My mom and her "GrandTort"

My mom is a turtle/tortoise lover from WAY back and she is just delighted to have a tortoise for a granddaughter. Here she is on the "tort-watching bench" rubbing Beasley's shell. Beasley is stretching up on her back feet to push her back into my mom's hand-she loves to be petted on her shell (and her feet and her head!).
