I'd finally been trained to clean the cat dens at the Oregon Zoo, got home after a regular day there, took off my shoes at the bottom of the stairs to my apartment (this was before they required clothing changes before you entered or exited the zoo) and saw a clump of tiger fur stuck to the bottom of my shoe....... who comes home with TIGER FUR on their shoes!!!!!! Seriously! I was so ecstatic that I did a happy dance, called my mom, and gushed!
I'd finally made a dream come true. I'd made it! Me!
To this day I don't mind coming home dirty and covered in animal debris. I relish it. It reminds me of where I am and what I've accomplished. It makes me proud of myself.
