As with many house fires, when it appears that most everything of your family possessions was lost in the fire, there are small miracles that help with the rebuilding process. Late Tuesday afternoon, 6 days after the fire destroyed most of the contents in the Davoust rental home in Durango, the family turtle was found alive! Susie Welch and Tracy Davoust were working on inventory at the Needham Circle home, and they were going through items that Tracy had pulled out of the house. Tracy took off to do errands. Susie was going through items, including the fish and turtle aquarium. She picked up the turtle shell. As she went to move him (her), she was surprised that the turtle was still alive! Amazing, as the tank was bone dry, the fish were dead, but somehow the turtle managed to survive for 6 days without food, water or any help (expect from the turtle angels!). Susie took the turtle home for food, water and a temporary accommodation. While this is a small miracle, it is part of the restoration process. The turtles name? Stephen has declared his name is now Smokey!
