I'm having trouble fitting through the door because I'm tall and thin, I don't fit. My butt is so thick that it hurts when I sit on the benches. Please, can you put some cushions there? 👉🏻👈🏻 Also, some people think I'm an animal and want to take pictures with me. I tell them not to call me an animal when I'm with the animals here. The animals get upset and wonder how they can be in the same category as me.
