Red man's your neighbor
Call it behavior

Anyway, I just felt like my journal needed an update.
I feel a tad down, but I'm not one for drama... so let's stick with the positive, ya?
I realized just how much of a tree-hugger I've become over the years.

I actually look at every shampoo, deodorant, etc. that I buy to make sure it wasn't tested on animals.
I won't buy foods made with palm oils.
I've donated my fair share to animal funds.
It actually makes me feel good. I've made a bigger impact over the last year than countless years prior.

Twenty-Ten is but one hour and one minute away. I honestly don't care. It's merely a number on an artificial calender.

So... I guess I'll hit the zoo tomorrow. Most people will be so hungover that they won't want to be at the zoo.
X3
This gives me a much easier trip!

Love you all!
Ooroo for now!

When I arrived it was "busy"
Apparently, "busy" for the Living Desert is half of "empty" at the San Diego Zoo. Hey, works for me!

The LD has a hospital with almost daily operations, checkups, etc.
All the rooms are glad, meaning you can watch operations. Sadly nothing was happening today.
I did see an intriguing little Acorn Woodpecker named Dewie. Dewie was born with a deformed beak and cataracts... Never was able to fly...
I took shots, but they didn't come out well.

Anyway, I saw coyotes, wolves, cats, foxes (finally), and more.
Sadly, both the cheetahs and hyenas weren't visible...
In 's own words "We both got boned"

Otherwise, I had fun. Walked the whole place... It's over 2 hours from my house, but I would get a year membership in a HEARTBEAT... In fact I may next month.

The butterflies were the "Ace" in my trip. They're quite beautiful, and having them land on me rocked. I'm so happy with the shot of the butterfly on my hand!


I still have requests for wildebeest, giraffes, lions, and tigers.
To the people that requested them... I did NOT forget... I will get your pictures at the SD Zoo or Wild Animal Park... I wasn't able to obtain good shots otherwise.

I love you all.

I LOVE their motto... "Conservation through preservation and education"
They have... CHEETAHS!
YAY FOR US!
They also have African Wild Dogs.
Of course we have them both at the San Diego Zoo... But maybe there are better photo opportunities here!

They also have Mexican Wolves, Swift Foxes, Bat-Eared Foxes, and Coyotes... ALL welcome additions to my gallery ^^

STRIPED HYENAS! BADASS!

Now... I'm looking for an anthro picture of my OC... I have a few... specifically from :icontharla-sharit:, but I would like to know if anyone else would like to help... If not free, give me your commission prices. Thanks. I just need one more or less for reference.

Lastly, I've received many new watchers recently... I thank you all!
Love you guys ^^

My good friend, is an amazing artist... At 15 years old she blows me away...
She doesn't see it... She is set on the idea that her art isn't that great... We need to make her aware of just how awesome she is!



Dammit, Tamber! You are AMAZING!

EVERYONE GO TO HER PAGE AND TELL HER HOW AWESOME SHE IS!

I can get a connection at my grandmother's house
