Take A Hike [Psych-Out]
Thursday, August 20th, 2015 After months of hard work, attempting to study in the middle of fairs, and harrowing searches for wi-fi, today was finally the day I finish my online psychology course! This morning I awoke bright and early (7am) to head across Lethbridge and over the amusingly named Old Man River, to…

Staying Hydrated Without Dying 101 [North Battleford]
Tuesday, August 12th-Friday, August 15th I will be entirely honest with whomever may be reading this. We have faced our share of difficult and challenging obstacles over the past 2ish months, but any inclination to believe that the worst was in the past dissipated upon setting up shop in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. I really have…

Short Drive Or A Long Walk [M Is For McKenzie]
Monday, August 10th, 2015 Today was supposed to be an easy day driving only a couple hours from Saskatoon to North Battleford… Knowing us though, we can break down on even the simplest of drives. I decided since today would be another day filled with waiting roadside for mechanical help, and not much else, I’d…

Don’t Sask, Don’t Tell [Hold On To Your Balls]
Friday, August 7th-Monday, August 10th The best way to explain how quickly the next few days in Saskatoon went, is by the constant flow of balls into our cat’s mouths. Due to how close we were to many of the midway attractions, including the classic “knock the blocks over with a green soft-ball”.…

The Band Plays On [Funnel Cake Delivery Service]
Thursday, August 6th, 2015 Today was another exceptionally ordinary day at the fair (thank-goodness). It finally dried up outside, and we got to see a very fun marching band during camel rides! I also did a carnival food run today for the crew, picking up funnel cake, candy apples, and some spiral fries for…

The Flood [We Are The Ark]
Wednesday, August 5th, 2015 Even though the only animals that we have two proper pairs of are wolves and lions [and the wolves are mother/son (yikes)], today still felt very reminiscent of Noah’s Ark. Much like the ark, the animals stayed dry and cozy all day. It was us who got wet. Since we were…

Fresh Face [My Fair Lady]
Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 After an extensive break between Medicine Hat and Saskatoon’s exhibitions, it was finally time for the beginning of our largest fair yet: The Saskatoon Exhibition. The start of any new fair is always an exciting and hectic one, often starting with the cleaning up of the prior break’s accumulated facial hair.…

Wild [Saskatoon Lifestyle]
Saturday, August 1st-Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 Before this blog post begins, let’s first discuss the elephant in the room. I’d like to remind everyone however we have no elephant on tour with us, so I am speaking proverbially. Unfortunately due to a severe lack of wifi, a busy schedule, and good ole’ absent-mindedness, I am…

Cecil [We’re Only Lion To Ourselves]
Friday, July 31st, 2015 By now, I am sure that many of you have read/heard the news on the illegal hunting of beloved African Lion: Cecil. While this event was deeply saddening to thousands around the world, including my zoo crew and I, feeling sorry is not going to change what happened to Cecil…But we…

Baboon Gourmet [Monkey Meals 101]
Thursday, July 30th, 2015 After a brief stroll by the river this morning, I got to come back to clean cages… The mighty South Sascatchewan River. While it doesn’t sound outwardly very exciting, there are some fun perks involved. My personal new favourite is preparing the baboon’s treat balls while they are out on their…
