So after the lovely wildflower walk, and before the food coma from my brilliant idea ("Let's go to Red Lobster, but don't order the same thing we always get") there was a jaunt to Black Pines...

| Cody the chimp, sadly missed.. |
They have a new program to try to keep the animal disturbance down- make one person from each party who's been there before an "ambassador", helping to remind others to obey the rules. I spent a bit of our beginning scolding Laurie for leaning on "keep off" signs and making squirrel noises to monkees.
 |
| "Yeah. I'm not paying attention to her, anyways. You, either." |
 |
| I so want a Patagonian Cavy for a pet. Doubt the complex would approve it... or my old butt could keep up... |
 |
| Lazy day... baby you'n'me, and the honeybees... |
 |
| God...what did I drink last night? |
 |
| Hey... that's a funny looking lion... |
 |
| And those don't look like "male alligator"... |
 |
| "They aren't, you idiot..." |
 |
| "I'm the male alligator, you simpleton..." |
 |
| This guy here actually made New Haven's mayor ban live animals as New Haven Days prizes.. |
 |
| From the radio commercial:"This is about the worst boa in America, the one who posts on the other job sites looking for anyone with a pulse, Let's call him Dave..." |
 |
| "Heh, that was pretty funny for a simpleton!" |
 |
| Laurie poses with Ft Wayne Mayor Tom Henry... |
 |
| I read his sign. "Greater Rhea". I said, "Better than being Dia-Rhea." He made kind of a loud moo at me and walked away. |
Oh, got to let you in on the one thing I didn't photograph, the white Cockatiel. We were having a nice conversation- mostly "hello, hey baby" and the like. Then I said "Whatzup?" He screamed so loud I thought I was going to get fired from being an ambassador... I think he called me an ass once, too...

ReplyDelete---Glad you two got to Black Pines again...always look forward to seeing the trip.
---You could always say that CAVY is a "funny looking dog" and be done with it...
As for keeping up with it. Can you get a saddle?
(or roller skates with that long leash)
---Love the tiger pics.
(they got kitty cats there, too)
That's the kind of "community cat" I would LOVE to have to keep kids quiet and off the property!
(come to think of it, we probably wouldn't HAVE any kids around at all...or "neighbors"...*urp*)
I can work with that.
---The chipmunk can run THAROUGH those cages. What's he doing INSIDE (maybe lunch for "Leo"?)
---They got one HUGE honking gator there!
(Geez!)
---Laurie posing w/ mayor Henry...ROFLMAO!
(now THAT'S entertainment)
---You always know how to bring out the best in those wild critters, don'cha?
Excellent road trip.
Stay safe (and gator-free) up there, brother.
I don't know about the best, but certainly the loudest...
