After more than two months of searching, an Oklahoma woman’s pet tortoise had been found, only about 100 feet from home.
In late August, Cherrie Zaidi put her two African Spur Tortoises, fondly named Phineas and Ferb, outside of their Piedmont, Oklahoma, home, as she usually did. Normally, she would check on them every couple of hours, but got stuck on the phone that morning.
Well, that’s all it took for Ferb to make a break for it and it was only after nine weeks and four days of searching that her husband noticed what he thought was a clump of grass about 100 feet into a field behind their home. That is until it moved in a Ferb-like fashion.
Ferb was back home and taking a bath on Thursday and Cherrie said she is taking extra precautions around her yard to ensure that Phineas or Ferb doesn’t escape again.
