Love the stories of your animal experiences, no wonder you're not keen on zoos.

I love the felt lion, Sian and the photo with the monkey is great - we have a photo of me and my sister posing with a monkey outside Bristol Zoo (they don't allow it any more...). <br />My sister got chewed by a sea lion (only her coat sleeve) because she tried to stroke him... <br />I was mugged by a squirrel once, outside the Wasington DC Natural History Museum... I crouched down and offered it a little bit of biscuit, but the squirrel just got on my knee, dived in the box and helped himself to the largest cookie he could find! There were Japanese tourists taking my photo (no kidding!). It was fun... and DS slept through the whole thing!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-90043689566105512212011-04-01T14:41:49.428+01:002011-04-01T14:41:49.428+01:00Super cute story.
