The Amazing Epic Love Story of Bass Isles and Jo Friday Rizzoli in 3D
Chapter 4: Given The Choice, I'll Sleep With The Humans
Well thank you for those nice little notes that have been left so far. And Leslie, those are great questions; living arrangements is definitely a topic that we will tell you about. As you have indicated, it can sometimes be a challenge! But, you might have noticed that it's gotten easier lately what with all the time my human spends at Bass' human's place. But I'll answer that more fully in coming chapters.
For right now, I do want to continue the story of how we fell in love.
After that first meeting, after he turtled, I just shrugged and then happily curled up with the humans. See, for the first several years of my life, curling up with humans in a warm comfortable bed was not in the cards. I was always cold and wet and outside. So, though this strange new creature my human kept calling a turtle and Maura kept calling a tortoise was interesting and I was curious, given the choice between sniffing each of Bass' holes (ooo, sorry, that sounded dirty…I meant arm and head holes in his shell) and curling up in a big bed with the humans, the choice was easy.
But, as it turns out, I wouldn't always be welcome in the humans' bed. And also as it turns out, that turned out to be one of the best things that happened to me.
