I sat in the passenger's seat of Mom's sedan, Petunia parked on my lap, her fat butt wiggling as she panted her excitement at being included in our little adventure. I don't know why I decided at the last minute to bring her along, but having her warm weight pressed against me, her snorting joy radiating from her, made me feel better about the two days and nights I was about to spend surrounded by wilderness and enough testosterone to make a sane woman lose her freaking mind.
