Lily doing her job
August 9, 2010 – 10:45 PM CDT
The highlight of the day was a visit to Lily and Hope. We found Lily doing her job of being alert to danger and letting Hope relax and rely on her.
Beautiful Ursula, Lily’s 5-year-old aunt, dropped her collar. We quickly retrieved it and then lucked out by getting it right back on her to continue collecting data. Ursula is a sweetheart. We loosened her collar a few days ago and overdid it.
At dark, we found Braveheart’s gentle yearling Sarah up a white pine.
Everything is rolling along well on the educational outreach effort and your total domination of the Coca-Cola Park voting.
We are here thinking about what a vibrant group Lily’s fans are. We think of the fun of learning, partying, the clever fundraisers you have generated, and now the educational outreach and Coca-Cola effort. What an amazing variety of fun, effort, and accomplishment. Thank you for all you do!
