KITTY

Remember last summer when I showed you the pictures of the zoo? This is the Lion picture I used in my calendar I made for myself. Kitty is the lions name and he died in his sleep the night befor last. Everyone is going to miss this wonderful cat. I guess lions in captivity usually live to around 15, Kitty was 18.... he was getting help in his last days with his kidney failure and they found out he also had cancer.... poor lion. Now they already know we are going to get 2 more young ones to take his place.... can't really take his place so its a good thing that they will be young ones. They were born in a zoo in Madison, Wisconsin ~ funny how things work out isn't it? We also have a baby giraffe somewhere that is growing and waiting for us to make a home for.... I love giraffes and hope they make a good home for it. We have a nice zoo so it will be I'm sure.... Sad though isn't it that animals have to live in a zoo. It's the only way many of us get to see them though and I suppose it has some good points too, just not sure what they are in the animals eyes.
It's a rainy day today so I don't have to feel guilty not planting the rest of my lily bulbs... hope the ground doesn't get so wet now that its hard to work with... Now I have to figure out something else to do... do you think its ok if I just sit around and maybe read my new book? mmmmm I wonder. Maybe Leo will come up with something ~ he won't be going fishing.  We shall see. Hope you are having a good day, Sandra
