omg I love love LOVE manatees!!!! and I 100% agree-I think they're the bulldogs of the sea!!! I totally want to get a blue bully and name him Manny. Funny little story about manatees...I've been a big fan since I was a little girl and went to sea world for the first time and didn't understand why when you adopt a manatee it doesn't mean that you get to take it home and have it live in your in-ground pool!!! (In my defense I was 6 at the time) Looking forward to getting to know you more, thanks for the post
