SPECIAL ANIMALS (my pets are on family page)

   
Two of the three tiger cubs at Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center. We got to play with these unbelivable cuties and get and give kisses. How wonderful! Gye and I brough friends with us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if they donated money to help the center. (Nov. 2005)   My friend Lisa and I came across a white buffalo near Crested Butte (July '97). I remembered a few years ago, all the to-do about a white buffalo being born and the great spritual significance it had for the American Indians. We were amazed and stopped and took photos. I did some research and found out this was not "the" white buffalo (named Spirit), but was special to us non-the-less.   This is a (poor picture of) the bale eagle who lives near my house in the winter. He flies by my window sometimes. I know where he hangs out and can usually spot him when I try. Magnificant! I'm always on the lookout during the winter months. - Winter '96
         
   
They say it's good luck to be looked in the eye by a white alligator. They are apparently extremely rare. This one, at the New Orleans Aquarium, swam right over when I looked in the tank and stared me down. I saw another white alligator that year in the Denver Zoo too. What luck  - should have played the lottery! - Memorial Day '96   Just some friendly marmots at Rocky Mountain National Park - have no idea when this was.   My brother, David, playing with a lion cub at an animal park in Bandon, Oregon. Boy that cub was strong. It wrapped its paws around my leg and the curator had to come pull him off. Adorable though! - sometime in the mid 80's?
