Was Chonkers there?

@skinnylatte @jaykass I went looking today, much sadness to learn that I've missed them, probably forever

When I interned at an aquarium and would clean the sea lion area every morning, there was one particular sea lion that would not want to move until ABSOLUTELY necessary. Her name was Julie, but this tendency to hold her head high and refuse all direction earned her the nickname "Princess". Training included how exactly to push the bucket towards Princess to get her off her rock perch on the stage so that you could clean.
