Hey everyone, I hope you’ve all had great snow days. There’s still a good bit of snow outside here that you can come see (we’re open even though schools aren’t–although some of the outside is still closed because of ice), but I have more pictures of the fresh snow that Cassidy took on Saturday. Here’s a video of the drive from the building up to the top of the boardwalk in the fresh and falling snow: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS_Mh2-ubH4[/youtube] That’s Larry andRead more

Cat in a tree, bear on a fence
While Cassidy and I were down at bears yesterday, Yona decided to impress us with her mad climbing skillz. Unfortunately she overestimated her abilities. Fortunately I had a camera in my pocket. There are some great shots of her bear feet, and a few good shots of the edge of my finger. Enjoy! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtMUlyY810c[/youtube]Read more
QuikPost: Friends
Sherry mentioned in her post that she gave Yona a stuffed bear a few days ago. Today while we were in the locker room looking for more uniform shirts, we found an old stuffed horse that I think was an old horse from our Play to Learn exhibit. It was getting in our way, but we thought Yona might like a new friend! It will go in with her tonight. I sat on it for scale: And though we areRead more
Where’s Nimbus?
If you’ve been up through the farmyard before, you’ve probably seen our outside bunny, Nimbus. There have been several posts about her already. This is unsurprising, as she’s the cutest perky-eared bunny on the planet (Bugsy, our other rabbit, is the cutest lop eared or floppy eared bunny). If you’ve been to the farmyard lately, you probably have wondered where she went. Last Saturday when I went into clean Nimbus’ cage, I saw that she was lying in a weirdRead more
Pumpkins!
Around the Animal Department, October’s arrival meant only 1 thing: extra candy on the free table! It meant good things for the animals too, although we definitely don’t give them candy. They get a share in the post-Halloween jackpot in the form of pumpkins. Every year we get generous donations from people who give us their uncarved, unpainted pumpkins so we can give them to the animals. This year we got a very very generous donation and found ourselves overlyRead more
More Out of the Pocket Than in the Pocket of a Keeper: Volume the Third
Fall is in the air at last(ish)! I really enjoy this time of year when everything is cooling down again (although in our case it’s more like colding down and then heating up and then finally, maybe, cooling down a little, for now, if we’re lucky and don’t jinx it. Oops.). Regardless, October is definitely one of my favorite months because it’s such a transition month (my other favorite month is March for the same reason. Have you heard theRead more
