How cool
Well, when you are an animal lover, it's funny how these things don't bother you. Like, when Amber pees on me, to wake me up, as I try to sleep in on my days off, if I don't get up and feed her now!!She also had llamas and one spit at a guest during his morning jog. She apologized but the guest didn't mind - he booked another stay!

No major damage, just pulled the line apart at the fitting. Ok, water line repaired and off to the next hole. Post hole auger going down nice an easy. What's that you say from the barnYou lost powerOh no, we hit the underground wiresOk ok, no one was electrocutedWell, the wires were fixed and thankfully, we drilled the last of those darn post holes. Now we just have to put in the 10 foot tall 4x4 posts, hang 9 gauge cattle panel fencing on the sides and chain link on the top and that enclosure will be done. Yes, we really do some nice work, even with a few bumps along the way
Atleast you keep your humor about you when all is going to heck in a handbasket!Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat

Any luck with those numbersOriginally Posted by Tari
I've always said that if I ever hit the Lotto my dream would be to buy a big old piece of farmland and build an animal sanctuary on it. If my numbers come in tonight maybe we can work out building one together!(I'd need an expert on the big kitties!)
Hello Lorraine. Nice to see you here
Yes, especially when you have 5 people looking down into a 2 foot hole thinking, now what the heck do we do
I see this is about Snow leopards. They are such beautiful cats
Not yet, but I'll keep trying!Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat

I am sure you heard the wrong story of what really happened to Roy Horn. Our liberal media will NEVER tell the truth. Roy Horn had a stroke while on stage. (Not after as the media stated) Roy's tiger knew something bad had happened and took action to protect Roy, by pulling him off the stage. The tiger grabbed Roy by the back of the neck, becuase that's how cats would move their young. All cats, have very loose skin on the back of their neck, that can handle being grabbed there. But us humans, do not have that skin and we are not designed to be picked up or moved by the neck like a cat. This is why Roy suffered his injury, it was NOT because he was "mauled" as the stupid media stated. Had he been mauled by a tiger, there would have been no more Roy left. Roy himself stated "do not kill the cat" because he knew exactly what his tiger was trying to do. That tiger was only trying to help, but does not understand that us humans can not be handled the same way they would handle another tiger. That is why when owning these cats, you must understand that they think of you, as one of them, and will treat you the same. As for Rowdy the tiger, my friend does not go into the cage with him, unless the cat is moved to his "lockout" section. Rowdy is very friendly and loves his owner very much, just as Carmelo, Amber, Boris and Nakoma love me and my wife. There is a bond that forms between these cats and their owners, that is like no other. To see Carmelo when I walk into his enclosure, to give him his "cougie hugs" as I call them, would just melt anyones heart. To see him stand there, with eyes closed and with a purr that can be felt deep inside you, as you hug him, is a gift to me from God.Originally Posted by menasmom
They sure are beautiful, but somehow I can't get the image of Roy Horn out of my head...
Yes, most people do and this would make him more calm. However, Rowdy is a very rare Bengal Tiger. If our friend was contacted to breed his tiger for conservation purposes, he would. But he would not breed his tiger, just to sell them and make large sums of money. Our friend supports private ownership of exotic cats, just as I do. But with a tiger, it takes someone with advanced knowledge to care for them and he doesn't want his tigers, if he were to breed, going into the wrong hands. (my friend has over 20 years experience working with big cats, including tigers, black leopards and cougars and I have been learning a lot from him as well) He is the owner of Rowdy the tiger, Dejah and Shawnee cougars and Montana the Eurasion Lynx
I never said anything about Roy being mauled by Montecore. I lived near him for years and I know how experienced he is with these animals and was lucky enough to visit his home home once and saw how they walk around freely in and out of the house. I just don't know how much experience you have with these animals and hope you are being careful, that's all.
I know you didn't say that, I just wanted to make sure you knew the true story, since the media always puts a negative spin on everything. I do have the experience, but I continue to learn every day and have many mentors. Doing the very best for these cats is very important to me and yes, I am always careful and most important, I am very responsible
You lived near Roy Horn and his tigers?
Yeah, I did, but on the other side of town, in Henderson, Mike Tyson (the boxer) bought a house next door to Wayne Newman (who has beautiful Arabian horses there), only Mike thought he was Mr. Cool and bought some tigers to roam his property. The neighbors did NOT like that, because unlike Roy and Siegfried, he knew nothing about handling big cats and was only doing it to be "cool" or whatever. Who knows what goes on in that dope's head...Originally Posted by gemlady
