  • All is wonderful in Willow's World!


    So as usual things are fabulous at the zoo. Always some critter in need of attention! We have a new Lama named Mell. I'll have pics tomorrow. We are waiting for a new Marmoset monkey to come join our current Marmoset who spent his whole life in a lab and doesn't know how to be a real monkey. We are hoping the new monkey will help him to relax and maybe even go out side.


    The female Timber wolf has made a show of claiming me as the "dormant bitch" it's really very sweet but I'm still not going in the cage! I find that every day they are doing wild tricks trying to get my attention while I'm in the big cat cages. yipping and howling jumping and barking. They really act like over grown German Shepard.


    For the first time today Robin decided he would use me as a tree while I was trying to feed him. so I spent half an hour hand feeding a Raccoon.


    The kids "baby goats" let me pick them up today and brush them. I think I might buy one from the zoo to have here at my home zoo. speaking of which here are the new additions to the home zoo. Introducing Patches and the un-named Kitty.


      





    Patches is a pit bull mix about 6 months old. The un-named Kitty is about 3 weeks weighing in at 1 and 1/3 pounds. Both are up for adoption. If you would like to adopt an animal I have many more up for adoption. I will put up a link to the adoption page soon.


    Dodge city days is going on right now so I have to deal with a lot of drunk widgets harassing my animals at the zoo. I can't wait till it's over! 10 day's of a drunken party going on just outside the zoo in Wright park. Should prove for some interesting moments like when I found a guy trying to feed a peacock a snickers bar today. LOL



    Anyway that's about all from me today!  had to add that!

  • Today was a good day. I didn't get any good pics at the zoo today, but I did get to pet the mountain lion. I'm having a blast and everything is going great. I did get a pic of the garden. Doesn't look like much but it's producing like crazy.

  • Today was a good day!


    I got to go inside the cage with the tiger. I got to pet the bob cat and the bears. All for the first time. It was great being in the same room with 200 pounds of pussykat. Her name is Elvira, she was a bit cranky this morning but was much happier after we cleaned all the bear hair out of her pond. I don't think she likes her next door neibhours. I'll write more tomorrow. Have a great night ya'll.

  • Well eveyone Thanks to the help of my sweet sister Ivy I have my premium xanga back!!!!!Thank you Ivy!!


    The Timber Wolves made my day! I went out to give them water and they where rubbing against the fence. I put my hand to the fence and they rubbed harder. I put one finger in thinking that wouldn't be too much of a loss, if one of them wanted a snack.... Still they rubbed harder. So me being me I said what the heck it's just one hand and I put it through the fence. They are so sweet they let me pet them after a bit of licking (hope that wasn't a taste test). I will still give them the respect they deserve but I will give them attention when they want it. I'm still not brave enough to go in side the fence, Yet.



     


    they are so prity!!!! They where acting like they where over grown German shepards. I will never forget this!


      In other areas of the Zoo things where just as wonderful!!!! Squeaker the monkey took grapes from my hand and held my finger. He is very small and it felt like a baby hold my finger. He is a lonely monkey because he is very old and he's brothers are dead now. So I give him special attention. He does have a white rabbit in with him and they play together some.


     


     


    Then their is Robin the Racoon. He is a little stinker. He was acting like the Racoon from the Disney flick Pocahontas. Praying with his little hands for another treat. grabbing my at my pouch of treats while I was cleaning his  house. I never knew that Racoon's wash there food before they eat it. or at least this guy does. but he's a sweaty too.


     



     


    From the garden witch I do not have pics of yet... I have squash out my ears, corn gone wild, and tomato's galore. The peas are growing strong as are the green beans. sage, German thyme, Okra, Calamander, sun flowers and special Peas . I've got more than I can eat but the animals at the zoo love the extra treats. Well that's all from Willows world today, Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow.


     Live and love like there is no tomorrow!

  • Okay so everyone can see I was playing with the cutsie quiz's yesterday... So today I started work at the Wright park zoo. I will mainly be training birds of prey, but I also get to play with all the other animals! I will have to find the money to get xanga premium back so I can share all the cool pics but for now my profile pic is of one of the two Timber wolfs we have. Isn't she pritty! Already I can tell this is going to be so much fun! The staff there is very laid back and we get to interact with all the animals tho some are tempermental and must be paid proper repect for being superior preditors.Like the Bangel Tiger, the Bears, and the Timber wolves to name a few. Like any zoo that is open to the public there are some problems with people feeding the animals and throwing trash in there cages so cleaning is always ongoing, but I do not mind cleaning up after the animals it's Humans that make the bigest messes. On another note I was watching some TV the other day when the news show Prime time came on. Now we all know we are on the verge of a major exstiction but to here that said on TV is rather frightening. I mean why tell all those cattel shopping at the mall they are going to be killed? Does the goverment think that by playing this tune they will avoid panic when the S*** hits the fan? I think not! Anyway thats all today I'm off to cook dinner!

  • Hello All


    Well I wantd to let all you Fathers know that anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Daddy! For all you Daddy's out ther Happy Fathers day!


    I had a great time at the concert it was a blast. I was surprised to know when I took Allen (my oldest son) to get the bands autograph that the band guy's remembered me. So I had to endure Danny (the lead singer) telling Allen about some of the crazy stuff I used to do...... My how our wild past comes back to haunt us when we have children.


    After the concert I went to see my awsome sister Ivy. I needed to have some time to think over a bomb shell one of my friends droped on me. Now I have been able to clearly state what my problem with him was and why he had to deal with me the way I am cause I refuse to change who I am and what I stand for. He took it well and admited the problem was with him not with me. I mean realy how can a friend be gealous over you spending time with other friends while they are at work I mean realy! He was also upset that I see people with tattos and i coment to them about there ink and give them my phone number. He forgot that I am a tat artist and the only way I get buissness is to give out my phone number. He seems to think I am atracted to loosers and that is why I was giveing these people my number. Talk about stupid!


    anyway that is all that is going on it willows world aside from the big bar-b-q I am throwing for my Daddy. So I am off to cook Ya'll have a greal day!
