Here is a news story about a veterinary procedure at Franklin Park Zoo--an examination and cardiac screening of our oldest male gorilla.

The article includes this picture of the goings-on:


It's amazing how many people you can fit into a gorilla cage when you need to. Pictured are almost all my zoo hospital coworkers, my best zoo buddy Kikipuff, 3 other zookeepers, and some visiting doctors (who are the focus of the article above). Also Kitombe, the western lowland gorilla, who did great from the moment he presented his shoulder for the injection of sedative until he woke up and accepted a treat from the head vet.

Last Monday (the 21st! I'm over a week behind) I stayed home sick from work. Cuddling Maggie made me feel a little better. I had some kind of sore throat sickness; it felt like I'd smoked a carton of unfiltered cigarettes (I hadn't). For a short scary time I was convinced I had Strep which I seemed to get every year when I was a kid. I dreaded the throat cultures more than anything--injections, drop-the-pants-and-cough, anything would be better than the tongue depressor on my gag reflex.

How about these apples?

Thank you, Fiona, if indeed you did send me a book. Sorry I can't remember that you did, I have a memory like a steel sieve. I probably thought I'd ordered it and then forgot about it. What book was it? dm me on twitter (@jefctaylor) if you don't want to expose yourself here.

Then again, we've only been fostering pit bulls for about a year, so maybe she didn't mean us. That means there's another couple on LJ who lives in Boston who fosters pit bulls? How do we not know them? If you're reading this, Fiona Apple or Mystery Couple, let us know so we can say hi.

LJ is the best, isn't it?
