Obviously I’m not the only one starting early to celebrate Fall. Fufu, the hedgehog from the Oregon Zoo, had herself a wonderful time chowing down on grubs in Fall gourds. How cute is she?
So stock up on supplies of your choice, grubs or pumpkin, and get ready for winter. Don’t let Fufu get all the gourds!
Have a great, safe, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
We made it to the end of August! Kids are back in school early and Halloween decorations are in the stores. But before you run screaming into the garage in anticipation of the holiday season, take time to relax and watch the butterfly.
Young harbor seal Kaya at the Oregon Zoo was going about her business when she noticed a visitor. The encounter happened to be captured by the Zoo’s dive safety officer. What better way to remind us all to stop and watch the butterfly this long weekend.
Have a great, safe, long holiday 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!
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!

What could go wrong? The folks at the Oregon Zoo have been taking the kids for walks, goat kids, to get their exercise. One recent foray was to see the porcupine. The kids were very impressed. Stopped stock still for once.
The baby goat is Ruth, named for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and is definitely the more adventuresome of the pair, following in the footsteps of her namesake. Sonia is getting used to her long legs for rock climbing.
Have a great safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

While we’re still full from Turkey Day celebrations, it might be time to go for a walk and work off those 4,000 calories from yesterday. The ZooLights program at the Oregon Zoo is one way to support the animals, get exercise and see fun lights!
Whatever your community offers, get out there and mingle. Then you have an excuse to eat leftovers. More pumpkin pie please. I have my own personal can of whip cream.
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!
