Suzi, Zoo Exhibit A

Ladies and Gentlemen you can now see the one and only Suzanne Alvernaz at the zoo! I kid you not folks this rare popular attraction is at the Merced Zoo two days a week. Don’t miss this opportunity to see her in her natural habitat.

Horribly photo manipulation I know. All I had were
Paint and Publisher, & refining was taking too long.
This an altered picture.
In case you missed that...
Seriously though, my little sister is at the zoo. She’s volunteering their part time this summer. She says she’s an “animal janitor.” But I know it hasn't been all stinky, here’s the tidbits I know; she’s fed hissing cockroaches (fun…not), the miniature foxes like to run up the sides of their cage (apparently this can be a startling if you’re not expecting it), and one of the monkey’s broke a hip.

But the best thing so far was when she cemented this blog post. Last night sh was talking to a friend and said, “you can come see me at the zoo!” I’d already been thinking of using that line for this post but when she said it, the tiny thought that might be “mean” evaporated. Of course she instantly started laughing and protesting “that’s not what I mean”, but we all know the truth.


I’m hoping to get some more good stories out of her this summer. If I do I will post them here for your entertainment and enjoyment. If you’re looking for something to do you should pop in and say hi. She’s there  in the afternoon on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

After all it’s not every day you personally know a zoo specimen.
