Our 1st Work day with the lions!

Ok...so excuse me if I seem short sometimes as I'm doing this on my blackberry n it's not that easy. I pd for toggle to laptop, but they forgot to tell me it didn't work in gsm (?) mode.
Today...8:00am, (SA time)had breakfast n went straight 2 work cleaning out the lions pens, then off to get rid of the goodies we collected, old poo n bones n such, to the bone yard. This is still on the property as the property is approx. 800 acres, n is a hugh hole in which they dump everything n burn it. While some of us do this, the rangers n some others play bone baseball. It was a hoot! Can't wait to sho you pic's! Then we collected sand, Then off to fetch dead cows 4 the lions. These were at other farms around the area. We brought them back to Ukutula, (the place where I m) n came to lunch, late, needless to say, I now get what they mean you have to eat when u can around here.
After lunch, straight off to feed the teenage lions n the bigger ones. WHEW! We were exhausted. I then played with the baby bengal tigers. Yes, they tore me up, but, I survived. They are much rougher than the lions They let go after that so off to regroup n take a much needed nap. Thank God I woke up in time for dinner. WE have a food plan though as we are going to get a ride out of the bush sometime soon, go to town, n get supplies to keep in our room for just such an emergency. We do understand why everyone is so skinny now! Hey, I could always stand to loose a few lbs so I'll survive.

Lion Cubs!

I can't begin to explain the feeling of being with these baby lions and cheetahs.
This is truly one of the most fascinating moments of my life! Even with the lil' babies attacking you, you can't help but to love them. Tomorrow we work with the rangers. There were 3 new cubs born between yesterday and today, 2 brown cubs and 1 white one. Another surprise was the delivery of 2 7 week old bengal tigers! I must sat they're a lil' more rough than the lions though.
