Joke of the Day

Hello, Aunt Jackie??

Hello, Aunt Jackie...are you there? I have called you four times and you never once said Hi Bandit. I think it is really rude of you not to call me back.... Hello, hello, snort, snort, is anyone there??? Chocolate?Elvis?

Spring Break

While I was snoozing the last few months, I forgot to add this picture I took when Jackie and the kids were down. I had a great time visiting with them and eating lunch at Queen Anne's Revenge on Daniel Island.

The Trough for the Piggies...

The husband of one of our volunteers designed
and created this bottle holder for the babies. They really got the hang of it and it sure has been a time saver. The large raccoon (Maggie May) is the mascot of the nursery and loves to join the babies during feeding time...

Annie Bananie Helps the Babies

Anne and I went to the center last week to help with the babies. Janet was trying to go out of town but was unable to because of the amount of babies we have.

Animal Planet Visits Keeper of the Wild

A couple of weeks ago was a huge day at Keeper of the Wild. Animal Planet visited the center and taped the animals and Janet for the day (you already know about the scheduled shows!).

I wanted to share one story. Brian King, our vet, was inside the nursery performing surgery on either a little bunny or raccoon, the lights were set, the film crew was filming, audio was perfect when all of a sudden you heard, "Help Me Mama. Well before you know it, Lester's cage is being taken outside and out of the nursery. What a bird!

Advice From Ms. TV Guide!!!

Ok, it was Monday evening after an exceptionally long day at work (I gave blood for our blood drive and was already in a dangerously weakened state). Anyway, I called mom and dad after work to see how they were doing when mom said "oh, you need to turn your TV to ETV to watch a really sweet story about dogs. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy". I then asked "You know I am very emotional about dogs these days since Max is getting older, are you sure I won't cry?" Mom (a/k/a Lizzy Borden) then replied, "oh no, it really is sweet"!

Ok, the first story is about a German Shepard named "Cracker" who was really beautiful. Well, the long and short of it - Cracker was a war dog who was sent to Viet Nam and paired with a soldier. The soldier talked about their friendship and how they protected each other and formed such a strong bond. Then the story went on about how they were deep in the jungle and were sabotaged (The same feeling I am experiencing right now by you-know-who) and Cracker took a hit and saved the life of the soldier. Even though the medics came, Cracker had to be put down in the field. Then they switch to a live interview with the soldier and he is holding the leash, which is frayed because of the shrapnel, and his little lip is quivering while he was talking about his dog. He also had to take some time to compose himself to tell the story. Meanwhile, I am now drinking my 8th glass of water today to replenish the water that I cried out last night. I was sobbing; holding Max and this is in the first 5 minutes of a half hour show. I am NOT going to go into detail about the second story, about the "seizure dog" - that will have to wait for another day. Ooops, I must run, I just looked at my watch and it is time to take my anti-depressant medication which was prescribed to me today. Love you all!
