Elephant Parade

Friends

we posted about the Elephant Parade

that arrived in our town.

The elephants are placed throughout our town

on paths, lawns, sidewalks....

we found

in the harbor.

Mr. Cesar Milan's elephant and autograph.

And a corn on the cob elephant

 

 

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."

 

I love finding all these elephants

Calling the Dog Whisperer

Dear Mr. Cesar Milan,

You are not going to believe this. It was a big mistake. Very big. I was screaming, right. Screaming and yelling at the big white doggy that is so old he could barely walk. Me and Benny don't understand why I scream at senior citizens. But I do.

Mom took your advice Mr. Cesar. She made her hand like a mouth….like this….

She poked me in the neck area like you said. To simulate a bite. This is where the trouble began. It caught me off guard, I turned and yep….you got it. I made my cute little mouth like this……..

And took a nip.

I wanted to run for cover. When I realized it was momma, my little heart stopped going pitter-pat. I looked at Benson.

He looked so scared his eyes look like a Puggy. Big….

What..ut..oh..

My bones, my stuffies and my two years passed before my eyes. So Mr. Cesar, do you have any ideas how I could train momma not to ever scare me again?

See momma on the right?

Thank you,

Lily: aka: diabla, Liliana, Baby Girl, Sweetie, Sweetheart
