I’ve just finished up another run of six shows here at the Calgary Zoo. All shows were really well-attended with a great mix of children, young adults, adults and seniors of various heritages. Many thanks to Lisa McDonald, Manager of Visitor Information at the Calgary Zoo, for inviting the squirrels and I to “show our stuff” to Calgarians! And many thanks to my “Guardian Angel” at the Calgary Zoo, Chrissy.

After the last show a young woman approached me and asked if my squirrels were microchipped at Burloak Animal Hospital in Ontario. I replied yes, and asked how she came up with that. Well, it turns out that she used to work there and she recognized the staff shown in one of my slides! A small world indeed. She now works for a vet here in Calgary, although not for a vet that specializes in exotics.

My stay with Jesse and Hillary was really great and relaxing - add to that Jesse’s great cooking and I have no complaints at all! It was nice to eat some real food for a while! I’ve been busy vacuuming the car, washing clothes and squirrel stuff, re-organizing the car and doing the odd repair on costume pieces and such.

Early tomorrow (Monday) morning I head out for Manitoba - likely stopping at a provincial park in Saskatchewan along the way. I’ll update this blog when I get to my next venue in Manitoba - Spruce Woods Provincial Park. Until then, may the forest be with you…
