dream come true

I love animals. If you know me well, you already know that. When Annie and Jeff and family had been here for a year or so, Annie sent me photos of the kids holding a tiger at the tiger zoo. Naturally I wanted to hold one.
That was about 15 years ago or so..
And this past Saturday, my dream came true!
We went to the Sri Racha Tiger Zoo, and paid 150 Baht ($5, more or less) to hold a tiger and get a photo.
Then we paid it again, because I wanted to hold the tiger longer. The adorable four-month-old tiger had huge paws, drank out of a bottle the whole minute and a half that it was on our lap, and there were tons of Thai staff available to help, if needed.
I wanted to keep holding the baby tiger… I know, realistically that’s not an option. But just let me dream!
After the baby tiger experience, I was one of two volunteers at the elephant show. very fun. Let the pictures speak for themselves..

at this point, the tiger-keepers are saying, "get the tiger away from this girl!"
