As I've previously mentioned, we have two shows coming up this summer. One is at Emerson Academy in Dayton and the other is at SICSA Animal Shelter, for their summer camp. This weekend we got a portable kennel that we can take the animals in to show safely. It is a huge cage that is 5X5X6 so a person can stand up in it too!
Now that we have the cage, we can start practicing with the animals. Roseanne, the fox took to it pretty quickly. She was a little nervous, but mostly curious. Our peacock, Mohinder did great, once he calmed down a little. He was able to purch on our arms and sit calmly. Smokey, the raccoon was going crazy for a while. They love shiny things, and the whole cage is shiny steel. She was all over the place!!!!
I can't wait to see how the kids react to the animals. I'm sure they are going to love it! We are really looking forward to the show at the Animal Shelter, since it will be an up-close and hands on experience. We will be bringing the babies that the kids can get up close to and possibly pet. That'll be 2 raccoon babies, and 1 fox baby at that time. I doubt we'll have the skunk yet. We are getting the second raccoon and the fox this coming Saturday. The skunk won't come until June and may be too late for the show.
Things are really happening fast this summer. There is talk of the media being present for the SICSA presentation. And now Donny has an invitation to speak about us on local cable TV. More news on both of those later.
