A Monkey’s Armpit

Doesn't this just make you want to reach out and tickle his armpits? :-D. This was at Animal Kingdom. I loved the way they treat the animals there. He had a huge place to call home, lots of toys, and very little holding him in. I think he enjoyed sitting up there...

Well, now aren't you a sight for these poor old eyes! Please, come in...come in. Sit down on this nice, fluffy chair and tell me all about your hard day. A coworker was mean to you today? Well, that's just not right. A nice sweet girl like you shouldn't have to put up...

Texas Longhorns

It just wouldn't be Texas without some longhorns, now would it? This past week I took a trip to Orlando, and while I was there I visited the Animal Kingdom. And what did I see? Longhorns! Not these, the ones pictured here are near Ennis, TX. Don't worry, you'll see...
