It’s been wet and windy here in Oregon and the last thing I’ve thought about is taking a dive in the pool. But the folks at the Oregon Zoo thought yesterday was the perfect time to open the new elephant pool!
And guess who is acting like a little submarine? Baby Lily! With the rest of us human creatures running around getting ready for the holidays and trying to finish our to do lists, Lily shows us what is really important; play time!
The Oregon Zoo’s new pachyderm pool is 12 feet deep and 80 feet wide and the water level can be adjusted to be deep enough for big boy Packy or make it shallow for baby Lily. Amazing stuff.
So while we humans are thinking about gray days and rain, the Portland pachyderms are having a blast on the beach at their new swimming hole. Maybe that’s a good lesson for all of us these days. Take time out to play in the puddles.
Know a good place to swim in December?
Hi Kim!
I tried to send you an e-mail last night showing an adorable incredible video of all dressed up dogs & cats sitting at a huge table making toys, etc. for Santa but they have human hands. Very believeable and charming.
It is sponsored by fresh pet, created by alex heigl and the fresh pet store donates food to a homeless dog & cat everytime someone views the video. Hope you can check it out!
Happy Holidays!
Ann
