Introduction

So I decided to start a blog about the daily happenings in my life. There were many reasons for this. Some including keeping in touch with friends and family and just a place to share. Also as many of you know I am a part time zookeeper and plan on making that my career. When I tell people this they are very interested. No day is ever the same at the zoo, something exciting is always happening. I want to write it all down and maybe write it in a book some day. So here it goes...

The idea all came from Sunday, Dec 27, 2009. That morning we walked into the giraffe barn like any other morning and food something that didn't belong there:a just born baby giraffe! Needless to say the day was not normal. We all ran around getting all the other animals taken care of while keeping a constant eye on the baby to make sure all went well. All did and he is jsut fine today. Once I learn how to post pictures I will. In case anyone wonders giraffes really don't sleep at night. We watched mom and baby for 24 hours and I was there overnight for a while. They get awfully quiet, but just sit there and chew their cud. We are now waiting on baby #2 from the other female giraffe which should happen any day now. However, we are a lil more prepared and will know what to do, but it will still be exciting when it happens. I can't wait til spring when they babies can run around in the giraffe yard together. I have a feeling I will be spending many minutes just watching them this summer.

In other news I am yet again looking for another part time job as the restaurant I work at, Twenty, is supper slow and I am not getting any hours at all. I am sick of filling out applications. UGH!! Other wise all is well. I am healthy and Spooks is just as snuggly and playful as ever.
