Just a little something about the owner of Tanker!

I thought it would be nice if I said a little about myself. I am Beckie, Im 22 yrs old. I live in New York with my boyfriend He surprised me with Tanker one night. Here's the story: I always go to petsmart to see the animals, one day I went and saw that they has a Russian tort. He never came out of his house but I knew I wanted to save him from the crappy glass house. Everyday after that, I would go to talk to him, I never saw him but I already loved him. everyday I would cry to my boyfriend that I wanted to save him. My boyfriend would just say nicely, Babe we don't have the money. Then one day I was talking to my boyfriend and he didn't sound like he was at work like he was supposed to be. He came home early that day and opened the door and all i saw was a box that said petsmart on it. I balled and gave him such a big hug. I opened the box to see the cutest tort ever. Then I started to worry about things like housing, lights, food all of that impportant stuff that i researched. My boyfriend led me to the other room and there was everything Tanker needed. I was blown away. Tanker is my bestfriend, and he is one of the reasons why I want to become a veterinarian.

Aww that's very sweet.
Keep your grades very high. It's easier to get into medical school than veterinarian school.

That is so touching! What a great boyfriend. It is amazing how we can connect to another creature like a tortoise!
