My grandmother adopted a turtle that lived in her back yard. it soon came into the house to eat from other pet dishes. The dogs "allowed" this since they could not seem to intimidate or move her (Her name was Gladys) she lived there for years. Then simply wandered away after laying eggs in the back yard.

@LeeFromVT Gladys sounds adorable!
