Zoo
Yesterday, The girls and I visited a small zoo near us called the Popcorn Park Zoo. They are a part of the Associated Humane Society and they do a fantastic job with keeping the zoo very nice and clean. The animals are very happy. Just about all of these animals have been rescued from bad situations. Anyone remember the man from Ohio who was feeding his bears Krispy Kreme doughnuts? There's another bear, BooBoo, who was traded to a car dealer for a used car. I'm not making this stuff up people. Anyone remember the horrific attacks on the birds? (link, link, link). I had written about the attacks on my blog here, here, and even here. I still can't believe the responses from the people that came to these kids defense here. I finally had to close the thread because of threats towards me. I wonder if these kids are still in jail?
Anyway, we had a lovely time. See?

Two of these bears (Ginger and Maryann) were fed Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Sandy was purchased in Florida and brought to NJ , where it is illegal to own a mountain lion.
After dinner, the girls and I hit the pool. We swam and goofed around for an hour. It was a lot of fun! We also discussed sponsoring some of the animals at the zoo. The girls are very interested in helping and I am all for it. Now, it's just hard to figure out which ones they want to sponsor!
Well, I"m off - have to food shop and all that fun fun stuff!

Todd Bridges, Danny Bonaduce and now Boo-boo. Sadder than the average bear.
