An Inspiring Week in Review!

It was a short holiday this week, but never-the-less, we still provided some great upbeat blog postings for you to enjoy!

Monday's blog posting was about our Poetry Cats as we remembered their journey from Poetry, Texas to our facility in Wylie.  It was one year ago when we received an urgent plea from the family to help relocate 20 big cats (cougars, tigers, and lions) after the passing of the animals' owner.  Click HERE for the rest of the story!

On Tuesday, we reported a special trip to the Dallas Zoo where our interns and volunteers had a terrific opportunity to learn about their veterinary care and nutrition center.  Click HERE to read about he rest of their adventure at the Dallas Zoo.

Happy Independence Day everyone!  On Thursday we posted a short patriotic poem and pictures in honor of our 4th of July holiday!  You can see this posting HERE.

Yesterday's posting was all about getting our blog readers motivated either at work or while they are on holiday after watching our "Good Morning" video!  You can see this fun video HERE.



Cheetah Enclosure Update

Despite the rain and now the hot temperatures, the cheetah "Fast Track Habitat" is finally taking shape!

Let's take a look at the work in progress!

We are excited about the cheetah habitat progress and look forward to the day when it's finally finished so the cheetahs can explore their new home!

We pray everyone had a terrific week and will make plans to join us once again as we bring you  stories, pictures and videos of our beautiful exotics animals.  Remember, we are open for tours and we would love for you to meet the animals you see featured on this blog.  For tour information, click HERE!

Good Morning!

This next video is dedicated to all our blog fans who are either at work or on vacation and need a little boost to get this day started!

We'd like to extend good morning salutations to all our blog readers, nationally and internationally.  So many US cities and international countries visit our blog, it's hard to recognize everyone! 


We hope this video inspired you to "get-up-and-go" out and do something amazing today!  So get up, get up and have a great day!

I Am Old Glory

I Am Old Glory:   For more than ten score years I have been the
banner of hope and freedom for generation after generation of Americans.
   
Born amid the first flames of America's fight for freedom,
I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group
of thirteen colonies to a united nation of fifty sovereign states.
  
Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith
my gently fluttering folds have proved an inspiration to untold millions.
   
Men have followed me into battle with unwavering courage.
   
They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity.
   
They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heritage of free men.
   
So long as men love liberty more than life itself;
so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the
blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice
and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall
continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America.

Originally written by Master Sergeant Percy Webb, USMC.

May you have a wonderful safe 4th of July holiday!
