End of the Week Review!

Well, this week has certainly been a roller-coaster of emotions for our readers.  Filled with lots anger, laughter, tears, and more laughter...

On Monday, we brought to your attention a story of Ozzi, a handsome lynx, who through no fault of his own, was destroyed because a Texas veterinarian, city police and animal control officer deemed him to be "dangerous" and not worthy to live any longer.  We had more comments posted to this story on our Facebook page and blog combined than any blog posting thus far--your comments were filled with sadness, anger, concern, and of course, love for Ozzi.  Ozzi's family wanted us to convey their thanks to you for supporting them during their time of grief--your words truly made a difference to them.

Tuesday's blog was a blatant attempt to lighten the mood, as we showed you some cute "before and after" birthday pictures of Moses (so adorable as a cub and now as a adult bobcat) and Emma (very sweet cub grew into a gorgeous tigress). 

We also celebrated the arrival anniversaries of three beautiful tigers, Iona, Kaiya, and Sultan on April 27th--they have been with us for eight years (gosh, time goes by so fast)! Our "Brats" love to play on the playground and in their pool. It's hard to believe they are going to be ten years old this year!

On Wednesday, reflected upon the animals that taught us unselfish love, providing us with memories that we will recall to brighten our days for the rest of our lives:  Ranger, Eric, and Midas.  If you haven't had a chance to read about these beautiful animals, then we encourage you to do so today!  There is a link posted in each of their stories that takes you to special pages where Vicky wrote either a special poem or letter to our animal friends.  This link will give you more insight into our beloved animals whom have passed.

Katy, our amazing dog, has quite the following! Yesterday we posted a fun video of Katy working her magic at In-Sync Exotics!  Our tireless working dog [wink wink] is always on the move, willing to provide a helping paw when ever it's needed!

Can't get enough of Katy?  Well, come on out this weekend to In-Sync Exotics and watch our hard working dog strut her stuff around the sanctuary!  Celebrity status has not changed her one bit!

Until next week, we hope you have a safe and wonderful weekend and we'll return on Monday with more fascinating information about our wild ones!
