Our kitty has found a new favorite place. I found this whale vertibra on the beach at Barrow, Alaska back in 1978. We were moving to Dubuque, Iowa and had traveled to Barrow to be with friends before the move. I took this huge bone back to Fairbanks, packed it in plastic and a bunch of rugs in a big box and left it for the movers to take to Iowa. I was told, by someone who will remain nameless, that the meat left on the bone would cause the entire moving van to smell and probably ruin whatever was near it in the packing process.
I was lucky. Nothing happened, the plastic remained intact and no odors escaped.
That bone has moved with us from Alaska, to Iowa, to Arizona, back to Alaska and now, finally, to Texas - still a conversation piece.
