Got Watermelon?

August 17, 2018 By Kimberly A. Cook 1 Comment

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!

Black Bear Bath Time?

August 3, 2018 By Kimberly A. Cook 2 Comments

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!

It’s Time For Summer Polar Bear Pool Fun!

Seems we are heading for a week of record temperatures here in Oregon and our duck web feet don’t take kindly to temps above 82 degrees.  But the polar bears at the Oregon Zoo will have their own cool pool to play in to keep cold. Maybe we should all get a kiddie pool, red plastic ball and dive in!

Happy Quirky Friday!
