me_norman.jpgI spent the day yesterday with all the animals at Jurassic Park Poplar Spring animal sanctuary. To the right, is me and Norman, the biggest cow I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the cow in the other photo.

It was a celebration day for the turkeys, who were given a yummy meal. Then there was a vegan potluck for the humans.

It was when everyone carried pumpkins down to the area where the pigs lived and lobbed them over the fence, breaking them open so the pigs could feast on them. It was quite a scene with 30+ pigs beside themselves with joy at all the pumpkins coming their way. pumpkins_pigs.jpg
