All week long Mom and Dad were talking to me about animals.. making me identify them in books, what sounds they make, downloading animal apps on their ipad, etc... Jeez Mom, I thought we were on summer break!!
Well, all of this was to prepare me for today. Today we went to a kinda scary place...the world famous San Diego Zoo.
Mom thought it would be fun to start us off at the petting zoo. I think this picture pretty much sums up my feelings about a petting zoo.
Next, Mom thought it would be a good idea to take me to go see the polar bears. They were large and scary, but they had a big blue ball and a pool and I liked that. But I didn't like it when Mom said that I couldn't go IN the pool to get the ball. I became a little angry with her.
To calm me down, she thought I would like to take a picture next to this seal popping out of an Arctic ice cap. Here she is convincing me. I told her politely that she was crazy and that there was no way I was getting near that animal (or in that hole for that matter).
Mom started to get the hint. I wasn't too crazy about these animals. Frankly, I enjoyed them as 2D drawings in my books.
After that confidence booster (and a snack) I was ready to see some elephants. Plus, this guy was cooling off, all with the help of his trunk - how cool!
Hmmm.... I think I could like this place, but I wouldn't need to return any time soon. My animal books will suffice.
Then, Mom told me she bought an annual pass and that we might be returning next weekend......

So she took me to a little play area with lots of tunnels. Now this place was more my style. No animals in sight!
