Pure joy

Sometimes you are lucky enough to meet really, really nice people!

Megan and I met a lovely lady today, in the zoo.

Her name was Petra, and she looks after, amongst other things, the Tasmanian Devils.

We bought an Eye to Eye experience, which meant that we

were taken behind the scenes, into the "staff only"  part of the zoo.

Petra introduced us to Ronnie and Ochre, the two ancient (seven years old!)  Devils, 

and as she told us all about them, we got to feed them, with

real-live dead mice!

Afterwards Petra explained to Megan what it takes to be a zoo keeper,

and how she got the job. She even told Meg the name of a keeper

at Dublin Zoo, in case she wanted to talk to him about how it

works in Ireland!

The look of pure joy on Meggie's face afterwards!!!!

I'm grateful to Petra for taking the time to talk to us, and for making Meggie

feel so special.

Another step closer to her goal!

Gratefully yours.
