July 2 , 2009
What a surprise! I had no idea that the animals would be celebrating the Fourth of July today. A number of them received special treats and I was lucky enough to see a few.

Hey! I see you! Whatcha eating?

 
     
   
     
*mumbling* Ermmm, nothing! Nothing at all!
     
   
     
I see ya! You have got a treat, haven't you! It's...it's...it's a banana! I can smell it!
   

     
   
     
Nah! You're imagining it. *munch...munch...munch*


     
   
     
He's lying! I can see it! Let's go, fellows!


     
   
     
Yeah, what a greedy pig. I'm on my way.
     
   
     
Leaping Lemurs! I'm outta here!

  Meanwhile, over on the Savannah...
 
     
   
     
Okay, this new guy is a real pain in the neck. He follows me everywhere.
 
 
     
   
     
I walk. He walks. I run. He runs. I wonder if he's making fun of me by imitating me?
 
   
     
   
     
And worse than that, he never shuts up! Yadda yadda yadda, day and night. Good grief!

 
     
   
     
'Lookit, pal. Did anyone ever tell you you talk too much?
If you want to be friends then please, shut yer beak once in a while!
 

     
   
     
Me? Talk too much? Well as a matter of fact, yes, I have been told that before.
It was last year...oh wait...maybe it was in January this year. I forget.
No, it was definitely last year. Last summer, I think, at my last Zoo.
The other ostriches used to run away when I appeared. Blah, blah, blah.....
