I caught a glimpse of this guy on the news last night and again today on my way to work — he’s an alligator snapping turtle and the newest member of The New England Aquarium’s aquatic family. Seems normal enough, but it’s how he spent his first life that amazed me — Fluffy’s previous owner, who happened to be a drug dealer, used him to guard his stash. When did guns, dogs, and safes go out of style?

Being a father of 4 (2 boys, 2 girls), we’ve seen similar things brought in from the woods for “show and tell” in my house…
“When did guns, dogs, and safes go out of style?”
I know! I mean, what’s a drug lord to do these days to protect his stash?!!
