Valentine Treat day this year was very sunny and very cold.
I noted on the information board that two groups of animals would
get their treats at the same time, every half an hour. Oh no!
How would I choose?

The
penguins weren't too happy with their next-to-last spot on the list,
especially since they were up extra early today. Now I had to decide
about where to go for the first session. Jaguars or Lion Cubs? Oh dear.
What to do? I went to the closest.
The
Jaguars

According
to a guide, the jaguars had to be fed one at a time for safety reasons,
shall we say. So there would be no food treats. Instead, they were offered
perfumed paper flowers. Don't laugh (like I did). Jaguars love scent,
and the keepers hoped they'd enjoy their Valentine Treat.

The
first two out of the den discovered flowers and a card for Mom.
|
|
|
|
Oooopsie
- there goes the card. Sowwy, Mom!
|
|
|
|
Hey, did
you guys smell this one? I think it's Chanel Number Five!
|
|
|
The
red one is Obsession - my very favorite! *swoon*
|
|
|
Hey,
wanna trade? Can I smell the purple one? I bet it's J'Adore.
|
|
|
|
Even the
leaves smell yummy! I'm gonna eat this one.
After
spending a frustrating 15 minutes dealing with the glaring sun, a smudgy
window, some awful reflections and a huge crowd, I decided to head over
to the lion area and catch the end of that show.

Lion Cubs and Mom

Oh
hi! I bet you'll never guess what we got for treats this morning.
|
|
|
Heart-shaped
bloodsicles. (The keeper called them that.)
*shiver*
|
|
|
Mine's
pretty tasty. How's yours? Gr-r-r-r-r-eat!!!
|
|
|
|
I know
they mean well but good grief - who gives out icy treats in icy weather?
I
kinda wish it was a Hot Toddy.
Yesssss - we second the motion!
