The Elephants Are Here!

Friends the Elephants have arrived!
 
This here is Mosha
The story
"She needs your support. In fact, a whole species does. Asian elephants are on the verge of extinction, and the commitment for their preservation started with special elephant known as Mosha. After stepping on an abandoned land mine, Mosha was fit with the world¹s first-ever prosthesis for a baby elephant. Her powerful strides inspired father and son duo, Mike and Marc Spits, to create Elephant Parade®in 2006. As a socially-conscious business enterprise, Elephant Parade has since rapidly grown from a grassroots movement into a global crusade combining a powerful mix of corporate, celebrity and community support. Through the sale of merchandise and auction of the original art pieces, the exhibition has raised over $6 million dollars to help support the world¹s most majestic land mammals and raise global awareness of issues affecting their dramatic plight."

These elephants are placed all around our town.
Our town was chosen
We sure feel special.
Cool huh?
The elephant parade will be here awhile.
So we will probably visit them again

  19. Dear Benny and Lily,

    My person loves elephants. I think they are big and a little bit scary... But they deserve to be taken care of too, just like all Animals on our Earth! Those sure are pretty elephants! (And not as BIG or SCARY as real ones. Whew.)

    Licks,

  20. That is too cool Benny & Lily!

    Our hometown in NY did horses on pee-raid and now we're doing hamburgers! Can't eat these burgers tho, they are not real. Trust me, we tried!

    Hugs,
    Lily Belle & Muffin

  23. Those elephants are beautiful! We hope lots of peeps realise the plight of the Asian elephant. We've seen the adult with the prosthetic leg, but not the baby, after stepping on land mines.

  25. We love elephants, too. Scranton had a display of donkeys once, but they were not as cool as elephants. Hope you can visit them plenty more times, and show us more pictures!

  26. Wow. Super Duper Cool! I want me an elephant to play wiff. Maybe I should put it on my Christmas list.

  27. A few years ago we had one in Kansas City at the Plaza with cows, but Mom doesn't think they were attached to any great cause like this one is. Not only are those painted elephants beautiful, but so much good is being done too.

    BTW, we heard that noise, Benny:)

  28. Elephants are very important and I applaud you for raising our awareness. Just one thing: I thought Kim was Khloe's elephant

  29. The elephants are so great and what a great charity! Lady and Man went to an elephant refuge on one of their trips and loved spending time with them. They actually got a painting done by an elephant to help them. We hope elephants come and visit us . . . Lee and Phod

  33. Hi! We just found you guys. You are adorable. My name is Matilda the greyhound, and I have also struggled with cancer, and had chemo. Benny, we are cheering for you. We love elephants too. Mom has some prints up on the wall from the Ashes and Snow show. We invite you to our blog.

  35. That's so very cool! Our town has penguins very much like this. I'm always tempted to stop and pet one, or have my photo taken with one.

  36. Your two are quite brave! When I was a child (much larger than yourselves!) I was terrified of elephants- even fake ones! I grew out of the fear but not out of, if you can believe it, a severe allergy to elephants!

    Benny, you are every bit as dapper in the Bluberry Chevron martingale collar as we'd hoped!

  37. Each of our local inside Nyc do race horses on pee-raid now we're doing cheese burgers! Cannot try to eat these hamburgers tho, they may not be actual. Believe me, many of us tried out!
