Homeward Bound [The Road To Bowmanville]
Monday, June 22nd, 2015 Today was a LONG day of driving. We cleared Manitoba in just a few short hours, but Ontario will be the real challenge… Above is a short time lapse of the seemingly endless roads accompanied by trees which occupy seemingly all of Canada. We drive from sunrise, to sunset, to sunrise…

Packing Up [Location “?”]
Sunday, June 21, 2015 After a long two and a half weeks, we were finally on our last day of shows here in Moose Jaw. After a day jam-packed with shows, lion cub photos, and camel rides, it was time to finally pack up a head out… The real question is, where are we heading…

The Sandwich Diet [Pure-Bread]
Saturday, June 20th, 2015 On this trip our animals have eaten very well. They’ve tasted beef, horse, and even elk, all freshly cut from a local butcher just last week. One thing I’ve notice on this job is that I often find the big cats and wolves eating better than me! I’ve also discovered that,…

Eye Of The Storm [Showering With Carnys]
Friday, June 19th, 2015 Today was opening day in Moose Jaw! After such a long break since our last show in Brandon, I was a little nervous about diving right back into it… I was also nervous because the forecast for the afternoon/evening mentioned things like “severe thunderstorms” and “torrential downpour”… While our first crowd…

Totem [Literal Team Building]
Thursday, June 18th, 2015 The calm before the storm. A term referring to the apparent quiet and tranquility that often precedes chaos. Today was the calm before the storm, both literally and figuratively. This weekend has forecast thunderstorms and other dangerous weather conditions.. Perfect fair weather, right? Today was also a very relaxing day animal…

The Lion And The Hound [Something Dirty]
Wednesday, June 17th, 2015 Last night was magnificent. The incredibly friendly owners of the Owl Center next to us invited is over for a BBQ. They pulled out all the stops (and 100% didn’t serve owl). There was chicken, there was steaks, beans, potatoes, carrots, salad, and cheesecake to finish it off. My body nearly…

Little Zoo On The Prarie [Camping Cuisine 101]
Tuesday, June 16th, 2015 Finally. It’s properly and seasonally warm… It must mean rain. This morning was the sunniest and most beautiful yet, made even better by a delicious breakfast (burritos with egg, bacon, and veggies) cooked by Dirk: Delicious. The animals were also in good spirits today, despite a small rain storm…

A Real Hoot [Owl Be There For You]
Monday, June 15th, 2015 First off, as promised, here is a photo of my unique new haircut: Today the sun finally came out, and stayed long enough to make a difference! The day was peaceful and warm, the perfect temperature to check out our neighbouring owl counterparts! The Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl centre…

January in June [Hairy Situation]
Sunday, June 14th, 2015 It is cold. It was cold when I woke up this morning. It was cold, cloudy, and windy all day. It is cold right now as I write this. It feels much more like January, than June. Today was another really enjoyable and laid-back day, despite the chill in the…
