Life at PrideRock is better than ever and consumes every minute of our spare time. The days seem to fly by and I can’t believe Spring is here which is our favorite time of year. I will hope to be better about “blogging” for all our friends that have wondered what we were up to. All the bulbs I planted last Fall have already started coming up and all the mowing and yard work has begun. There have been sad things and good things happen the last few months.

| Crutches |

We have a friend who was out over the weekend on crutches and we watched in horror and amazement as Jamu, one of our youngest tigers, freaked out at the sight of the crutches. He went wildly running around the pen, until we removed the crutches from his sight. It was very alarming to us so, today we conducted an experiment, I borrowed crutches from my boss and brought them home for Gary to use to see if they were in fact the source of the stress. I sat with Jamu and Kashmir and waited for Gary to appear. I knew exactly when Gary entered the compound as Jamu's ears went flat and he darted into his house. He crept out close to the ground as Gary got closer and started hissing. Gary slowly came up and after lots of chuffing and hissing simultaneously, he saw that the crutches weren't going to hurt him. Gary made his way around to the other side of his pen and Jamu slowly followed him keeping his guard up. Tags: tiger | Jamu | Kashmir | chuffing Hits: 579 | Read more... |

| A hot weekend |

The weekend at PrideRock was very hot (100 plus degrees) on both days, the weekend chores were accomplished notwithstanding the heat. Unfortunately, the hot and dry weather makes it necessary for us to spend a considrable amount of time watering the landscaping at PrideRock. Jammu and Kashmir got their booster shots a little late for their second birthday, but that is done and they didn't even know it! Tags: hot weather | Jamu | Kashmir Hits: 635 | Read more... |
