Even though we really liked having Phelps around, we knew that he would be much happier if we freed him in a safe place than living in a cooler in our laundry room. Besides, he kind of stunk! So we took him to an empty lot in our neighborhood, actually the lot where our very good friends the Vorreiters hope to live soon (we hope they'll live there too)!
Bye Phelps, it was fun while it lasted! If you think that we're a little too excited about a box turtle, you have to understand that Mommy's family has a long history of rescuing turtles from the road and usually had a least one turtle around when she was growing up. I guess you could say she had fun reliving a little piece of her childhood. So, I'm sure Phelps won't be the last turtle you see on this blog!
