Tigers

I can’t tell you how much being this close to a tiger at the zoo, even a stuffed one one behind glass …

reminded me of this trip a year ago.

It was an amazing experience, and I’m incredibly fortunate! I’ll never forget the feel and smell of taking a live tiger for its morning walkies! *grins*

Can you believe that was a year ago?!?

and dinner.

Then there was Dreamworld. Where we took their oldest tiger for his morning constitutional!

His name is Mohan, and he is 16 years old. Go to the drop box here for more info.

These plants make him sneeze.

Photobucket

He was all grumbly and grumpy and whingey because his belly was still full of last night’s horsemeat dinner!

Photobucket

When walking along the train line he stays to the sleepers to protect his sensitive paw pads. Makes him a quiet hunter.

Definitely the highlight of our day! Though dirty …

And it was all over by 9am. But we wouldn’t have given it up for ANYTHING! We had the biggest grins on our faces, and given that we spent the rest of the day on the high adrenaline rides, we kept grinning all day long!

There aren’t any photos of the rides. We were too busy riding them 😛

More to come!
