or is it petted
I know none of you care at all, oh but Im so happy!!!!! I went down to look at a University today and its right by Baltimore where the National Aquarium of Baltimore is, and Ive always said if I go to school there, Im going to train the dolphins because well, that's one of my dreams...
and so anyway, after I saw the school I went to the aquarium and I sat down in the very front row at the dolphin show and I was praying that they would choose me to be the volunteer that pets the dolphins and helps feed them and THEY DID!!!! after like 5 mins this cute guy walks up to me and is like, "how would you like to be a part of today's show?" and I was like "oh I'd love that!!" (I think he was laughing at me
)
so then I get these huge rubber boots and they call me up during the show and the girl was like, "can you swim?" and I just kinda laughed to myself...and then I got in the water and I pet this dolphin's stomach, and then another one's fins (he kept turning his head around to look at me), and then I fed the third one a fish...at which point the girl told me to wipe my hands on my pants, which I did of course
and everyone laughed, and she said ?that?s great, now your pants should smell like dead fish for a week!?
it was so amazing though, those animals are so beautiful and intelligent, and so incredibly strong it just amazes me...the way they can jump and land almost silently, in perfect control, and then hold their 500lb bodies out of the water with just their tails...gosh theyre beautiful! And there were three babies too which we saw playing a bit...
So anyway this was my first time meeting some of my favourite animals of all and Im totally psyched about it
plus I got a certificate to remember it by and im a grinning idiot
