Saving Flora and the Sharkarosa Adventure

We had a little excitement on our block this morning. And now we have a stunning green parakeet perched in a cage in our kitchen. Read about Flora on the Dallas Morning News Metro Blog where my husband posted the story.

This after spending the day with all kinds of rescued creatures at Sharkarosa Ranch in North Texas! Anytime with a new creature is thrilling for me. We were able to hold a baby kangaroo, baby African Crested porcupine and baby kinkajou. We played with a Ruffed Lemur, baby camels and a miniature donkey. There were many other animals we were able to view at close range.

Thanks so much to Sara and Scott who made our day! I encourage you to go! It's a great adventure for you and your family.

Aw, I want to see the baby kangaroo! Sounds like a great birthday. Although you're pretty stingy on the pics...

It was a great experience. I wish I had the time and the free hands to hold those baby animals all day!

Glitzen -- it was amazing. One of my dream jobs is to work in the nursery of a zoo or sanctuary!
