Sometimes when the day is already busy something else happens to make the day even longer. That has been nearly every day this week. After my nice relaxing Sunday I had to jump into work the next day. Monday morning I watched another Cheetah Run with the four boys. It was a really good run this time with both Smart Man and Blonde Man running a bit. However it didn't really help me for starting observations so I went feeding instead. Meg and I had a lot of fun fee...

This week has certainly been an interesting and somewhat exciting one. It all began with rhino tracking Monday morning. Meg and I were really excited because we had never done it before. We went out with Rob while he tried to find out where the two rhinos with radio tracking devices were. He found both signals and at one point we were about 500m to 1K from one he thinks, but we can't go by foot through the bush to find them. Nevertheless it was a pleasant drive a...

Things haven't been the same with Allie gone. It certainly is quieter for sure. Meg hasn't been feeling well for a while and it seems to be getting worse. Many people here have all been having some sort of stomach problems that come and go.

Monday Meg just stayed in bed the whole day bec...

Weeks seem to just fly by here at CCF. It's great to just be able to work really hard and do your best to be helpful. I have really been enjoying my time here. Monday was pretty boring. Jess, Stacy and I went to do observations in the morning (I should add that my manual driving skills have significantly improved). This time the cats were very uneventful and so it was a lot of sitting around in the sun. I now have great sock tan lines. For the rest of the day ...

Wednesday was an interesting day because as usual Jess and I went out to do observations. We went to the cheetah Cruise first which was the farthest away. After some difficulty of seeing him in the pen we decided to drive to the other side. It turned out to be the ideal looking spot and we sat on top of the car for the best view. This was also great because we could easily see the four boys Cruise is next to and get a better idea of how he interacts with them. ...
