Arctic fox update

It has been awhile since I worked with the foxes from the zoo, time flies! But the work is finally being published (it will be out in print this March).

To celebrate, marc found this lovely watercolor made by a New Zealand artist (a bit random). Though I have seen this photo online before, so it isn't original.

I also have heard back about the boys; both Cassius and Brutus are well, causing cute trouble just like always. Though Cassius has lost his pink spots on his nose, and they are hard to tell apart.  They are terrible twins now :)

Kitty Puzzles






It has been awhile since I have posted, mostly because my life mostly consists of thesis and less of cool adventures these days.

But this weekend is snowy, cold, and Marc and I both caught a flu bug. So we are hiding inside, with nothing else better to do then harass our cats :)

Our cats have to work for their snack's; we have several kitty puzzle boards where they have to overcome obstacles to get at food. In the top pictures, midnight has to move puzzle pieces and open drawers to get his food.  Below, Pachelbelle has to navigate food around posts and grab pieces of food out of mini fish bowls.

And as a result of these amusing efforts, we have created little monsters capable of opening doors and cabinets.  But they seem very proud of their accomplishments.
