Wahoo for the Guzoo

Last weekend, Kara, Scott, Kyle and I got to visit the local Three Hills Zoo. If you have ever visited Three Hills, something you would not expect to find is a zoo, especially one with such a range of animals... Lions, Tigers and Bears, yes they have it all.After playing with the donkeys and Alpaca's in the petting zoo, we went to the guinea pig cage. You wouldn't think those little guys were hard to catch, but they proved to be just that. After Scott caught the King of the Pigs, we had to get a picture of him and his prize.A first for us all i think was holding a skunk... Flower, what a sweety. She was actually really gentle, and pretty cute : )
After we had all had a turn holding Flower, one of the owners of the Guzoo asked us if we would want to go into the cage where they held one of their lions, and a wolf. I think the general concensis when asked this question would be something like "This man must be insane", but the four of us looked at each other with big grins, and couldn't get Flower back into her cage fast enough. Sure a skunk is cool... but it was time for bigger and more life threatening things.


And of course when asked if we would like to have the lion sit on our lap... we couldn't help but say Heck yes!

The whole time spent there was a lot of fun... it is always a great day when you get the opportunity to do something that you have never done before.


+just a little side note; my computer is currently getting fixed, so posts might get a little behind, as this one did.

oh my god, seriously? you really think it's in everyone's best interest for you to be able to HOLD a large wild animal? i have seen lots of pictures taken at guzoo and they are HORRIBLE. i am really astounded that someone would SUPPORT them rather than just be horribly depressed after seeing something like that... monkeys being kept alone? barren cages for intelligent creatures that need enrichment? birds that have cages that are so small they can't even fly? and you say wahoo?

open up your mind, girl!
