Anyone who knows me, or has been reading the blog for a while, knows that I have a great passion for red wolves. After breeding season was over, I was sure that our female was pregnant. Being that we (the keepers) like to pick on each other and give one another a hard time about anything possible, I have withstood much teasing and joking from my co-workers… and as always I have appreciated their humor! Despite the fact that mostRead more

QuikPost: Moving right along!
A lot of work has happened on the new building extension for the Animal Department. The structure actually looks like a building now, and that’s always a good sign that construction is on its way to being finished (hopefully). The Exhibits Department is also having space added onto their workshop, but I only got pictures of our rooms.Read more
QuikPost: Video of the wolves howling!

And the strike was so fast that it even made me jump! Warning: If you are squeamish about animals eating other animals, you may not want to watch this video.Read more
Now I know why Christmas was so easy…
Christmas was a breeze, and now I know why- SNOW!!!!!! A bummer for me on my day off to be at the Museum, again, at 5:30 AM. The snow is beautiful, but it makes for quite the day of work. Kimberly and Sarah made it in to work- thank goodness. We’re closed today as it is not safe for guests to be on grounds until we can clear the paths. Yona was playing around in the snow. By the time I got closeRead more
