Zoo World

 so, I should have written some book reviews, but I haven't.  Work is "killing me". I get home and do not want to type a bunch. Thus, I'm giving you some happy filler Friday from our lives.

For Valentine's I adopted a penguin in Ray's name.  Isn't he cute?  The Fort Worth Zoo has a nifty program - for a very reasonable fee, you adopt a penguin. In return, you get a stuffed penguin doll, a certificate, and a really nice picture. See below
See the family resemblance. Admittedly, our Rockhopper is a tad more dapper than Ray. However, so far he's behaving well and is not messy- yes, he lives at the zoo. However, I'm sure he's being fed regularly, gets a good night's sleep, and enjoys his habitat. We'll go visit him in the spring.

Meanwhile, adoption is the way to go to support your local zoo. Check it out and be a part of your community.  Zoos work hard to help wild life, do research, and save animals on this planet.

Happy Friday and weekend......I swear I'll type those book reviews!

    We've adopted animals before although not from the zoo. That's a good idea.

    Cool new addition to your family :)

    We adopted chimps at one of the conservancies in Kenya, I don't know when we can visit next though. But we will get online updates...

    It's a neat way to support conservation.

    Have a great weekend!

    Hi Joanne - yes adopting by distance can prove really helpful. I gave my brother a piece of a vineyard years ago ... sadly it's no longer there! Cheers Hilary

      a vineyard would be cool. Never heard of adopting property.
