In case you missed National Watermelon Day on August 3rd, the animals at the Oregon Zoo can give us some tips on how to best eat this summer snack. Since I can’t figure out if this is our third or fourth heat wave, why count anyway, thought it might be a nice treat to enjoy.
The mongoose, bats, lions and elephants have excellent snacking techniques, but the bear has this watermelon scarfing treat time down.
Have a great, safe, cool, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
With the end of another heat wave today, it’s time to celebrate! Before the next one arrives. August may be dog days, but I’m sure cats, parakeets and us people are having hot days right now too.
So lather on the sunscreen, relax, hydrate and pace yourselves. Live like a dog!
Have a great, safe, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
Lucky for me, our annual beach trip coincided with the spike in the heat wave last weekend. Fog and drizzle never felt so good! But we did have glorious sun in the morning, then when the valley heated up, the fog came in. Best of both worlds.
Today is a nice cloudy day so I can get some work done outside. But the heat is coming back, so take some tips from our black bear, Takoda, at the Oregon Zoo. He figured out how to beat the heat; bear bathing!
Have a great, safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
We’re dealing with a heat wave here in Oregon, much like everywhere else. So what do our girl elephants do at the Oregon Zoo? They hit the pool! Nothing like getting the beach towels out and having a great day in the water.
Stay cool everybody and Happy Quirky Friday!
Practice water safety!
No, it’s not a new Disney ice rink show. It’s how our furry sea otters at the Oregon Zoo kept cool during our heat wave last weekend. Too cute for words! They even chew on the ice. Eddie, Juno and Lincoln are no dummies; ice in their kiddie pools.
Here’s hoping those ice making machines are ready for the next heat wave coming Sunday. Crank up those machines to keep our fine furry friends comfortable.
Everybody else do the same!
Have a great, safe, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
It’s been a lazy summer week, so I’ve been lazy. Think I’m still basking in the glow of finally getting the new web site up. It’s not done, but that hurdle is over. We all need to celebrate our successes.
I think that is exactly what baby Mountain Goat Parkour at the Oregon Zoo is doing. She’s learned how to climb and she keeps practicing. Mountain Goat cross training, for real.
Wish I had her energy!
Have a great safe, weekend and stay cool! Happy Quirky Friday!
