Technically his birthday is tomorrow (yep, our lover boy is a Valentine's baby!), but we celebrated today with Leona Lewis personally singing him happy birthday!
Here is the link to the video! http://www.etonline.com/news/119054_Leona_Lewis_Visits_Lion_on_Valentine_s_Day/index.html
But I'm getting ahead of myself! I started off my day with the bobcats, as usual. I kept an extra close eye on Girlfriend today, she was trying harder than usual to knock me over, and Bobo was NOT pleased when I came in to clean his enclosure. He arched his back as high as he possibly could to let me know it!
Cleo and Pepper Belly, on the other hand, could not have cared less that I was in there. Until, of course, I pulled out the treats. Then they pretended I was their favorite person ever!
Achmed was ignoring when I first went in today, not even wanting his treats! But as soon as I turned on the hose he came right up to me, running around trying to chase the water and then hiding against my legs when he had gotten too wet!
Once I was done playing with the bobs I began to prep meat for tonight's dinner, 20 pounds of venison! I cut them into smaller bits and weighed out 4 pounds for each of the lions. I also inserted the medication into certain pieces, since they refuse to take it any other way!
After the fun aspects, I was put in charge of cleaning out the gutter and sweeping up leaves so no more go in it (for a day or two...). After about an hour the wind picked up and you could barely tell I swept. It was worth a try though!
I then went to keep Chewy company because we had people delivering our new medical tables and the noise was making him uneasy. I gave him a few rats and he was content!
Before I left for the day I went to see the feral cats. A lot more have been coming up to the volunteers lately, hopefully they will begin to get adopted out soon!
And as usual, one of our peacocks decided to flatter me as I left!
While I didn't get to work with as many animals today, I did a lot of work which will help give them the best possible lives they can have!
