Not My Job

Back in 2004, my partner and I visited my family when they still lived in South Florida. While there, we took a guided trip through the Everglades that was half-open bus and half-boat. I’ve been closer to gators back when I lived in Gainesville as a kid, but wow did we get close! There was a gift shop at the end of the tour because of course there was, and sitting in the corner of a stuffed animal display was a stuffed sea turtle. Proceeds from its sale donated to various local rescue orgs so I bought it (though it was hell getting it to fit into my suitcase on the trip home).

Riley and Malley both decided that the sea turtle was a bed and hence, it was dubbed a cat bed. Funny how that happens…
