Crushie the Wonder Turtle

I have a turtle, that I am pretty sure is a girl. She has lived in my backyard for almost 10 years. She is very social. She is friends with my dog. She hibernates in the backyard, and when she "wakes up" knocks on the patio door for food. I have no information on her other than what we know since she has been here. She was found in my mom's backyard in the greenhouse years ago. My mom was afraid one of her dogs would get to her and kill her. So I took her in. I figured I would find her a home, but she seemed happy in my backyard, so we just let her chill. She is now besties with my Bully, Poe.
