids called her Maxine, dad calls her "turd" for 2 reasons. 1- when he found her in the street she must of scared because she pooed, and 2- she ate dad's watermelon plants that were just starting to blossom! Oh turd, uh I mean Maxine! She is our second pet to date. Although we haven't seen her for a while...
