Rules of The Day:
1. Lose a tool and/or pet a tiger=lose eyes (or worse)
2. You don't have to be faster than the tiger you only have to be
faster than the slowest runner
3. If you're not the fastest runner find them and kick them down
4. Don't trust pizza crust crispers that come with 3.99 Walmart pizza-
it will result in a decent amount of smoke coming out of the oven
5. The three biggest fears are snakes, dying, and never finding love
6. There is no such thing as too much chocolate
7. Don't stand behind a cat with its tail straight up
8. If you fall in a "vat of chicken goo" you may take a shower
9. If the steering or brakes go out just throw the car into park. It's
better to pick up engine pieces than clean blood out of the interior.

We spent our morning in an attic moving boxes assembly line style.
Hello dustbunnies. Question of the day. Did you go on a safari? DIDNT
THINK SO. WE DID. After orientation we took a tour of all the big cats
on the premise. Our furry friends rolled around and roared for us all
day. Lions and tigers and ocelots OH MY! Despite their claws they
still looked cuddly enough to pet. We were reminded numerous times
that if we came too close we would get kitty clawed. While we were
moving a giant log that was quite obviously A.) Not in the way and B.)
Not going to move we saw a tiny mouse creeping out of the inside of
the log. Note: cuteness factor of the day already reached. SURPRISE
there's more. This mouse crawled out with about 10 baby mice clinging
to her as she skittered away. So we know you're wondering...are these
people actually doing any volunteer work? The second half of the day
consisted of repairing the electric security fence that keeps the
kitties from escaping the premise. This included cutting down 12 foot
rusty poles with a power saw (a learning experience) and tying the
fence to new, non-rusty poles. We then made our way back to our little
hideaway in the forest and had dinner. Frozen pizza fail. Ready for a
good night's sleep and a sunny day tomorrow at the tiger rescue.
Peace out.
Tigers
