'Giraffes' Through the Lens - Pics from SDP and WCC: Preparing for Launch

Regrets - I've Had a Few...

Someone on the explore chat suggested I keep a blog of my pictures that I caption. After a huge search, some pilfering, and digging through old files, I've found most of them. Thanks to all the CPs who helped - I learned a lot doing this! The pics were a wonderful archive of fabulous memories of the last six months since I learned to do some photo-shopping and captioning. Some are still missing: I really wish I had the pic of the giraffe peeking into the business meeting in the new G-tent, Dutchie adventures on Puppy Hill and Neal's arrival in the nursery, the antics of the puppies at WCC trying to reach the window in the PEC or heading down to the river for a swim.... I'm hoping some pop up from time to time in the Facebook pages - it seems pics do occasionally resurface with whatever algorithm FB uses. But from now on, I intend to keep adding them to the blog - my own memory book for SDP and WCC.

If, by any chance, you've saved one of my captioned pics to your own files somewhere, could you PM it to me? Thanks!! Enjoy the trip back down memory lane.

Preparing for Launch - the Baby Great Horned Owls, May 2016

As if watching puppy antics isn't enough, the Camera People had an extra treat this spring: two baby Great Horned Owls fledged right onto the top of Puppy Hill. A lot of work didn't get done worldwide as people tuned in to see what the two babies were up to!

Sadly, one of them died - Carlene thinks from being poisoned by food mom caught offsite (no poisons of any kind allowed at SDP). I believe the little guy was buried in the cemetery with our good Mary and beautiful babies, Lumen and Mae.

The other little guy found his wings about a week later. Fly high, Baby Owl!!

We loved watching you grow!!

I have no idea why I associated these guys with Laurel and Hardy.

It just seemed like one was serious and the other a clown.
