Shelly the Snail

There's this little forest near my parents' house where Jordan always goes for walks with Jimmy when we are visiting them...on this way he found somebody, all alone, in the very dangerous spot in the middle of this path so that any biker could just run over it...
It was this snail, we call it a "Weinbergschnecke", what means snail from a vineyard. This is the kind some people eat! They can be big and so was this one...
Jordan took it to our place (I had to take a deep breath when I saw him having it in the car), but he said that he only wanted to take pictures because they don't have those in Utah!
He called her "Shelly" and took these nice pictures of her. We put her on the balcony and gave her some apple to eat (we really love all kinds of animals). Later we took her to my parents' yard where at the moment she maybe already eats my Mom's flowers...
