Slowby The Georgeous Tortoise Wonder

(Lake stevens, WA)

I have a wonderful, 15 year old tortoise. She is so silly, always standing on her food when she eats. Sometimes she throws tantrums, like when I give her carrots (she hates carrots) and she will pick them up with her mouth and throw them. It is astounding what an attitude this girl has. She is just like me :)

She also loves to get her chin scratched, though extremely shy around everyone but me. She is quite a fast walker too, often meeting my slow stroll.
She is a beauty as well, having posed for 100's of pictures she helped me build up quite a portfolio. What a great helper. She is my lifetime buddy.
