Granby and Neka Are Leaving Tomorrow

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 30, 2009, 7:01 AM


It's official. Granby and Neka will be separated and flown to Oregon via FEDEX tomorrow. A veterinarian will accompany them. Here's the official word:

Twin Lions Leaving Zoo.

Neka's new home will be the Portland Zoo and Granby's new home will be the Wildlife Safari in Winston.

I'm sorry I never got to see Neka recently, or Granby for that matter. Though I know folks in Oregon are in for a treat with those two. I'm very grateful for the joy both Granby and Neka have brought to me and to our area and glad to share their growth with all of you.

Bye-bye Granby and Neka.

n.n Just letting you know that Neka arrived safely! She's being introduced to the other female Kya, and then she'll meet the male lion...who's name escapes me right now because it's something exotic and longer than 4 letters....

Cool! Hopefully you'll be able to see him. I know they have a lioness there the same age he is and she looks just like him w/out the mane.^^

Yeah. He may be in quarantine though, most new animals go through 30-60 day periods. *shrugs* I plan to go again in September/August too, so if I don't see him Thursday I may see him next time.

Hi! :wave:

I wrote a journal and a news article about Schleswig-Holstein... and featured one of your pictures in there!
If you like this kind of feature, I'd really appreciate a :+fav: on the article - that would help making your art better known!

Greetings
Malte

I see the darkness behind you.
But don't look back: there is nothing to fear!
Trust me, and we will find the path into a bright future.

Leave the past behind, begin to feel free.
Come on here, to see what I see.
For I am the Truth and the Light!
