Once, there was a little girl in Texas who asked her mother to check under her bed for alligators every night. Some nights, her mom even had to mist the room with a homemade "Alligator Spray" to reassure her that the bedroom was safe.

 

Now that she is all grown up, she celebrates crocs and gators from the safety of Portland, Oregon, where she lives with her family and her greyhound, otherwise known as a house crocodile, due to her long snoot.
